Ultra comes with front and rear bumpers on the fenders, limited has a cleaner looking fender. CB and headset should come with both.

Chrome accent wheels on the Limited, polished aluminum on the Ultra.

Ultra is a better looking bike in my opinion, Paint and chrome.

Don't care for the heated grips. And even the 103 isn't a big deal since its standard issue now. But the layout of the 2 tone paint scheme, chrome wheels, security and ABS was what won me over. I love my "new to me" Limited.

I'd like to have the chrome rims but that's about it. I prefer the Ultra.

comparing apples to apples, if you look at the price difference between the ultra w/abs and security to the limited (abs and sec standard) the price difference is $1205. seems to me that you get quite a bit of bang for your 1200 bucks with the limited.

now of course if you don't want/care for abs and security, then the price differential increases, but you are getting even less bike for your money then.
