I was looking closely at the 2014 Limited torque specs. vs 2014 Ultra torque specs. Was trying to determine how torque # was affected with water cooling on the Limited vs the regular air cooling on the Ultra.
This is what I found on the H-D website, under "specs" for each model.
Limited: 105.5 ft.lbs. torque @ 3750 RPM
Ultra: 104.7 ft. lbs. torque @ 3250 RPM
So the Limited has 0.8 ft.lbs of torque more than the Ultra. Then when you look at the RPM #, you gotta wonder about the water cooling and the cost of it for less the 1 ft.lbs. of torque increase.

Am I missing something??
Yes you are missing alot. The Limited has more features, hence more $$.
I'm with you on this OneUp.
I am not yet sold on the rinky dink cooling system, either.
I am just fine with the 'King, riding high, wide, and handsome.

Maybe I misunderstood your post originally. The Limited has more torque, higher compression than the Ultra.
