| |  Which bagger?
My wife sold her Deluxe after she traded her Volvo S60R for a Camaro (6 sp manual, of course) and decided that given a choice, the car will win.
So, I am considering trading the Springer for a bagger.
Advice? Is the Limited worth the $$ over "just" an Ultra?
Advantages to Road Kings? |

If you trade for a bagger you just might really miss that Springer. Higher middle of gravity, not as light steering, several advantages though for 2 up. A few acquaintances that demo rode the well appointed Limited liked it other than the difference in performance from the 96 to the Ltd's 103 was not awe inspiring. |

Just curious, but what is the price difference between the Ultra and the Limited?

I think the price difference up here might be $3500 but I'll double check. A buddy just ordered one for spring, comes with the 103, heated handgrips, really nice gauges and special paint. There must be more but I can't think of it right now. |

It takes a loaded Ultra (ABS, security) then it also comes with chromed wheels, standard luggauge rack, 12v power point in trunk, and special paint is a nice calm 2 tone jobber. Its SO worth it! I wouldn't second guess getting it. I wish they had it in 2009 when I got mine!

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. |

I also have heard that the difference in price isn't justified based on performance. You are only gaining 7 cubic inches. A standard Ultra that is optioned out will run you a bit less and you may be happier in the long run. Is there a possibility you can arrange a test ride on each? Some of the options on the Limited are "nickel and dime " items that any handy person could install himself. The power point in the tour pack is readily available from a lot of sources, as an example. Ask specifically what you get for the extra money and then check the price on a fully optioned Ultra. Just my opinion. | | |
