Time for a new motorcycle

[OnlyCrimson]

After 117,522 miles on my 2003 Harley Road King it's time to finally replace her. I'm leaning towards the new 2015 Harley Ultra Limited. Does anyone here know anything personally about them or have heard anything about them? I've researched all the material that Harley has released, looking for some first hand knowledge.

Haven't run across many Harley riders around here. Did you put all the miles on the Road King?

Love my low rider and in fact, me and my son took our first ride of the season today! Good luck with the new bike~

If I knew I wouldn't kill myself on a motorcycle, I would own one. But I have impulse control issues & I know I couldn't keep myself from doing something stupid on a motorcycle. It's the same reason I haven't drank alcohol in 9 years.

Post this in the water cooler for a lot more responses.

It had 12,000 miles on it when I bought it, so I've only put 115,000 + miles on her. She's a 2003 and I bought her in 2006.

Only 115000? Lol!

I average around 7000 per year. I don't take long trips anywhere.

Im notorious for getting on her and taking off for a few days. I've done several of the Iron Butt Saddle Sore type rides. I should register and do it correctly to get the certificates. I couldn't do a true Iron Butt on my RK because it's not comfortable when being pushed that hard. Thats the main reason my next Harley will be a loaded dresser. If Harley would release the new Road Glide in a Ultra, I would be buying one today. It's made in a CVO package but I'm not paying $45,000 (after fees and taxes) for a motorcycle.

there are so many around with no miles...seems you can get a damned near new road glide ultra harley for $15k or so.

Some old lady down here would run me over...must resist buying a bike.

I've ridden a lot in Florida (Daytona, PCB, Key West) and those old drivers, I call them Q-Tips, are nightmares for motorcyclists.

They just don't see someone on a motorcycle. They barely see the other drivers motoring in cars for cryin' out loud.

I couldn't talk myself into paying the $31,000+ out the door price for a new Ultra Limited, so I bought a mint 09 Ultra Classic with low miles for no where near that price.

Congratulations...open roads for you sir...

Exactly...especially a bike since they're usually babied and seldom used.
