Default speculation on 2016 road glide ultra?

I know speculation is always a bit dumb, but looking at the RG possibly next fall. Do you thing the moco will offer the ultra again, or make their money off people piece-mealing together on their own to make an ultra and ultimately spend more money in the process?

All we can do is wait and see. I too would like to see the Ultra come back.

My local dealer owner says he is pretty sure they will have a Roadglide Ultra for '16.

I predict that they will make one, and that it will offer water cooling.

Also expect them to offer a twin cooled Street Glide Special

You can buy a Road Glide Ultra now.

Just have to spring for the CVO model.

$40,000 and you can have what ever color they give you...they may even throw in a t-shirt.

Really hoping for a mid-year release. Going to try and hold off! No desire to spend 40K on the CVO.....the cvo's imo opinion always end up with garish colors, although in the past few years i've really like the RG cvo color offerings.
