Default First Ultra

I'm ready to get a bike again. I want an Ultra. Sold my 08 Fat Boy. Sold my 09 Street glide. I put a lot of miles on my rides. 8k plus a year. So stoked to get a new Ultra. Should I get a new one? Or get one a year or 2 old with a 107 Milwaukee? Don't think I need the Limited. It's been almost 10 years. Any advice?

I have an 2017 ultra limited , absolutely love it! It I have the quick detach for the trunk and I run with it off most of the time. I personally would get a new one, I gives the new mods that they did in 2017 a few years to work on the bugs. And for the record, I have not had any issues with mine so far.

Test ride. We would love to spend your money for you. Ride any HD engine/bike you want then buy it. Most would agree I hope that the M8 has quite a bit more torque than previous models.

Before installing the stage I and little toys
I made the move this week pal. I traded my RK (sweet ride!) for an Ulta Limited Low 2018. I started my research shooting for an used 2017 with low miles but a dealer offered me a deal that I couldn’t resist for a brand new 2018 ($5,300 off MSRP). The bike is arriving today. The mission for this weekend is to break in the engine!
