This is the rumor I have been hearing and it would be interesting. If they want to keep it a long distance tourer they will have to solve the small gas tank issue that they have with the V-Rod. It will take more than just dropping the V-Rod engine in the touring frame. I would be interested, although I am happy with my Ultra Limited.

I bought a 2010 Ultra Limited 2 years ago and I have been very happy with it. I like the lower center of gravity and low end torque for riding around town. The '09 and later models have a new frame which gives the passenger room that is comparable to the RSV. I also like the wide range of options that are available to personalize the bike. Still have to copy all those cassettes tapes to CDs though.

I am using a synthetic in my Ultra Limited, but when I needed to add oil in my previous '03 I found that they recommend a diesel rated dino oil. Hard to find in the right viscosity sometimes but its out there.

Graduated from college in "71 and bought a Yamaha RD-350 and have been riding ever since.

Took the opportunity to ride up to Antietam to meet a friend. The weather was great for this time of year. Lets hope this is one of those mild winters.

I have a 2010 Ultra Limited. Had an '03 Ultra Classic Anniversary Edition and '07 RSV.

Quite a few of the Harley guys I know and ride with started with other brands, in particular Yamahas. They play the role of Harley or nothing but when I had my '07 RSV they conceded that it was a good looking bike and had no trouble keeping up with them.

American La France will be jealous.

Gloves, helmet and long pants; all the time.

I have read a lot about the wobble and many Harley riders will add a stabilizing bracket that is supposed to eliminate the wobble. This issue was supposed to be resolved with the upgraded frame on the 09 models. I never experienced it on my '03 or on my current '10.

Yammer, Had mine out about 6 weeks ago and never felt better. I haven't had any problems with anything I eat. I guess everyone reacts a little differently. Maybe you should get an endoscopy just to make sure everything else is working as it should. Hope you feel better soon.

I went from an '07 RSV to a 2010 Ultra Classic Limited. Feel better balanced at low speed because of the lower center of gravity, came with ABS and heated grips. There is no shortage of after market parts to "make it your own" it has a great Harmon-Kardon sound system with built in CD player (but no tape deck). On the road they are both about equal in my opinion. The Harley pulls better around town because of the torque but as anyone here will remind you the RSV will accelerate longer and faster. I was happy with my RSV and I am happy with my Limited. Bottom line is ride what you like and like what you ride but most importantly, Ride!

I was riding with a friend of mine a couple years ago and I mentioned the headlight adjustment knob on my '07 RSV and he said "I wish I had one on my '02". Then he looked and found it......after having the bike for 5 years.... -
Will say a prayer for you and your doctors. Hoping for the best possible results.
