"07 Ultra info?

Get what you want NOW. Grab a leftover 05. As the years roll here the MOCO is moving forward to meet EPA and ensure their future, on the other hand we as buyers are loosing more.

O6 marked the year of the line in the sand, 02 sensors, smaller injectors, different shaped, smaller, chamber/head design, new six speed with normal
1st year production issues, a more aggressive engine management system or at least a leaner AFR that kicks it in faster, and EPA looming on the horizon to enforce the Clean Air Act.

How long before the plug into the bike and transmit your information to DMV as they do here in PA with our cars at inspection? And a note on that I have a PT Cruiser GT which is a turbo with an Auto Stick. I have a stage II turbo, Greddy Boost Controller, 3" CAT and Exhaust, adjustable waste gate, and an adjustable blow of valve, and can boost 20-22 LBS and make just shy of 300 HP. This is the same motor as the SRT-4 and those guys are getting close to 380 HP and I think someone has hit 400 HP out of these 4 cylinders.

My point is on a sniffer, plugged into the DMV, I pass every time no issues. So will my bike also? Will there be a DB meeter there too?


Rant over, I think........

Get on the bike you want now and forget about the future, you cant predict it, change it, but you can put your leg over your new scoot and contemplate it while you are grinning ear to ear..................

I have the bike I am going to die with so not an issue for me, something about my cold dead hands ....

Thanks guys, good advice. I guess waiting around to see what may (or more likely may not) happen in the future isn't worth it. The EPA stuff really scares me. I remember reading "doomsday" scenarios in various magazines but I thought "Here in America? No way!" Boy do I sure feel naive now.

In MN, we used to have mandatory annual EPA inspections in the 7 county metro area including St. Paul and Minneapolis but they actually conducted a clean air study and found out that it really wasn't making any difference in the air quality, so they abolished it many years ago. Imagine that! Government actually learning that they are wasting tax payer's money on a worthless program, so they voluntarily choose to do away with it (too expensive to keep going).

I guess it is only a matter of time before we will see mandatory water cooling on bikes to reduce emissions. What a joke, how much "harmful emissions" can all the bikes put togeher across the U.S. really be puting out compared to everything else out there. Will it really make a difference to limit bikes? Doubt it, but it looks like we will be forced to find out....Sorry for the long rant!

Retrax, I am faced with the same dilemna, planning on buying sometime summer of '07 just cause thats when the money I want will be there. Saving like crazy now and may have enough to get it a little sooner say spring of '07 or at least know I'm gonna have what I want to have when I walk in the door,feel secure enough about it, to go ahead and order it spring '07. Anyway when I was looking at summer of '07 I was thinking about maybe waiting till the '07's come out for just the same reasons as you. Now I have decided to just get it when I am ready and if I decide I want a 6 speed add it later. Havent done a lot of study on them but wouldnt be surprised if the Jims and Baker units are better than the factory units at this time anyway...although maybe HD's will be better in their second year of production. At anyrate decided its not worth making myself wait any longer than I have to in thinking that something might change that I would like better. I simply cannot imagine that anything could change that would make me say "Damn now I wish I didnt have to ride around on this crappy old '06 FLHTCUI". They are just to damn sweet of a ride now!
