Money always seems to be the issue. I could wait a while longer to buy the Ltd. At this point, I'm not to keen on the color choices. PErhaps next years models will have some choices I like.

Right now, if I were to buy, I'd be tempted to go with a standard Ultra and build it up.

THanks for the replies.

I think you're headed in the right direction.

Ya, I think the limited colors suck.
Get a nice shiny Ultra and dew some motor mods!

If you really want the 103 motor go for the limited but if it doesn't really mater to you the 96 with a stage one kit on it is very sweet and will save you some $$$

You've got a Rocket III. Do you really think you're going to be happy with a 96"?

Get the Limited.

IMHO The Ultra Limited is Harley Marketing at its finest. The colors don't do much for me. The electric grips are nice where I live. The oil cooler isn't needed unless your pulling a trailer or SC. The 103 doesn't give you much over a 96 with a stage 1 upgrade. Unless you ride 2 up fully loaded a lot, the 96 is plenty for me. That $1400 will get you an AC, Rush slip ons and a PCV with AT.

I just went through this very dilemma, and went with the Limited. My choice was a little logic, and more emotion. White Ice / Black Ice was the color choice for me, and if I'd gone with the Ultra the ABS and security would have been add on's for me. So the price difference was not as big as comparing a Vivid Black to the Limited. I'm coming off a '99 TC88, so even the stock Ultra would have been a big step up. This is my first new bike, so once I commited to the $20K+ price of admission a couple extra grand was not the deciding factor. Bottom line, I really WANTED the Limited and I have had no "buyers remorse" since putting down my deposit down 2 weeks ago so I guess I'm OK with my choice. As others have said, picking out a bike is a personal experience - this was mine.
