Road Glide Ultra to Ultra Limited
After 6 months and 5,000 miles of riding my 2015 Limited, I thought I'd just compare it the Road Glide Ultra I rode for 4 years before trading.
Looks: The Limited wins hands down. The new RG fairing is better than my 2011, but the batwing stills looks better
Power: The Hight Output 103 in the Limited is better than the 103 in the 2011 RGU. Not tons better, but better.
Ride: The Limited is more maneuverable at slow speeds almost stopped speeds, tight spaces, etc.... The Road Glide Ultra is in a class of it's own on the high way. I just rode about 400 miles, much of which was between 70-80mph. The Limited is good, but I found myself getting tired much more quickly than on the RGU and the wind definitely affected the Limited much more.
So, I got what I wanted. Always wanted a batwing, even when I bought the RGU. Only bought the RGU because it seemed like it gave me more room at the time. Now, both bikes a pretty comfortable to be on. If you just love the look of a batwing, you'll want the Limited. But if you're going to be on the highway a lot for long stretches, at least consider the RGU.
