I'll admit right off I'm not a new HD owner yet. DON"T SHOOT! I've been riding on two wheels since I was 14 and been at it a long time. I've owned a lot of bikes over the years and have been doing my miles mostly on GW's since the 70's and currently a Venture.
Do to the fact the Star line has failed to keep up with the wants and the needs of their riders I am looking at making a change. I've been looking at, talking about and testing the Ultra. I believe this is the bike that I will be looking to buy this coming spring. But that said, I'm getting a mix of pros and cons about the Ultra and want to sort it out before I buy.
So I thought I'd lurk around here and ask my questions and see what the people that ride them have to say.
Welll welcome to the forum. I can't wait to see which Harley you decide on. But I'm convinced you'll be on a Harley come spring. Just be sure to take some good photos.
Welcome from the Show Me State...So Far Really Enjoying My 2009 Ultra. I come from a RoadKing, which was and still is one of the best looking and riding HD's.
Welcome from Oregon. This is a great place to get advice and reviews. I am on my third bike and 2nd Harley. There is nothing like the fit, finish and detail of a Harley.
