I don't want to buy it quite yet. The warranty will just be clicking off and I'll be paying insurance on a bike I can't ride until spring. I'll probably make the deal in Jan/Feb with the understanding that I actually pick it up around March/Apr, depending on the weather.

I assume you're asking me, the OP. I'm 54 yrs old. I've owned sportbikes before I got the Ultra. Loved riding my ZX6R. The Ultra was WAY more comfortable, but it just isn't as much fun for me. As I said, the Ultra is a GREAT bike. Fit and finish are second to none. All day comfort. Loved the tunes. But all in all, just not for me.

Never have understood the attraction of a bagger. Oh, I get the cruise and tunes and all that but they are just, well, butt ugly. But then...that's just me.

Been riding since 64, probably rode more different Harleys than most folks
I got on a Bagger back in the 70's. Was the best ride I ever had. It was a 64 Panhead Duo Glide
