Buying 2011 FLHTCU ??????????

Any reasons I should not get this bike? Have 03 Standard since new with no problems. I like the ABS on the 2011. Just making sure I'm not going to be sorry!

There are many reasons not to get a new bike.....all of them are of course invalid.

After giving your question serious thought I can't think of a single reason not to buy that 2011.

Did I post this?

I just traded my '03 Classic for a 2011 Ultra. do it and you wont regret it. Bike is so much fun to ride. Huge improvement on handling. Keep in mind that ABS in not standard on Ultra. 2000 miles in under a month just local on weekends.

If you want ABS why not go for the Limited?

I bought an Ultra Classic two months ago, and the only thing I might have done differently is getting a Limited for the larger engine. Now engine mods are in my future, but I haven't driven one to know for sure how much the difference between the two is. I may have had to change the cam on the Limited anyway.

Other than that, no regrets.
