I had a 2012 Limited and visit Florida twice a year.I tried everything to make the 12 cooler while in Florida.Ceramic head pipe,open A/C,Screaming Eagle race Tuner and slip-ons.Why are all the stoplights 3 minutes long?I had 30,000 miles on the 12.I liked it but was really hot at idle in Florida.I saw a new 2014 Limited going down I-4 during Biketoberfest in 2013.I followed it to Sanford HD.Held My hand near upper cylinder of My 2102.Could hold it about 6 inches away.I could hold My hand within 2 inches on the 2014.I was sold and traded for a 2014 Limited when I returned home.I now have 32,000 miles on the 2014 and I have had no issues with heat.Much more comfortable than non water cooled.I have had no issues with coolant.Replaced coolant at 30,000.Runs great.I did have the clutch recalls and the brake line recall.I had no problems before or after the recalls.The Limited comes with chrome wheels and heated grips and 6.5 display and tour pak and saddlebag liners.I use the saddlebag liners all the time and the heated grips are great in the rain.Chrome wheels are easier to clean and look nicer than aluminum. I would never go back to an air cooled engine.
Of course,it is Your decision.

Probably to give all the blue hairs time to make their turns.

I love my Limited. I'll admit that the price tag had me skeptical at first, but I've never regretted buying it. I still like to hot rod around on my EVO, but for the far jaunts the Limited gets the nod.

The Limited,
How could you go wrong, runs cooler, rocks better and that is coming from someone who has 24 K on a 2015, have had absolutely no issues with this fine machine of extreme pleasure. Sure there are some quirks with the GPS, but it still works just fine for me and it has some great features as well, one of which I use often is, set it to, "Scenic Route" and let it guide you through some towns and landscape you wouldn't normally go to, it is definitely the smell the roses routes it puts you on.
Good luck with your decision, personally the wife and I love ours.

We went from an 02 Ultra with many mods to a 15 Limited low (Yes, I vertically challenged). I am very pleased with this bike. Have about 10k on it now. Went with the limited for many reasons, looks, safety, performance, comfort, CB.
One thing I did notice was how well it handles in high winds, tracks well. Couple things I would like to do is a set of rear shocks and some more power in the stereo.
For now, I am very pleased.
