Good Day,
I am a new member that is interested in purchasing a new 2015 or 2016 Ultra LTD. I have been riding since 1973 and I have ridden most makes; both sport and touring. My last bike was a 2009 BMW R1200rt which I sold last week. My previous bike was a 2003 Goldwing.
I have never owned a Harley and for the last couple of years, I terms of bikes, purchasing a Harley is all I can think of.
I would be interested in your thoughts, suggestions and comments.
Wife & I spent 10 days in Italy on an R1200RT; awsome bike. We both currently ride Dynas. I've ridden a couple of Road Glides with the 120R motor; what that bike needs if you expect performance even remotely "BMW". I've had 2 GoldWings in the distant past; 4 cyl models.
I feel the HD's are simply the best choice for touring North America...what dealer are you near?
