Solid ride
By (I am an Owner) on Jun 09, 2015I have about 1,000 miles on my 06 Electra Glide Standard. I went to it from a Victory Cross Roads. While the Victory is a more advanced bike, the Standard is more fun to ride. My style is laid back with upright posture, and this bike fits perfectly. I am 6'1", and do NOT feel cramped on this ... bike. It has plenty of everything, and the tour pak is a great option for trips. Passengers also really like the tour pak and surrounding cushions while riding. I do not feel that there is any significant deficiency with this bike. It is an older school Harley. If, like me, that is what you want, this bike will do it for you. If you want a spaceship, get the Victory. I like the Harley better.

I had better H-D's
By (I am an Owner) on Mar 24, 2011I picked my 2006 carburetor and I have had so much trouble with the carburetor that I put a S&S in my bike, that did OK for a week then It did the same I went to what I was told was some of the best H-D mechanics in MI. but I'm still running rich and popping,missing,just running like crap! The H-D ... dealer did 0 to help me but give me a big bill!? some times I would like to just sell it but I love the feel and the looks of my bike after I spent a lot of money on the looks and after market parts! if I could just find some one that was good with carburetor bikes that could fix it I would be happy!

Most Comfortable Harley I've ridden
By (I am an Owner) on Jan 13, 2010I have been a Motorcycle enthusiast since I was a kid. Riding Harley Davidson
MC since 1974.My 2006 Electra Glide Standard purchase in October 2005 was the first Touring Model I have ever owned. A big change from riding the Pans ,
Shovel heads and newer Softails.
100 mile rides ... turn in to 400 miles.
After riding 8500 miles last season I would never ride anything but one of the Harley Touring models. It feels so balanced when you pull up to stop.
Its holds the road riding in a head wind or side winds. But at 6 ft and 230 lbs I am at the max for legroom.

2006 Electra Glide Standard
By (I am an Owner) on Nov 01, 2009I have been riding for years and my 1985 FXRSE was getting tired. I got a new 2006 FLHT in july 06 and only have 3200 miles on it. I'm 6 3" and I have moved the floor boards up but feel very cramped on this bike. I rode older FLHTs back in the day but the new ones suck for comfort for any over 6ft.My ... friend is 5 8" and he rode my bike and found it cramped.
Very Unhappy with this Bike.
