After owning a Road king and 2 street Glides, I have to say my current ride is the best. I love the FLTRU Road Glide Ultra...............

I've never been too worried about getting anything "fixed" on the road.I had to travel 700 mi. round trip to buy my 1st Harley in 1973 so being tethered to a shop has never been a big deal.I expect it to be the same with the Vision,it's only a 400 mi. round trip to the shop.
As far as cost per mile comparison,let's see the Limited $25.6 k + $2k (in ac,exhaust,tuner,dyno tune) 80 hp/98 ft lbs, 40 mpg vs Vision $20.8k,84 hp/95 ft lbs 43 mpg ( I may fork over $700 for exhaust,ac,stage 1 down load which will put me up somewheres of 94 hp/106 ft. lbs) anyway you'll have to do the math on that one.No troll here I've been on the forum for 4 yrs. 6 Harleys 220,000 great miles,42 states.No newbie on the Vic forums either,come on over for a spirited debate.

I have a 2009 Street Glide and absolutely love it. But I can't help but be torn between that or a Road Glide.
