Default 2012 Limited is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

Just saying. I LOOOOOVE this bike. Out of every motorcycle I have ever owned, I have never enjoyed one like this Ultra Limited. The 103 pulls like a truck and it is amazing to be able to pack things, lock it up, and walk away without worry. I have had it a little over 2 weeks, am closing in on 1500 miles, and I still smile every time I get on it. Amazing machine that makes me regret ever buying a V-Rod, Springer, Fatboy, Two Sporties, and building a Sucker Punch Sally.....those were all a waste of time and money because this is what bikes are about!

Congrats on the new bike. Have enjoyed mine for 8000 miles. Finally did the stage 1 to get rid of the right side heat.

I'll agree that it's a nice bike and I've enjoyed just under 20,000 miles on mine in its first year.

But I can't agree that all other bikes are a waste and the Limited is "what bikes are about".

I'm lucky to have two bikes, the Limited and a Softail Duece. If I had to get rid of one or the other for some reason, I'd keep the Duece.

That Blue/Black paint combo looks nice on the Ltd. Hope the Black/Silver combo looks as good.

I couldn’t agree with you more. Got mine last Feb. 02/26/11 and have 13,245 miles on it and still smiling. The best thing is my smoking hot wife loves to ride as much as I do.

I have to agree. A sporty is not a limited. I have both and love both for their individual differences. My 2010 limited is with out a doubt a sweet ride, but I also like being able to take out the sporty on short runs. I know how you feel, but really, IMO there are many different bikes that all are awesome but serve us in many different ways. I hope that makes sense. Ride safe and often.
