Sweet ride. I went from a 95 ultra to an 09 and the difference was awesome. But when I bought my 12 limited, I knew this was the right choice. Good luck top you and the wife as you ridE

Traded my 02 RK with 46K on it for an 09 Ultra, never looked back, what a difference. The wife and I loved it so much we put 20K on it the first 12 months we owned it. Enjoy, they made some great improvements starting in 09.

I rented an '10 Ultra when I had my cams done. Handled better then my '05 RK. I was amazed.

Back in March I traded my '07 RK Custom for my '11 SG (usually with King Tour-Pak loaded up). I love them both. I think I just feel more comfortable leaning on the SG. Not sure if the ride is any different. The only regret is caused by the increased payments.

My 10 UC Limited is heads and shoulders above the ride quality of either my 2000 RK Classic or my 2004 UC. There is a lot of reasons why...the new stiffer frame, the new tires and tire widths, the new motor and mounting system, the new Brembo braking systems. I replaced the worthless rear air shocks with Ohlins a while back. That brought up the ride quality a few more notches. Enjoy your new bike.

Congrats on the new ride - definitely a huge improvement w/the newer frame + engineering/design. Many miles of smiles to you & your wife!
