OK, now go to the Honda forum and ask the same question when they're done tally up all the votes and there's your answer. Simple ain't it. Bet it takes you a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time to order at the drive thru window.

It looks like a lot of us, myself included, are just responding to the responses and could care less about the OP question!! And, the answer for him is obvious..................."if you have to ask"...............................


Remember the 60's ad..."You meet the nicest people on a Honda!" And then they would show a picture of the little Honda 50 step thru, usually white or red in color...............Dad Gum what a motorcycle!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Default response to ultra or goldwing

Thanks for all the response's. I plan on keeping the ultra. Bought in september covered it up for winter at the end of november with 3000 miles on it. I waned a full tourer for long distandce riding. I plan on doing a stage one and adding a oil cooler. Im not loyal to any brand. Just looking for reliability comfort looks and some passing power

And made in USA

You are welcome dude, good luck with the Harley. I think you will like it better and better the more you ride it. Plus if you ever decide to sell or upgrade, it will be worth more than the Honda. I have one question, How fast do you like to pass? I have an 08 UC, I weigh 210 and my wife..I won't say, but I know she's back there..lol, I don't have a problem passing.

sorry, but this raises my crap detectors....

You're going to hate the Ultra. Especially if you bought it for power! So PM me, and I'll take it off your hands. You can add $5-6K and get yourself a new Wing Ding!
