Many threads here about "My New Ultra".

RG Ultra? EG Ultra Classic? EG Ultra Limited?

Quit calling your bike an "Ultra". Which one is it? Granted the RG Ultra is gone this year but there are still two models with Ultra in their name.

Anybody else notice this?

 

08 Ultra Classic here. Am I calling it right? It say's so on the front Fender. Did the Moco screw up?

 

Love my Ultra.

 

+1. My ultra rocks!!!

 

Dam my Ultra is still at the factory.

 

I have an ultra and it's soft like a couch

 

Well it is a RoadGlide Ultra you could write HD and ask them to change the name.
RGU is not gone they are just working on a few more details with it for next year

 

Loving my Ultra

 

I'm sorry, a road glide isn't an ultra. It's a fugly. It may have all the ultra goodies, but it's still fugly.

 

It has kinda gotten a little funny with the names. I mean for forever and a day the word "Ultra" - to me - meant it was THE most top of the line bike in the touring line - one bike, the ultra, the elite pappy oh-hellz I gots money bike. Coveted and stuff ya know.

Now it's on a bunch of bikes and can get confusing when you just say Ultra and nothing else. I understand the reasoning of the addition of the RG "Ultra" (diff bike kinda) but now with the Classic or Limited... yeah strange-ish. Like saying I ride an Ultra but its just the poor Awesome version (Classic) or I ride an Ultra but its the Ultra-Awesome version! (Limited). And lets not forget the CVO Ultra Limited. Which is like saying, I ride an Ultra-Awesome-Big-Money-Ultra-I-paid-more-for-this-than-it-cost-to-put-a-kid-through-college-Ultra-cause-i-can-Ultra-yayyyyyyyy-for-me!-Ultra.

Over use of a term that means "Elite" or Special makes all of them not Special... or something. Whatever. Kinda reminds me of Chevy or whoever putting "SS" on everything. Man I have an SS. It's a cavalier SS! Awesome... not.

I dunno, there was only one Ultra man and he was awesome. Well for about 3 minutes and then he had to recharge. Just sayin
