2007 with a 'silver' engine? Thought the silver ones disappeared in 2006 along with some of the defects that had shown up on the early models. Maybe wrong but I'm sure you'll get a lot better advice from the more knowledgeable on here...

My 2007 that is now owned by my son. Silver engine. I believe he has about 36K on it now but hasn't ridden it for quite some time. Being stationed at the Pentagon and living in Maryland, with a 2 hour commute each way, he hasn't had much time to get out to ride. Thankfully neither he nor I have ever had any issues with it save for a TPS that went out on me with under 5k. Repair was covered under warranty. I've offered to buy it back from him should he discontinue riding.

No, just happened to have a silver engine 07. I loved that bike and and did many road trips on it. I miss it but get to ride it when visiting Maryland. It also has the oversize Clearview windscreen.

Pretty bike, love that color scheme!

The red with black is a color combo I would love you have. Really anything over the matte black would be welcomed.

Maybe the classics had silver engines beyond 2006. My 2005 turbo rocket has a black engine and is the same engine since new

Thanks guys. She really is a beauty. I bought her in 2007 at Pensacola Triumph/Ducati. My daughter bought a beautiful Speedmaster at the same time. She had sold her Harley to her brother but then learned that the Blazing a Trail Combat Helo Association Riders Group was honoring her fiance, who had been killed in Iraq in 2006, at Daytona Bike Week. I flew out to attend and we bought the bikes together, riding to Ft Rucker to meet up with the rest of the riders and then on to Daytona.

There was a Blue/White Classic with a black engine sitting next to it on the showroom floor that I preferred. The salesman told me a Soldier returning from Iraq had called to say he would buy it but since he hadn't put any money down yet, I could have it. Nope I told him. I wouldn't buy a bike out from under a Soldier returning from the Sandbox and I was not disappointed with the silver engine Classic Tourer. She's fast and furious.

Mitzy, I always thought that gray was a beautiful color. Fine machine she is.
