Default What is the correct model name of my Harley?

I've already apologized in the newbie section for asking dumb questions so let's start off with a good one.
I just bought a 1997 FLHTCUI this afternoon.
When my friends ask me what type of Harley it is I tell them it's an Electra-Glide Classic???
Is this correct or is it called something else?
I would like to know the correct name for my bike so the Harley guys don't think I as clueless as I really am about it.

Thanks.

You are not riding an Electra Glide Classic. You are riding an "Ultra"

So is it an "Electra-Glide Ultra" or just "Ultra"?
I thought I saw something "classic" written on the front fender?

Now to really screw with you Its an EVO which means it has an evolution engine and not the TC88 (twin cam 88) so it's a 1340 and not the 1450. Now you can impress all your friends with your Harley knowledge!

I bought the bike wholesale off the local Honda motorcycle dealership.
They called it 3 different names while I was picking it up.
The only Harley I have ever owned in the past was a 1985 1100 Sportster, I never kept myself educated on the other Harley models.

According to Harely's offical website it's called a Ultra Classic Electra Glide...so do you refer to it as an Electra Glide first or an Ultra Classic???

Ultra Classic. And the "I" stands for fuel injected.
