I've started shopping for a new 2014 or 2015 ultra for Christmas this year. Santa (me) decided I've been damn good! I can't find a list of all the differences between the limited and the ultra anywhere? I will be getting ABS and 6.5 screen but no real need for heated grips in south Florida and not sure on water cooled. What other changes are there between the 2 models? does Harley (or anyone) put out a complete list anywhere?
Thanks!!

 

Go to the Harley website and select compare models and your questions will be answered.

 

If you can afford it, just get the Limited. As a former Ultra Classic owner, I will say I wish I did.

 

The twincooled motor has higher compression and makes better power right off the floor.

so factor than into your calculations

from Rider magazine:

"On Jett Tuning’s dyno, our 2014 Ultra Limited test bike belted out 95.0 lb-ft of torque at 3,700 rpm and 79.2 horsepower at 5,200 rpm at the rear wheel—11.5 percent and 16.3 percent higher, respectively, than the standard Twin Cam 103-equipped 2011 Road Glide Ultra (85.2 lb-ft of torque, 68.1 horsepower; Rider, September 2010"

Based on the compare models once I add security and upgrade infotainment the major difference is the Ultra Classic has "15.0" radio presets where the Limited has "15". The site tells me less about the difference of the 2 bikes than my granddaughter does and she's into ponies. Hell compare doesn't even list heated grips

 

No brainer if you can afford the Limited, get it. Also, Classic doesn't have guards like they used to. Same as Limited now.

 

Limited all the way

 

Security option $395 and Premium radio $795. Heated grips. The big difference is Twin Cooled. If you think you need it get it, but they've been building air cooled bikes for quite some time. Twin Cooled would neither make the deal or break the deal for me, but then I basically NEVER ride in traffic. Oh and the limited has the rack on the Tour Pack. ($129). Does the upgraded radio on the Ultra include CB ? (something else I'd never use)


What "guards" are people talking about ?

 

Oh...they're talking about the horizontal bag guards. Neither Limited or Ultra Standard come with those guards so it's a wash. I kinda like the way it cleans up the looks.

 

Maybe this will help?
