My first HD was a 58 FLH...a Duo-Glide...I've rode nothing but touring models since I started riding Harley's in 1975.

Definitely no regrets with this one. The average ride for me and my group is 200-300 miles in a day. Now when we are done for the day I'm no longer so exhausted all i want to do is immediately go to bed. Also it feels alot more stable in the corrners than the Dyna before it. All that 114 power is awesome too. Won't need to worry about trading for at least 15 years or better. Hulk here will be ran till there is no more run left in him.

Not my first bike, but my first touring. Started out on a Sportster 883 to a Suzuki SV1000S, back to a Honda VTX, tried out a Buell 1125R until parts became rare, then over to a Softail Night Train. Now I’m on a 19 RK. Dealer made me an offer on a new one I couldn’t turn down.

My first H-D Touring bike, my last bike was a Softail Deuce. I picked up the Street Glide in April.

Just bought a 2011 Harley Road Glide Ultra. Coming from a 1981 Honda CB900 that I rode for 16 years (handed down from my dad who bought new).

Had all metrics up until two weeks ago. A few Honda Shadows and most recently had a 2008 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad with a fairing, hard bags, and trunk. I had it to the point of being really comfortable but.....

Just picked up a 2014 Ultra Limited a week and a half ago. Already have some comfort parts on the way and have thoughts/plans of doing bars and a different seat for ultimate comfort.

Long time bike rider, first time HD purchase. About a month ago I picked up a 2010 FLSTN in black. Put 1,000 miles on in a month. The old lady and I did a 38 mile ride from our home dealer to another in Appleton. As she is stage IV MBC, her back was killing her on the tiny softtail seat. So within 20 minutes of arrival, and no options at the parts counter, we rode home on a 2013 Electra Ultra Classic. I LOVE this bike. I've put 200 miles on in the past 3 out of 5 rideable days and I CAN'T wait to start modding it.

Hard to believe it's been over 40 years of riding and this is the first Harley. So far love it.

One of those Iron Butt riders, so the plan is to put some serious miles on it.

The KTM 1290 is behind the new 2020 Road Glide Special.
