Upgrade - 07 Ultra to 10 Ultra Limited
I know I am crazy, but 2 months I have had this 07 Ultra (bought used in Septebmer) and it spent most of it in the dealer for various different repairs. (leaky seals, stator, electrical issues etc...) I eventually lost my lust for it and traded it for an 2010 Limited this week. Holy cow what a different bike!
The power is a bit more, not a lot, but it is nicer to have. Don't expect your arms to get any straighter when you crack the throttle hard, but I noticed mostly the motor able to ride better when in the low RPM of a gear. Overall it seems to make the ride smoother. Also, the vibration from the motor is much less. Not sure what they did there but it is much less.
The balance of the bike and the whole bike feels much lighter and more nimble. It is like riding my Dyna in turns now, just handles incredibly better. I thought the suspension was much better too. Though I know it is just as heavy as the 07, it doesn't feel that way. I suppose that is because of the wider tire.
Looking forward to a trip, just have to figure out where and when I am going to go.

Congrats to you,
2010 has no more power, just lower gearing,the overall weight is a little less while riding because you are missing about 12 grand out of your wallet!!
I'm kidding.... Enjoy your new ride, they almost had me convinced to do the very same thing for a limited.

I had the same problem with the justification of moving from my 07 EG Classic to the FLHTK. That pretty much disappeared after the first few miles, when the heated grips warmed-up!
