Mine is a 2006 Streetglide w/ the Twin Cam 88 ci (1450cc??) motor & 5 speed trans. It is belt drive w/ dual front disc brakes. It also has a 5 gallon gas tank. I average about 42 mpg. It weighs 850 lbs. wet.

The '07's and above have a 96 ci motor that actually makes less horsepower and has a tendancy to overheat in traffic.

They also have a very whiney 6 speed (5th gear particulary), so I'm not going to upgrade to a newer model until they fix some problems in the newer versions.

Then to top it all off, the newer ones have an aircraft carrier sized 6 gallon gas tank. It's so wide you can play ping-pong on it.

I have almost 36k miles on it and it's been very reliable and is more comfortable than any other bike I've owned. And I'm "Rockin' Down the Highway" (kudos to the Doobie Bros., eh MM?)
