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??

 

I think the reason for the twin cooling might be for rider comfort. Their are many posts on here about the large engines cooking their nuts.

 

Yes you are missing alot. The Limited has more features, hence more $$.

 

And that has what to do with 1 lousy ft/lb of torque?

 

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.

 

Yes, rider and passenger comfort are the big thing, not performance.

 

His post was confusing to me. I get that the Limited has more torque but then I thought he was asking why more money for the Limited.

 

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

 

A new feature now available on the 2014 Limited:
When you ride it into your garage, it wets on the floor like a Cocker Spaniel.

 

OMG!! that has to be the absolute funniest thing I've ever heard!! Did you think of that yourself or did you read that somewhere??
