get the new bike and have it tuned with a TTS tuner and you will be fine.

TTS and Vance & Hines Monster Ovals will make a world of difference with response and heat. The new exhaust header route really helps as well. The new gearing will give you a decent punch in 6th gear even at 60mph. From the limited miles I have put on my 09 FLTR, ( winter ), I see nothing but positives with the 2009. Gear changes are impressively smoother.
I previously had a 2008 Ultra with the same mods and there is no comparison, IMO, in the rideability between the two.
