Seriously thinking about flipping my Ultra
Seriously thinking about flipping my Ultra
Lately I've had these fantasies in my head about trading in my 2010 Ultra on one of them new-fangled 103" 2011 Road King Classics. The Ultra is paid for, got about $1400 into it for the Fuel Moto setup including head pipe.
Always loved the look of the Road King Classic. Rented a 2009 a couple summers ago and loved the ride too.
My Mrs likes the secure feeling of the wrap-around tour-pak, I might catch some grief there, but she only goes on maybe 6 day rides and 2 overnighters per year with me on the Ultra.
Love my tunes and GPS, but dang - like the classic look of the classic.
Am I nuts?

Why not just take the tour pack off and the lowers, I know it's not a Road King but close. We both know you are going to take a big bath selling your Ultra and you will be taking money out of your pocket for the RK. My 2 cents is hold on to what you got, great bike with no payments and wait a few years for the next big change.
Good luck with either way you go.

To make sure that I'm not just acting on impulse, I always give myself at least 3 months to make decisions like this. If, after careful thought and research during those three months, I still want to do it, then I will. I find that most of the time the desire has worn off by then and I'm glad I didn't do it. Saved myself a lot of money that way.

Thoughts like yours are why I have a 2010 Street Glide and a 2006 Street Bob. Bagger for comfort and going miles. Hot rod for trips within a couple hundred mile radius from home and goofing off on.
Best of both worlds.
