You guys that have a 2010 ultra classic how do you like them?
Wife and I are thinking about trading our 2001 classic in on one
but if we do we gonna lose around 3 grand on all the engine work
I had done that im not happy with. We could prob make it better
with around 500 more but im so tired of sinkin money in it. Im just
wondering how the 2010s are doing. Thanks.

You are going to be getting a bigger motor and a six speed tranny.... that alone would justify the change for me.
Plus you will be getting all the goodies on an UC.
Find a dealer that will give you the best deal......you will be glad you bought the 2010.

I test rode a 2010 Ultra Limited a few week ago. Very nice bike. The new chassis is a winner! You'll like it.

I think the best machines are the '02-'05 Ultras. I'm keeping mine! Change the cam plate, add some nice cams & a big bore and ride.

They have made some improvements since 2001. Bigger motor, 6 speed tranny, sturdier frame, rear cylinder shut down and optional ABS just to name a few.

My 05 ultra was a great bike, but this 2010 has it beat in many ways! You will know as soon as you ride one.

Currently own a '09 Ultra. Absolutely very pleased with my baby. I'm pretty sure you'll like the 2010 after hearing all the positive comments coming in. In order to make up your mind..Go out, test drive one and let the rest of us know then.

Good Luck,

Thorey
