- We review the top of the range Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited 114.
We give you our unbiased, honest opinion about this beautiful touring bike.
We put it through it's paces on the motorway (freeway), duel carriageways, town and country roads, to assess how good this motorcycle truly is.
We look at the engine, brakes, handling, suspension, rake and trail, geometry, gears, styling, luggage capacity, infotainment system, wind protection, and more! Everything you need to know to make an informed purchase decision.
This example came in the lovely two-tone river rock grey and black, with plenty of shiny chrome!
We give you the specs, price and fuel economy too, plus we answer subscribers questions.
The drone footage was filmed by the Drone Pilot Luke Gale. His website: www.l-uke.com/drone

Played a big part of me getting my 2021 Black on Black.. im 6.2" and 145kg i love it .so easy to handle.. does need a stage 1 or 2 tho...
Thanks buddy. That’s great to hear 💯👍🏼
I seem to need a new bike every four years or so and the reason I still ride a Harley instead of a Yamaha, Kawi, Indian or Honda is that you can feel the superior workmanship and quality in every turn of the road. As far as no good for short trips ... man, that top box holds all my gear for work and I get a complement from the guys and the _ladies_ at work at least two or three times a month. Thanks for reviewing my bike. You may have just earned a T-shirt sale. :)
PS: The kick stand ... yeah, just put it in gear, roll forward to the stop, set it down and all's good.
Yes good points! I was thinking the top box is more useful than the side ones space wise. It’s so nice to be able to get a helmet (or two ) locked away. We’ve got some great t-shirt designs on our store. We added two more today also.
I'm 6 foot,220lbs. I own the 107ci 2018 electra glide ultra classic{couch}. I put on about 35k miles a year-so far this year 24k {covid-19}. Went to Sturgis 1024 miles from the house/Nevada. At 85mph interstate speed-2up-2 weeks worth of gear I got 46mpg heading east/with the wind and 38mpg into the wind heading home. I recommend the Memphis Shades touring light tint windshield 10.5" for me. Great review as always.
Thanks buddy! Great to hear your experience 👍🏼👍🏼
I got a 2020 Ultra. I'm 6'5". Installed Mini apes with a Tall boy seat and I'm pretty comfortable. It's a great bike.
That’s good to know! 👍🏼👍🏼
I wonder how much different the tall boy is to the daddy long legs seat
Great looking bike. Paint is top shelf too. This what Harley does right. Otherwise Harley Davidson’s Touring bike’s, by today’s standards, need as standard, water cooling, electric windscreens, center stands, backlit handlebar switches for night right riding, a real horn and LED lighting. Come on now.
Yes it looks great! I’m sure Harley-Davidson will read your comments bro 👍🏼
Don't know about the rest of the stuff but the horn on my 2001 Sportster is fantastic. Shame I only get to use it once a year just before the MOT.
@@splodge5714 I usually blip the throttle on mine for attention from the dozy car drivers
The lit hand controls would be icing on the cake!
@@jolkraeremeark6949 yeah! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you, great video. I've ridden these and agree with everything you've said. But you articulate the points far better than I would! Hope you're all safe and well, much love from Leeds.
Thanks very much buddy! Much appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼
You REALLY checked this bike out. The fact that you mentioned the gear shift indicator display number's are hard to read tells me everything! Anyone watching and reading this review. This video is 100% accurate. I just bought a 2021 Vivid Black (blacked out option) Ultra Limited. Me 6' tall, I added a Mustang Super Touring seat which moved me back 2" inches. Perfect arm stretch, no new bars needed. At 6' no wind buffeting from the fairing. The bike sits fairly tall for a tourer. As you said the kick stand is AWFUL!!!! I commend you for such an accurate review. Thanks.
The drone footage is very good and the new background scenes also add to the overall effect. A good review.
Thanks buddy! Yes the drone pilot was awesome 👍🏼
Been riding for 46 years ridden and raced them all over the years, yep Im old now and simply love my Ultra. I do 700 kilometres a day rides, always feel fresh and the end of the ride. She's my keeper and will see me out no problems.
Awesome! Fabulous bike
Great Review! Authentic, informative and very sympathetic in every way! Keep it like it is, cause you're doing an amazing work! Best wishes from Germany...
Thanks Sven! Much appreciated 👍🏼
Great review, some time ago I mentioned that your reviews looked like you just did country lanes, Glad to see that you now introduce them with confirmation that you have rode the bike on motorways, twisties towns etc. Channel is going from strength to strength
Thanks Peter! Yes we remember your comment so it’s worth making the point because we can’t film everything. 👍🏼👍🏼
Often times when you review bikes I feel like the bike is much smaller in comparison to you so I think this bike fits you well nice review thumbs up from one of your favorite viewers
Thanks buddy. The big tourers and cruisers are definitely better sized
Being a 1999 Electra Glide rider who is 6'4" tall, I solved the slightly cramped feet problem by buying an aftermarket brake arm that is a bit longer, the rear view made better with longer side mirror stand-offs, and more relaxed touring position with foot pegs that attach to the crash bars. I bought this bike new in Dec. 1998 and have had only one problem; needed to replace camshafts due to insufficient hardening of the lobe surface (1st 4000 units) which was done on warranty. I chose to upgrade the oil pump while they had it open to a higher capacity, which cooled the engine down nicely. It puzzles me why so many of the comments seem to disparage the H-D reliability and fit and finish. The materials, fit and finish are superb. That coming from this 78 year old 60+ years of riding many different bikes. Just sayin'. Really like your reviews, keep up the great work.
Thanks for your comments which we agree with. 👍🏼👍🏼 very interesting to hear
Excellent detailed review, probably your best made video too, very professional, enjoyed it . 👍
Thanks buddy! Much appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼
You guys deserve a lot more than 20K. Very good reviews and great video footage. 👍
Thanks Graham! It’s going up all the time thankfully 👍🏼👍🏼
The kick stand is actually quite good. It locks in place and won’t collapse regardless of if the bike rolls forward or not. Other then that, stellar review. Thanks!
Thanks bro. The sidestand makes the heart skip a beat every single time!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan,
It does. I agree
@@MrDarcy-OlMan in the shop we are able to easily push the touring bikes backwards and never worry about the side stand. Once your used to it deploying it becomes easy. The new softail sidestands suck. Everybody at the shop is always concerned if it’s engaged properly or not.
@@markowsley4954 I think because I run a new Softail and have dropped it while it’s on its stand a few times, the touring ones seem aweful because they move so much when deployed.
As always, thank you for another perfect vid!
Thanks buddy! That’s really nice of you to say 👍🏼👍🏼
Another great review, thanks!!
Thanks Dan 👍🏼👍🏼
Love the review. Awesome bike and well presented. Ride safe.
Thanks Andre! Much appreciated. Ditto
That’s an amazing motorcycle and a brilliant review as usual guys 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks buddy! 💯
Great video lads👍
Thanks buddy 👍🏼💯
Excellent detailed review guys
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
Another great one guys.
Thanks Andy!
thank you guys really good review just bought an ultra classic 2006 im stoked about riding
Awesome! Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the review guys. Great to hear the view from other side of the pond. I belong to a Norton Owners Club in Texas so I'm used to the British guys. lol . This convinced me to part with my 2009 Street Glide and get this bike. I rode one last week and I agree with your opinions. THANKS.
Thanks buddy! Thats awesome 👍🏼
I always enjoy your reviews. Miss living in UK, imagine a lot has changed since the early 80’s. Great people, loved the country roads. Although a bit narrow by Texas standards. Thank you
Thanks buddy! We’ve pretty much lost ‘old England’ everything is mowed to oblivion, everything modernised, developed, expanded and very little nature (were in the top 10 of most nature depleted countries in the world!), and traffic has increased 10 fold.
Looking badass as always ol man 👌
Thanks buddy 👊🏼
The Batwing vent open is to reduce buffeting on the helmet as it moves the air over it, when you close the vent you will experience more. The latest models have removed the ability to open and close it as its not needed closed....
Well done guys. Thank you.
Thanks bro!
Just what I want! Thanks for the great review. I'm 6'3" riding a Dyna Wide Glide now, had a Goldwing for 112,000 miles. Always felt like a chicken riding on a June bug! Going to test drive one this week.
The Ultra is a really nice ride!
Not really my kind of bike, but great video. You guys always do a good job. Glad I found your videos.
Thanks Joe. Yes it’s horses for courses but always nice to know about different bikes anyway 👍🏼
Great video!
Thank you very much 👍🏼👍🏼
Good review, (as usual)
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
Good honest review guys, I ride a MY16 UL (last of the rock n roll harleys) It's like a horse that never stops, I do serious long haul trips up to 5000km out and back at a time across Australia, I have found it to be comfy, rock solid on the road one up or two up, i'm in my 60's my wife and I prefer touring on it to a car, It's our keeper bike, it's built well, it will out last me but also keeps us exploring 😉. Cheers guys love your content👍⭐
Love your vids I thought it was zz top beard blowing in the wind very entertaining thanks
Thanks buddy! Yes the beard just shows how flippin windy it always is 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video guys! As a 55yr old Ex-Pat in the US, I miss the lovely English countryside. I ride a 2015 HD Breakout 103 here . Can't wait to get back there with it and tour the country roads! I love the Indian Motorcycles too and am looking to get a Roadmaster. How about doing a side by side comparison with the Harley Ultra and Roadmaster? Food for thought. Keep up the good work! Drone footage was cool!
Thanks buddy! Side by sides are really hard to arrange (it’s hard enough getting one bike at a time lol!)
Good review! When I’m ready to replace mine will be getting another.
Thanks bro! 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Mark from New Jersey USA here.. You guys do a great job! I’m looking to get back into riding... I’m actually considering this or the Road King.. I used to own a Road King Classic years ago.. I miss it .. .
Thanks buddy! We reviewed the Road King Special a year or two back. You may find it on our videos tab 👍🏼👍🏼
Man I love ur guys reviews. U are like the Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond of motorcycles.
Thanks very much indeed 👍🏼👍🏼
I had a 107 until recently. I got over 200 miles to a tank. I agree two up is no problem. I am 6' and used to get some uncomfortable buffering at 70mph and over or if the wind was up. I liked being able to look over screen and mostly wore open face helmet. Cruise control great and I used the headset for music and phone which were great. Miss the old girl but needs must. Nice review.
Thanks buddy. Interesting points indeed 👍🏼👍🏼
Oooh great drone footage that's new.
Nice bike but a bit too heavy and a lot too expensive.
Another good review. Cheers.
Thanks buddy. Yes we wanted to see what the drone would look like 👍🏼
I bought a brand new, 2020 Ultra Limited in the Scorched Orange and Gunmetal Gray paint option. It also has the black out option. It came with a set of Rhinehart all black mufflers. This bike has every option available, including traction control, Sirius XM radio, and tge Boom Audio amp and Stage II speakers, just o name a few. I absolutely love this bike. It's very powerful, easy to handle, and looks absolutely great. I avoid going to the Harley Davidson dealerships because I find something else that I must have. Now, I am looking to add a Pan American to my collection. I may have to part with my 2011 KLR650 if I do. Don't know if I will buy a new or used Pan American, but most likely, it will be new because I haven't come across any used ones for sale yet.
I have a 2019 Ultra Limited.... great motorcycle!
Awesome 👍🏼
I have a 2010 ultra limited love it
Awesome review 🥰
Thanks my friend 👊🏼
Best thing about the Ultra Limited is how it “dances.”
Leaning all that weight into a corner is not only effortless, it’s a joy to do. Same with the throttle, the shifting, everything. Sure, other bikes have more performance, but the experience of riding this Ultra Limited is delightful. There’s nothing like it out there. I’ve looked. I’ve bought. But I’ve come back to the best motorcycling experience there is.
I agree with all the side stands on these new softails. I am not an expert but I would leave my bike in the first gear all the time so it would stop bike from rolling. Great content guys.
Yes the stands are not good! Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
If I ever get a bagger it has to be the road king special 😎
Nice vid by the way! 👌
Indeed! Thanks bud
COOL VIDEO!!!🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼
I've a 2018 which I absolutely love perfect for the kind of riding I like to do which is long all day trips extremely comfortable bikes Ultras are!!
Yes they are very good indeed! 👍🏼💯
I bought a 2010 Ultra Classic in Saudi whilst working there. Over 6 yrs rode 70,000 kms around the Middle East then freighted it back home to Cheshire May 2016.
Once registered (which took ages) done just over 20,000 miles before being knocked off it (now scrapped).
The 96” had limitations on the motorway but, touring A & B roads, it was brilliant. I do fancy another of the Limited range. The 114” may be OTT for what I want a motorcycle for so thinking 107” or even another 103” Twin Cam.
Hopefully cash is still King and I can get a good deal.
Looking on Autotrader for example, there are loads of V-twins for sale with low mileage. Assuming not bought as a touring bike which is a pity considering the cost.
Fuel consumption at motorway speeds is terrible, warranty periods are pathetic and the need to buy a new tool kit for imperial fittings once bought is required.
Still, cruising country lanes with standards pipes and AC/DC through the speakers is sheer bliss.
A very well sorted bike ideally suited for two up touring.
Yes spot on buddy 👊🏼
Very nice review again, but after the Street Glide and now this I'd really like to know where you get your absurd range figures from? 296km with 22.7l would imply a fuel consumption of 7.67 l/100km! What are you people doing? Constant burnouts? Admittedly, mine is a 107, not a 114, but then I always end up with 5 l/100km, give or take half a litre. All of it two up.
And, while we are at it, there is a lot of idiocy to be found on Harley Davidson motorcycles, but the Touring side stands are the best I have ever seen in my live. You learn to use them properly exactly once and for the rest of your life they are absolutely worry-free.
Thanks very much.
As I said, we made an error on range figure on the Street Glide Special.
Otherwise, all figures are from Harley-Davidson’s website.
@Bernard Clark iii that’s very true
Nice job on this one. The drone work is a nice addition to the piece. Man, this thing is nice. For some reason you look better on this than the SG Special. More comfortable if you will. I think it might be the added structure of the top box, or maybe you are simply more at home on this bike. The overall fit and finish look to be superb. That said, it is more than I can/will pay for a motorcycle. Oh well, too bad for me! Great looking bike though.
Thanks Dennis. Yes it was really nice to ride and very comfortable. Look out for our Indian Springfield review next week!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Copy that. Looking forward to it. 👍
Hi guys, hope all is well, love the videos, Mark here from Nj in the USA.. I'm looking at this bike and the new icon Highway King in magenta... this one seems more suited for two up riding and I ride solo... no misses at the moment.. I had a road king classic years ago and miss it, as I had shared in an previous comment, admittedly I would like better comfort on the Highway than my road king tho. However that's not really where I had done most of my riding. The ultra is a heavy bike indeed, I'm wondering about your decision on the BMW vice perhaps something like the ultra. Did you ever consider the Ultra? .. if not, why not? .. curious.. I will soon test the ultra... I am 5'10" ... best wishes, be well !!
Blimey. I've just bought this very bike!
Awesome! 👍🏼👍🏼
Hello. Although a great video, and very informative concerning this bike, one thing I'd like to add. As some in your audience are hard of hearing, the low volume you have the mic set on makes it very, very hard to hear you. I did not see any "CC" available for the video. Myself, I'm waiting for the 2021 models to come out then will get me one of these. My dream bike, along with doing all of Route 66. Thanks again for the video, and for the good information. ScottishxPride, United States, Texas.
Thanks buddy! The mic issue is fixed now. We had terrible trouble all year with gale force winds when filming which resulted in some sections sounding muffled.
The Ultra is a great touring bike were sure you’ll love it 👍🏼
What a beast of a bike awesome 👍🏻
Yes it’s got it all! 👍🏼👍🏼
Have you guys considered a soundproof studio with a green screen lol. Seriously though, great, unbiased review.
Haha that would work. We’ve actually now got a new mic setup so from now on no problem! The Indian review we just filmed (uploading Monday) has the new audio
@@MrDarcy-OlMan please don’t take it seriously I was only joking, we can hear you fine. The only noise you’ve not had yet is a marching band go past lol. Good luck with the new mic!
@@motorbikerscosmeticcompany1594 It wouldn’t surprise us if it happened!
Beautiful ❤️🤩 Harley Davidson ❤️
Thank you!!
Great vid again could you do a vid on 750 street rod, thanks if you can
Thanks buddy. Perhaps, if we can get one
Great video. You're off on the range though, 37mpg x 6G =222 miles. I have this same bike and I'm easily getting over 200. Be safe everyone.
Could be that the UK and US gallon are different. 👍🏼 thanks buddy 👍🏼
Which is why the rest of the world uses liter’ s
I ride a 2017 ultra limited you are right on the money. Don't really see a bunch of changes enough to get a 2020. Can't wait to see what they come out with in 2021. 128 or 131 engine maybe?
Thanks Harry! Yes we get you. They last for ages anyway 👊🏼
Just picked up a 2020 ultra in sunburst orange in a blacked out option ridding season in just starting here in upstate Ny
Fantastic 👍🏼👍🏼
I put the 13" Ohlins on my 2018 Street Glide Special rear end. The 12" OEM shocks were inadequate for loading up and touring.
OK that’s good to know 👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan - However, as much as I love the Glide, I should've bought the ultra.
That's Goldwing money and i know which bike i'd have.
Yes true 👊🏼
I agree, would much prefer the Harley.
@@splodge5714 💯
@@splodge5714 😁
Ultra for sure
Don’t fancy those Harley baggers in any sort of way, but do enjoy your film clips... appreciate the fact that even though Harley’s are clearly your preference, you don’t mind having a go on a variety of bikes and approach all with enthusiasm...
Thanks buddy. We’re totally neutral bit yes do like Harleys, but also cruisers from other makes
I'm 6ft 6 and I own an Electra Glide Ultra Classic. Not this model but an older one (2008) but I think the HD hasn't changed much in frame dimensions. I can confirm the more crouched seating position. The soft seat is good for an hour or two after that you need to take a break. Buffets are terrible for me even with a higher wind shield than the stock one. But hey, that's Harley Davidson everything shakes and the sound is so amazing. My pet peeve with this bike is the lack of fairing that should protect your knees. In cold weather you definetley need knee protectors. I missed a comment about this in the review. I had an old Yamaha Venture before, I would call this bike more a tourer than the HD. At my size the Electra Glide is fun to ride, but after 2-3 hours you wish something else despite highway bars that can help the legs but not the butt. All in all a good review and I really like being commented by a tall guy. Thank you Sir.
Thanks for your input buddy! Very helpful 👍🏼👍🏼
Like you, I’m 6’6”. I ride a 2018 Road King standard. I bought it used from a dealer 100 miles from home and had them put on a Tall Boy seat before I picked it up. When I got home, my butt was sore! I was disappointed in the seat but didn’t want to spend big money on another. I purchased an Air Hawk seat cushion and problem solved. It’s a great product. I can ride for hours and never get a sore butt. For wind buffeting I did the following and suggest you look at them in this order. 1. Triple tree air deflector. 2. Windshield by Freedom Shield. Mine’s 3” higher than standard. 3. If 1 and 2 don’t solve your buffeting problem, look into fork air deflectors (fangs). They kick the air up and smoothly around your body. My concern with mine is how they might be affecting engine temperature because some of the air flow going around the engine is diverted, but doing all 3 steps certainly solved my wind buffeting problem.
Thanks for your input buddy! 💯👍🏼
@@roberthackbart7247 Thank you Robert for your input.
good review ,, heavy can mean steady and stable , if you want half your house with you , expect it to be a bit large to move about when parking,. bike makers do a good job of fitting it all in..harley have been around over 100 years so fix the b side stand now ::::: bought one of your t shirts _ forgot the size ,, came through small:: am 6_2 ,, never mind
Thanks Simon. Good points. Ahhh dont forget to choose the right size 👊🏼
good review as always next time see if you can do the review by the train tracks maybe a freight train will come by for you😫
Thanks buddy. Haha we did that with the Rocket 3 and it happened
I love engines which produce bigger torque figures than bhp. Not keen on the style of this. I like my bikes more stripped back. Excellent review, as ever.
Yes we do too. Thanks bro
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I can tell that!
Ace bike, Ace channel.
Thanks buddy ! 👍🏼👍🏼
Enjoyed the review, I am a fan of the Ultra Limited, maybe not the price...LOL! Note on the side stand that at the top it slides into a slot as the bike is leaned over reducing anxiety about dropping it.
Thanks buddy. We can’t get used to the sidestand!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Yeah a bit sloppy however I seem to remember being told you can literally drag the motorcycle down the street with the side stand engaged and it will not snap! Never tested that but having owned many baggers you get use to it moving some. Not dropped one to date...LOL! Thanks
@@yosam5184 We find it more disconcerting because the Softail stands are totally useless and we’ve dropped the Heritage Classic a few times when it’s been on its stand
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Well crap don't like hearing that, thanks for the conversation.
---
---Idk I never get on a bike from that side in case my leg hits something and the whole lot goes over.i always got on *into* the side stand. I saw you grab yr leg but I was a despatch rider and I reasoned stuff had to be safe all the time, hundreds of times!
The other possible misfortune is to drag yr heel across the tank - ouch, so that was a no-no
-- Re side stand. I always (lol) parked a bike in gear letting roll an inch also and be stopped by the gears, taking up transmission slack. That way the bike will not roll forward off the side stand..parking uphill is okay - I never parked a bike pointing downhill even if it mean grief to leave again....unless it rested on a kerb etc etc.
I got a load of top tips.lol I should write a book..
E.g. never chain yr helmet up on the bike close to the ground...dogs will piss on it..lol
Carry a flattened coke can for soft ground under the side stand.(or dig through a bin!)
Don't park near fast traffic - cars can suck the bike over.
Keep padlocks off the ground to make it hard for theives.
Don't sit on bike and fill up. Petrol splashed on yr balls is worse than aftershave!!! Plus fire hazard avoidance....both would be VERY nasty LOL.
... ...
Great channel.
Oh. The Harleys...
6 gears would irritate me. Shouldn't they have 5 ? 4 plus an overdrive....id probably pull away in second gear all the time. presumably one wouldn't have to slip the clutch excessively with that much torque?
Great points and tips! I’m cool with 6 gears but yes you don’t need to slip the clutch much with the torque!
Does the UK demand that you wear a helmet? In the US we call that rear box the "Trunk". Nice bikes! I'm a proud owner of a 2018 Heritage Softail, 114 ci M8 engine. It has snort to it!
Yes helmets are compulsory. We love the M8 Softails👍🏼Dont forget to subscribe if you haven’t already 👍🏼
@@lomate1963 Right on!
It's called a Tour Pak a trunk is for a car.
Have you ever driven an HD with the 117? I've heard he pushes a lot
Actually no, not yet
I confirm. The Screamin Eagle 117 pushes like a cheer
Taller riders a lot of times prefer the Roadglide limited to and ultra limited. The fixed fairing seems to give a little bit more room.
OK thanks bro. 👍🏼
You should talk about how terrible the day maker is riding at night three corners
Can you do the indian roadmaster?
If Indian would reply to us!
If ever there was a reason not to judge a book by its cover. I thought “damn that’s the most American dude ive ever se…” and then came the accent 🤣
Haha thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
I'm 5.8 mine is completely stock except for a few bolt ons and I have no problem controlling it but hey I my be the exception it is extremely heavy so if your not comfortable with all that weight I would suggest something else
I’m 5.6 and I’m fine. As far as the weight, people need need to man up. Get in the weight room. 😂😂😂
@@chuckg554 no joke I'm only 135 140 on a good day and if I'm not mistaken I think my bike is almost 900
Wow another Harley video first thing you do put good shocks on it second thing you do stage 1 stage 2 or stage 3 to make it go you do the math
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
I have a 2017 Deluxe and I think the standard suspension is pretty good. It absorbs the bumps very well standard but I'm sure you're right with certain HD models, but improved shocks on most models just makes the ride feel stiff and hard.
@@grahamtricker4103 tbh I thought it was perfectly fine stock
Frame or fork fairing? I can't decide.
Fork feels more natural, moving with the steering. Some say it has more trouble in high winds though
Which harley touring do you recommend for a person 6’4”?
This one would be fine actually. You can get a different seat to give you more space. Have a look at our recent CVO Limited review. That sets the record straight 👍🏼
Well i purchased a new to me ultra classic, put a lepera daddylong legs tall seat on and am happy with the fit, now
To plan a trip and put some miles on it, thanks for your reviews.
@@jimmin9802 Awesome! A tremendous bike and an incredible mile cruncher. 💯👍🏼
Jim min, I have owned both the Electra Glide and the Road King. The Road King fits taller people. Hope that helps.
Because the gearbox is clunky but works ok does that mean it’s ok because that’s what every Harleys gearbox is like?
its not the gears its the compensator making the noise
HD changed to 18 inch wheels this year. Is that a special reason to this?
The larger diameter is less twitchy turning in to a bend and rides bumps and potholes better. It could be that
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Great thanks.
It helps being a taller guy on that bike…. A lot
You should talk about how terrible the day maker is riding at night through corners
My God, 37 mpg is a very high consumption for a travel bike
Yes it’s not brilliant tbh
I got an ultra limited 2020 114. I got offen 50mpg, I ride with the traffic, 65mph and so.
It weighs 800 pounds,alot of creature comforts so the MPG is fair.....
Only American’s could name something Ultra Limited.......lol
Haha we didn’t think of it that way
Does it have apple carplay?
I think so, check the specs on Harley Davidson’s website 👍🏼
Yes it does. I have a 19 ultra and will never go back no matter how old I look.
@@Bill-ck3lo 💯💯👍🏼
Better than Honda goldwing?
You can be cool on a Harley or be a dork on a Gold Wing, You decide.
Not better just different.
@@sprintcar-acematt5175 Or cool on a Gold Wing or a dork on a Harley. We're talking about bikes, not the riders.
Too cumbersome might be ok for the America’s or Australia but too heavy
Thanks for your feedback bro 👊🏼
How can you compare it to the BMW r18 it's not a dresser
One of our subscribers wanted the comparison. You can compare two different things perfectly legitimately; like comparing curry to pizza; sometimes that’s the choice you want to make.
Disappointing review, I was really hoping to see the gym girl ! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 👍👍👍👍👍
Ahh sorry. With Covid19 we’re not taking any chances 👊🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Can't she wear protection? ;-)
I'd rather get a goldwing.
If you don't mind looking like a dork, hop right on that Honda.
Understandable for certain reasons, but overall, I'd rather have the Ultra Limited.
@@sboy1955 the BMW K1600b is faster than the wing and cheaper
But you are riding on the wrong side of the road!!! 🤣🤓😎🇺🇸
Haha we’re rebels 👍🏼👍🏼
Ol’Man looks like a 40 year old in 60 year old disguise.
37k bike still no 100 horsepower..
It’s all about the torque
it seems like harley,in an act of desperation is grasping at all straws to stay afloat.one option they may want to explore is what mercedes benz has perfected.raise the price of your product by 25k across the board.& make harley owners an exclusive group of rich snobs.as mercedes has proved,quality can go to hell because their drowning in money.if someone is dumb enough to buy a 30k motorcycle.their also dumb enough to buy a 55k motorcycle.a big plus is you get to look down on everybody smarter than you.
Not sure we agree with you there bud.
I had never ridden or owned a Harley in my life. I have been riding Gen 1 and 2 Hayabusa's for the last 21 years. For $12K usd, you could own a 200mph bike, a superb machine. How could Harley ask $30-50K for a bike!! Guess I am a rich snob since I just bought a Vivid Black 2021 Ultra Limited. Life is a monthly payment and for the cost this bike is awesome, check out RDRS, absolutely gorgeous in person. The bike looks like a work of art. Branding those who bought these bikes as snobs is funny. Save your penny's and pick up a used one in a year or two. Good luck.
Well done. Did you see our Ultra Limited review?
@@funhumanusa Tell me how a Hayabusa feels after a 1000 mile trip (unless you just ride locally) A Harley is made to ride not just bar hop or riding only an hour away..........All sorts of backgrounds ride Harleys!
Never owned an HD but every RUclips channel indicates they are crap and break down alot. Fuck em, not for this 68 year old American. My KLR gets me into and out of the mountains without mechanical problems. Oh yeah, it's quiet so I see lots animals on my trips.
We’ve never had any problems with our Harleys. 👍🏼
“Never owned a HD” pretty much discounts any opinion of them you might have 😂
