There are 2 kinds of people, one's that bought the Limited and ones that wish they had. I think the power increase is very noticeable between the 96 and 103. Ride both and see what you think.

it looks like I overlooked an important part of the first question. The Limited is definately worth the extra money over the Classic, but, I think the basic Ultra is the best buy of the three, Classic, Ultra, Limited.
Other than that, I'll stand by my earlier post, except to say, ABS is definately worth the money.

I totally agree, the chrome wheels were worth the extra money for me. Plus I have that bad *** 2 tone root beer color

Additionally to ABS is now a must. Also if you look at ebay or Craigs list you can get a near new limited for almost the cost of a Ultra if you have the patience to wait. I got a 2011 with 82 miles on it. The circumstances just played out perfect.

As you can see from my sig pic I ride a Ultra Classic and It was available when I got mine i would have gotten it. Not for the Motor upgrade but for all the other items. I would have to put on the other chrome that is missing on the limited though, saddle bag rails and the bumpers.

Just traded a 2010 Ultra Classic 96" for a 2011 Limited.
If you are doing it just for the power, it is not worth it.
BUT all of the other things added, it is worth the price and more - to me..
They both are great looking bikes, you won't go wrong either way.
