I have a 09 Ultra. Prior to this bike I owned a 05 HD Deluxe and prior to that many different bikes. The ultra is the best bike I have owned for touring and for two up. Things I like are: ( not neccessarily in order)
Storage, cruise, front and rear speakers, multiple inputs for music, weather band for checking weather on the road, coverage from elements while riding, (fairing upper and lower) stability and ride, adjustable air shocks, ABS Brakes ( I'll never ride without them again) My wife loves the rear seating arrangement, 6 gallon tank is nice as well. The new bikes have plenty of power and a 6 speed tranny and the new rear tire looks great in place of the old thinner one. Fits the larger bike better IMO. Thease are the main things I like.
Dislikes:
Runs too hot in stock form, but mods can remedy this to acceptable form, Too high for me, I am 5'9". I have not made any changes yet, but with two on it is at is limit. Single riding I am OK. If you are less than 6 foot it iks likely going to need mods to make comfy. Passenger floor boars run over your legs while stopping or slow take offs. This just takes getting used to, but still annoying, Speaker system OK but poor. I replaced front speakers, better but still could be better, I do not use the intercom but all who do say they are all but throw away, (just the head sets, not the system)
Over all I have no regrets. See my sig! Any bike you have will need some things to better your fit. I no doubt recommend this bike, especially for two up cruising. Most of all ride safe!
