6k on my ultra classic. No issues with the bike and No regrets. This is my first big touring Harley so I have nothing to compare, but I love the bike.

 

Agreed on both counts, don't see the need to have a first gear you can almost make 25mph with and the same goes for reverse. I suppose it might be a liability issue because there's plenty of people dumb enough to misuse such a thing but it sure would make it easier getting in/out of parking spots or even the garage for that matter, I would love to be able to back in.

 

I have owned 12 New Harley's in my lifetime, 8 that were touring models. Kind of nuts I know. I purchased the 14 Limited when they first came out last year. All it took was a couple of test rides and I was sold. Traded in a 2007 CVO Ultra for my 14 Limited in Daytona Blue. As one of the early owners I had the leak issue; once the revised filler neck came out my leak issue went away. This is by far the best Harley I have ever owned, It has and does everything I have ever wished for. Do I regret buying? Not at all!!! I am finally totally satisfied, hope to keep this bike until I can no longer ride. I will fail before the bike ever does.

If I were you I would wait until the 15's come out, just to be sure. Then choose between a new 15 or 14. You would have more to gain than loose.

Good luck

 

No,he's good most are 13'6" lol

 

Traded a 2007 sporty for a 2014 Streetglide. I have to say it's the best bike I have ever owned and I have had bikes for over 30 years

 

I have no regrets whatsoever. I have had three Ultra's and this is the best of the three with my '11 having been the worst. Love my FLHTK!!

 

But they measure from the center screw, right? That's more than a foot and a half from the ground...

I wonder if he uses an escort with a pole.

Where does he mount the OS banner?

 

Really, who is going to admit the regret of buying $27K motorcycle?

 

Went from an '85flht to a '14ultra--after almost 3K miles no real issues--don't like the interface on the infotainment system but will get used to it I suppose--great power and I like the tall first gear--maybe needs a seat backrest----
Other then buying an occasional tshirt hadn't been in a dealer for 30yrs(at least)---more change there then on the bikes!

 

I went from a paid for 2010 Brilliant Silver Streetglide with chrome agitator wheels to a $7000 trade difference 2014 Daytona Blue Streetglide.

Cons: Fairing vent does little to prevent buffeting...Stock radio will not recognize "playlists" on my flashdrive...Airwing luggage rack led light from 2010 will not plug into 2014 wiring harness...Lots of complements on 2010 Silver bike with chrome wheels (good thing)

Pros: Awesome Daytona Blue Pearl color...Bigger 103 high output motor...Saddle bags much easier to open...Radio is a big improvement and matches other dash lights at night and is upgradeable to larger 6.5gt...Larger front wheel rim size...Most accessories will swap over (e.i. both driver and passenger backrests, slip-ons, airwing luggage rack)


Bottom line: I am extremely happy with the new bike. It's not perfect but it's pretty good for me.
