Big Twin!
2009 Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail Classic
I visited Barnett Harley-Davidson on Saturday and I saw this sign that read “07 and up Sportsters receive full MSRP for trade-in.” Ever since my birthday when I was helping out with Barnett’s Demo Days, I knew I wanted to eventually get a Heritage Softail Classic. It was the perfect fit for me. At first I thought I wanted an Ultra Glide, but when I actually took one for a spin, I knew it was too big for me to handle comfortably, and I didn’t like the way it put me so high up on the bike. It’s as though you’re sitting on top of the bike. The Heritage Softail Classic feels like you’re riding in the bike, a much better feel for me. This offer solidified my purchase. I traded in my 2008 Sportster Custom for this Big Twin shown here next to my Firebird; gives you kind of an idea of the size. Here’s a link to some more pictures of it.
They pulled it out of the crate Monday afternoon and started putting it together I had it by 7PM. Boy is it nice. The extra power of the 94 cubic inch engine. The added 6th gear. The floorboards. Comfortable and plentiful saddle. Gigantic saddlebags that could hold 3 gallons of milk and then some.
