ok haven't been around here in a while. still riding harley.

so been thinking about getting a luxo liner. I know I'm getting old. LOL

so the thought is getting a new scoot 2015 ultra classic, couple things I don't like about it. linked brakes, more and more elec stuf etc. the price is not friendly.
would trade the current ride in on it '09 superglide

second thought is a '97 ultra with 75K miles. really nice shape appearance wise, and when you think about it 75K is not a lot of miles for a bike that old.
picking that one up allows me to keep the present ride. would be nice to have a spare to let my kid ride with now and than as well as nto always having to ride a land yacht. LOL

working on the old bike is no big deal. if I pick it up now I would have all winter to go through it and get it ready to make some long hauls next season.

so any known issues with a '97?
any thoughts as to which way you would go.

what are the real differences between the two bikes other than electronics?
