Default New 2011 Root Beer Ultra Limited

I just picked up my new 2011 Root Beer Ultra Limited this past weekend at Quaid Harley Davidson in Temecula, CA and all I can say is WOW!!! I've been riding a very nice 2004 screaming eagle electra glide and while I loved my '04 I can't get over the difference between it and the 2011 limited!! The improvements in the touring line that were made between '08 & '09 are quite impressive. I've test ridden a couple of '09's and '10 limited bikes but never really got enough saddle time to see and more importantly feel the differences. Where the '04 had a hard time tracking in the curves the '11 doesn't. Anyway, overall great bike and with almost 300 miles on it already I can't say enough.

Default Picking mine up tomorrow

Cool, I am glad you like it, I am getting a 2011 Limited in Vivid Black tomorrow morning, I'm sure it will be night and day compared to my 97 Wide Glide.

Default congrats on the new scoot

Hey that is one nice looking scoot. I really like that color, I tried to make a deal on an 2009 FLHX Root Beer was not able to make that happen. But I did see that limited RB in Sturgis this year.

Enjoy the new ride.

I agree...I just picked up my 2011 RGU and the older bikes just don't compare. Can't wait to get my stage 1 one done so I can truly feel the pulling power of the 103".

Nice color choice, even better bike choice (not that I am biased or anything). I think the Limited is a great value for everything you get.

Delicious looking Root Beer float for sure!

Take a picture in the sunshine though. That stock paint is amazing in the sun!

I have the '09 FLHRC in the same color. When it is in the sunshine, it is nothing less than beautiful!! I had the bike six months before I ever noticed the pinstriping on the front fenders...just goes to show I spend lots of time in the saddle!! Enjoy, and again, nice choice of color!!

I sold my 09 Red Hot Sunglo Street Glide and bought a 09 Root Beer Ultra with 600 miles on the clock ,, I wanted a catless bike,,, I installed a set of HD Fatshotz on the Ultra sound Great (the Fatshotz's are made for touring bikes with cats in the head pipe so when you put them on a Catless 09 they have a LOW DEEP sound little less sound than the Jackpots I had on my Street Glide just a lower tone) Next will be a Air/Cleaner and TTS Mastertune by www.Flyingwperformance.com That's it then I plan to ride the Damm thing till I'm to old to ride,,, I have a set of SE 255's that I was going to put in the Street Glide but changed my mine,,,I never Ride fast anyway so no need,,

Hope you enjoy your Root Beer as much as I do mine,,Ride Safe

Congrats on the new scoot - beautiful color choice. You used to ride the bike that I dreamed of owning for a long time - the '04 Screamin' Eagle Glide. That was until I saw the '09 SE Ultra in Orange and Black! Maybe some day I'll find one with hardly any miles on it for a really good price...

Enjoy the new ride!
