Default 2014 and newer

So I have a chance to buy a 2012 ultra. at a good price. So I'm doing some research and stop at the local dealer today. Start talking with a sales guy and he tells me how great the 2014 and 15 bikes are compared to the earlier years.
Well call me skeptic with it coming from a sales guy hoping to get some honest thoughts on if the new bikes are that much better. Thank you for your thoughts.

Welcome to the Forum from the great Mid-west. To me, they're just marginally better, if that, than the previous models. They have their good points and bad. Try the "Search Function" here to look further about your question(s).

Welcome from NorCal. I agree, do your research. Go to the HD website & check out the newer models. You can find out just about anything you need on the web.

I guess you will have to compare them your self. I had 21000 miles on a 2010 Road King. Sold it in March just bought 2015 Road King more power, less dive when braking,better bars just fits me better.

ride one. decide for yourself.

A lot of guys that I ride with now and then get a bit jealous of the factory sound system on my 14 and the fact that I can get into my bags at stop lights (and while riding it may have happened now and again (tested to 85mph))
