Mine was sold on 8-13-11 so it's almost a year old. I'm the second owner. Bought it on 4-10-12 with 1159 miles on it. It goes in tomorrow for it's 10k service.

Bought a 2009 Ultra Classic one month ago. It is my first Harley after riding Kawasakis for the past 4 years. I am very impressed with my ride. It handles well and is comfortable. I heard and read all the Harley bashing on other sites and now that I own one I can say they don't know what they are talking about if they have never rode or owned one.

Default From 1972 FLH to 2012 FLHTCU

I have been riding a 1972 Electra Glide for over thirty years. This year my wife bought me a new 2012 Ultra Classic. (She is a very sweet lady!) I didn't see quite what I wanted in the linup so I went with the Ultra Classice and I am dressing it down a little. So far I put on the detachable tour pack kit, stock street glide seat, removed lower skirts and added HD 18" Anarchy wheels front and back. I have been smiling for two months and still going strong.

Bought my first Harley ever, after about a 20 year hiatus, 12 Superglide Custom, 12/23/11. My wife took an interest so traded it in for a 12 Ultra Classic this past April. 3500 miles now and just getting started!
