Just got my copy and saw that it tied for first. Put a smile on my face.

Did you really need that Rag to tell you the Ultra was #1? Come on folks, what are you riding? And why? Nuff said!

That's usually what it comes down to.

For example, take a look at the 4WheelParts magazine. They are all up in Toyota's tailpipe and Toyota advertises heavily in the mag. As a result, Nissan information (product reviews, tutorials, etc.) are rarely, if ever, in the magazine.

Auto/motorcycle magazine editors are w.h.o.r.e.s. and I have no faith in their product shoot outs - even when the results favor my product choice.

If you read the reviews closely.... "the Harley wallows and drags it's side stand in left turns and it's fork dives under heavy braking"
"The Victory styling is what kept it from winning easily"
I'm not sure why the GoldWing was left out other then it might have run the tables and really pissed off advertisers.
The Motor Company will sell cycles because of their "history" not because they whip the pants off the others with the lastest technology.

Default Gold Wing

Last time I checked Gold Wing wasn't a V Twin

Bottom line is HD makes a good product. If you happen to like another brand then buy it and ride it. Be glad we have many choices on the market.
