This is our first Ultra. We bought it in September and love it more every time we take it out. The handling is great; just look and off she goes locked to the road all the way. I wouldn't have believed a bike this heavy could be so easy to ride. Buy one, they're fun.

09 EG Classic with zero complaints. Love it. I have owned four baggers prior to this one and this is my favorite. Gonna keep her around for quite a while.

I've owned Honda, Kawasaki, and now Harley. This is the finest bike I have ever been on. I needed a few adjustments like floorboard extensions, mirror extensions, and I need to lower it a little, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat! This bike handles like a dream.

I LOVE THIS BIKE!!
Mike

Count me in with you two...Love mine so much !.

I'm still grinning like if I rode it yesterday. However, The last time I rode was last November and it's in hibernating mode. Winter sucks !.

If we have to explain...You wouldn't understand...Just go and get one then you'd understand what we're trying to explain.

Bought mine in Sept & have a little over 5K miles on it. A great riding machine, been grinning a lot since I bought this one. Traded an 04 UC for it & what a difference. Just buy & you will love it.
