Thing is if you think you want a Harley then thats what you should get. You will allways be wondering about it if you don't. I'd suggest you find a Harley dealer that rents bikes (alot do) and take the Ultra out for a day. Its a small price to pay to see if its what you want.

Dont worry about power at this point, nobody keeps their bike stock anyway.

RE: Ultra underpowered?
All I can say is that it depends on what your idea of what a motorcycle is. I was pumping gas once and watched a big Goldwing driving by. It looked to me like something from a sci-fi movie and sounded like it had an electric motor. Not my idea of a motorcycle.

Back in the the day I had a 1981 CB900C, If my memory is correct I think the CB900C had somewhere around 83HP & around 60TQ I don't beleive that was rear wheel Horespower ether. Now a bone stock Ultra Should have 59HP & 70TQ at the rear wheel. Granted the HD is going to out weigh the CB900 by at least 200lbs. But if you did a Stage one Kit with a good set of exhaust I think you would be happy with the performance. Then if you did the Big bore with a good set of cams, and head work the Ultra would smoke that old Honda CB900.
