If you are not going to ride a lot then it does not really matter. I have a hard time for those that spend so much money and ride very little. I like my 02 Ultra I bought new a lot. Do to my heath I only have 92K on it. Mine does not set more then a day or two.

This... is goddam hillarious. cause it's true. But there is also that undeniable fact, that no matter how damn many black street glides there are, black street glides still look cool. But i dig my road king. Don't much care for fairings myself.

Asking which tourer is best is like asking which Ice Cream tastes best.

I have a 2010 Ultra limited and 2004 road king and I love them both, which is better is anyone's guess. It really is about what you like and want. Before I had the road king I had a sporty as my daily ride and that bike was mean and fast and I loved that bike to, but the distance between gas stations here in Mexico for the sporty was always an issue, now with the road there is no problem with distance ansd when aim back in Boston my limited which have been sinking money into is like Christmas time in July for me every year since I have had it. If your not much that into long trips a street glide could be the way to go, but the road king is a killer ride! The limited for me is my special bike and is used for my month long road trips in the summer and other vacation time back home. It is like riding a sofa that goes really fast with a really loud stereo. Good luck with your decision I hope you get what your looking for
