Why do some riders insist on insulting Harley lovers. I have a novel thought. You enjoy your Honda, or Victory, or BMW or whatever, and just let Harley riders like enjoy their bikes. The Ultra Limited is a great bike.
+Scott Mitchell Hi Scott, I have owned several Harley's, brit bikes, a BMW, and loads of Japanese bikes. There are brand snobs in all circles. I also don't get it. Love what you ride. What I don't get, is those who have only ever owned and ridden one particular brand, and critique all others. All bike makers churn out good models and not so good models, depending on the year. Everyone has different requirements, and like bikes, come in all shapes and sizes. Some like long distance comfy touring, and some like canyon sweeping. Live and let ride. What does this old fart ride? A neckid Black 900 Bonneville :-) Enjoy yer Ultra!
***** I would rather purchase a new bmw k 1600 than a goldwing, but it is not a Harley. "rather save my back", what, are you driving offroad or curb jumping? With all the air out of the suspension (lowered look), the only issue I have had is the frost bump on the bridge joint. And those things jar my car suspension.
***** and a Harley touring model does that. Even a heritage softail with the suspension adjusted correctly is good, but after about 500 miles with stock grips and bar mounts, I needed a rest. Road a victory a tank and a half before I had to stop riding it due to comfort not handling.
It's not 41k. Check the HD dealership near you for the actual price. I'm buying one for 25k. And if you want a polaris, go for a victory. If you want a piece of american Heritage, get a Harley.
you're crazy... I got my '14 Ultra with all the belz and whistles, including full stage 1, 5yr/unlimited mile warranty, and a few other accessories for 32K American Bux.
I rode one of these things in the spring of 2014, there is nothing to be impressed about. Power is underwhelming, handling is nothing more than okay, it wants to stand up in curves. The only liquid cooling is to the two exhaust valves in the head. Almost all of the so-called Rushmore improvements have been done on other bikes for many years. The so-called greatness of a Harley is the biggest farce in motorcycle history.
You have to add your own air to the rear shocks? For 15,000 dollars less, Gold Wings have ALWAYS HAD an electric on board air pump just for the rear shock preload adjustment. How sad for the old-fashioned, over priced H-D thumpers ! Mine is a 2002 Gold Wing.

you will always have haters. Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge, American vs European and on and on.

I've watched a # of reviews on this bike. This is by far, the best one! Thanks! Looking forward to my California HD Rental this week!
I'm suprised how much you liked it, being a Harley, must be pretty nice! and wowzers is that pricey!

This is a NZ channel and 32K USD = 41K NZD. No wonder all the kiwis are moving to Australia with their fush, chups and chully buns!
The engine is way quieter than expected. Where's that throaty HD roar?
Needs a set of “TAB Medium” slip on mufflers. She would sound much better.
I thought the cvo with the 110 was the flagship.
You're driving on the wrong side of the road. What's 400 kilos? Drugs?
Hey goober, the CVO is the flagship of the Harley line.
