I LIKE it. Gives ya a great view from the saddle of that throbbing, muscular, visceral V-twin under it..
visceral in a sentence:
You can get caught up in the visceral charge of its engine, sing along with its chunky tires and dream its romantic dreams and still feel the cold wind of it's history blowing through your hair.
Interesting strategy. Probably easier to sell Sportsters than Ultras right now.
What do you guys think of this approach?
To my surprise.. last month or so ago I read for last summer that the no. 1 selling harely was the Ultra...
Don't know about now during the winter months...
I found the article....
With many around the world feeling a financial pinch of late, it came as a bit of a surprise to learn that Harley-Davidson's best-selling bike is the $21K Electra Glide Ultra Classic luxury-tourer, despite it being the most expensive model outside the Custom Vehicle Operations line. This shows that there are still many well-heeled touring types who want a high level of luxury from their loaded baggers.
The MoCo has responded to this demand with the new Electra Glide Ultra Limited, an upgraded model for 2010 that approaches CVO levels of opulence and finish details. Its centerpiece is a larger motor, a 103-inch Twin Cam formerly part of the CVO line that for 2010 is now exclusive to this model. CVOs currently receive the TC110 Screamin' Eagle engine. Harley says to expect a 10% bump in torque compared to the TC96. An oil cooler helps shed additional heat from the more powerful mill.
