I never owned a Harley until this year. My wife wanted my Nomad triked so she could learn to ride and I used it as an opportunity to try a Harley. I bought my 2005 with a new (rebuilt) engine with only 20 miles on it this year (the original owner built the engine but didn't build the oil pump - bad move). It retained the Screaming Eagle 6 speed tranny. Compared to my Nomad it handles much better. Even though the weight is similar, the Ultra handles so much better. Power is about equal but my Ultra has the 6 speed and gas mileage is much better. Best handling and most comfortable bike I've ever ridden.

I purchased mine new and have not had a minute's trouble. It rides smooth and has enough power to carry two. I would recommend it for anyone that wants to ride in comfort, especially with the tunes!...

I have had my 05 Ultra since October 04 and love it. Previous bike was a BMW and I still miss that power so I just added a Stage 1 kit.

I have had my 05 Ultra since October 04 and love it. Previous bike was a BMW and I still miss that power so I just added a Stage 1 kit. It makes more noise but the performance increase is noticeable, particularly climbing mountains. It uses about a quart of oil every 2000 miles which is acceptable but previous bikes never used any. The fit, finish, handling, radio, intercom and CB are all unbeatable. Harley has done it right.

I have put about 1200 miles on this bike in a little over one month. My choice was between an Ultra and a Goldwing. Both are very nice bikes, but the Ultra road much smaller than the Wing in my opionion, and I wanted to use the bike around town. In addition, my wife said the Harley was much sexier, so I just ...

I have put about 1200 miles on this bike in a little over one month. My choice was between an Ultra and a Goldwing. Both are very nice bikes, but the Ultra road much smaller than the Wing in my opionion, and I wanted to use the bike around town. In addition, my wife said the Harley was much sexier, so I just had to buy the Ultra. It runs like a dream. The stock pipes have a lovely sound, just enough to sound like a Harley, but not so loud as to disturb the neighbors when I leave at 6am. The fit and finish are superb. I just had it in for its 1K checkup and it had not used a drop of oil. I use this bike for everyday commuting. The tour pack (the trunk) holds my briefcase and other stuff. The side compartments hold extra clothes and riding gear. That way I get lots of riding time on this wonderful machine. Ride Safe

Comfortable ride, smooth, great sound system. If your looking for a true touring bike this is it. Best of all it's a Harley Davidson. This bike is the Lincoln of motorcycles. I road a Gold Wing a little faster but does not ride as smooth over bumps....
