I'd choose a post-'86, pre-'92, carbureted Ultra. It would have to be a leftover with zero miles. Super dependable, cool-running, durable and easy to work on EVO motor, quiet 5 speed tranny, minimum of electronic engine crap, no TBW etc. White would be nice, but would consider any color.

Hey, this a fantasy bike. Might as well make it a good one!!

Ya'll ride safe,

John

Well since I've got a chopper and a SG, it would have to be a RG so I'd know how it feels to own an ugly bike

Actually the RG sux. Stay away from it.

Monk,
I've always thought the RG's looked like $#@& but, that is one fine looking machine you got there. Any ways, back to the question. I have the Ultra and love it, since the others are free, I'll take a SG and a RKC.

My brother in law has a Ultra with all the toys I own a Heritage witch I love and would ride anywhere. But if money was no object and all I was gonna do is tour the country I guess an Ultra would be my choice.

I have the Electra Glide Classic and make a 500 mile trip every other weekend. I like the storage and it cruises great. If I had the money I would have sprung for the Ultra and gotten the cruise control and the lower fairings.
