You got a great bike, and sounds like the price was right too! I got a chance to demo ride one on the track last spring. it's a little heavy in the corners, but has guts you won't believe. Extremely easy to ride and get power out of. I liked that the redline was 10500 too. It felt like I could rev it some, unlike my XB9R which you don't get a chance to wring out before shifting. After riding it on the track, my thoughts were that it makes very agerage riders MUCH faster. Enjoy!

You've gotten a great bike at a great price.
Imagine what could have been if Harley had allowed Buell to build or source a liquid cooled engine ten years earlier.
Instead, they f*cked him as soon as the economy turned south. Harley would rather license beer and trinkets, sell 1948 Fat Blobs to accountants and dentists who pose as "outlaws" on Sunday, and sell crotchless leather chaps to San Francisco queers than fund the building of world class performance bikes.
15 or 20 years from now, everyone who ever wanted a Harley will be dead or drooling on themselves in a nursing home. F*ck Harley Davidson.

He had a couple of factory reflashs, but a download from the internet smoothed things out as I recall...
