Yes. I put the air wing on it that was on my prev bike.

Weather band is standard. Pretty sure it's standard on all the bikes with audio. 6.5 and 4.3. Was standard on the prev gen Harmon kardon system.

I've got 18k on my 2010, Traded with 45k. No comparison in ride or handling. Went from Detroit to Washington DC for Rolling Thunder, mostly hiway going and all back roads coming home. Weather in the 70 and 80s.
Bike ran smoothly and with little heat running expressway or back road speeds. Handling is extraordinary, that was 2 up and fully loaded. Even better when I ride alone.
Gps worked great. I used fastest route going and scenic coming home. I was happy with all the routes it picked.
We got between 42 and 46 mpg on the trip, which I think is great for a full sized touring bike fully loaded. My 1500 Gold Wing never got better than 36 mpg.
I am totally happy with the Limited. No complaints.

I'm on a 2012 Ultra Classic and will be on a new 2014 or 15 before year's end. Can't wait-

Hi Ace,
Got my 14 last October but have only ridden it 5500 miles. I usually get 12,000 per year. I am right on with the 14 models. Your description is Totally right. I had an 09 Ultra, stock after having a 03 EG with 95ci and stage 2 upgrade. The 09 was week compared to it. Don't get me wrong, I truly loved my 09 but she went to a better place. Very thankful I didn't go with her. I then had a 11 Limited with stage1, rush mufflers and many other niceties. It still did not match this one. Don't get me wrong on this one either. It was OUTSTANDING as well. If people can afford one of these, YOU WILL NLT be dissatisfied.

Thanks much for the write up and all the contributing posts from both sides. From my prospective pros easily outdistance cons and virtually all the cons come from short term trials not longer duration ownership. When I bought my Classic in 09 I would have sprung for the limited which shortly thereafter came out but because of the timing I stayed with my 09. If it was offered when I bought I would have. Now years later it may be time to trade! For the features it certainly looks like it is worth the price. Lets ride.

I just traded my '11 RK stage2, 254e cams, dynoed, etc for a new wet ultra limited. Apples and oranges, but the 14 is a big step forward for HD. Couldn't agree more with the review. While I'm mapping a new tune for the 14, the gap I'm chasing isn't near as wide as it was with the 11 when I was starting out with around 65 ft/lbs of trq and close to the same Hp. Looks like they did listen to SOMEBODY when they built this series.
