Dissapointed is all I can say

By A. Arnold(Owner), Jun. 11, 2009

While this is a beautiful ride, it's been in the dealers shop more nights than it's been in my garage.

With a few exceptions, very weekend ride has ended with me calling the dealer to come pick the bike up for, and I kid you not, the same recuring issue. The bike pukes oil out the air cleaner so... bad that covers the entire right side of the bike and has forced my wife and I to cut short most of our weekend rides in the mountains surrounding Reno, NV.

The bike is in the shop for the fourth time for the same problem and so far non of the fixes the dealer has performed have worked. With just over 2,000 miles on it and four trips to the shop to fix this problem, all I can say is that my 15 year wait and my investment in a 25 thousand dollar bike has got me to re-thinking just why I wanted a Harley bagger in the first place. My old Goldwing carried my ass for over 55,000 miles and never ever spent a day in the shop except for necessary tune-ups and oil changes.

Fourth time could be a charm but I won't bet the farm on it.

The best yet

By Jim McMeekin(Owner), Dec. 18, 2010

Having owned several bikes, a mixture of sport & tourer I find this bike probably the best yet.

I attended the Euro festival in St Tropez in May 2010, taking the ferry from Hull to Zebrugge, then riding straight down to St Tropez. Unfortunately France had it's worst weather for 40 years at this... time of year. Heavy rain and snow, meant slow travelling and frequent stops. I was getting concerned that the electrics on the bike would soon give in to the terrible weather conditions, however there was no such problem, tempratures dropped to 1' and the rain/sleet was bitterly cold. Even when the bike was left out overnight in these conditions it would start first time in the morning and run all day without a hiccup. The ride back was a lot better NO RAIN and some sunshine. This gave me the chance to really test the bike. Keeping at a steady 70mph I would get well in excess of 300 mile to the tank, however taking the speed up to 85/90 mph it dropped quite significantly. The handling at all speeds was effortless and confident. Having road pegs fitted gave a multitude of ride positions which meant longer hours actually riding and not stretching aching limbs. I can't say enough about this bike, other than, I won't be selling it and I will be going to St Tropez in 2011. Read Full Review

Lucky find

By Rick(Owner), Oct. 24, 2011

I found a used 08 Ultra with only 2413 miles on it for only $15,500. Blue book was about 19k. I now have 7500 miles on this bike and have to keep pinching myself that this bike is so nice and still like brand new. It has a few chrome extras as well. Nice handling for such a big bike. This thing... corners way better than the Yamaha 1100 I was riding with a much more comfortable ride. Read Full Review

Great Bike, questionable customer service

By Kory Thompson(Owner), Aug. 3, 2010

Originally bought an 06 Standard, liked it but didn't love it. Traded for my 08 Classic in July of 09. Had 12k miles on it and it was a rental bike, sold as new. Paid the 2400 smackers for the extended warranty, just in case, but so far, the 2 problems I had with it weren't covered! One, an... elec problem where the cruise would go on and off at it's own will was a short in the wiring. Still charged me $50 to fix it. I've found that unless you pay Harley their ridiculous prices for their "preferred" customer package, your pretty much like dirt under foot. Unless you bought your bike at the dealer you go for service, your pretty much dirt under foot, and unless you have a HUGE bank account to buy all their overpriced accessories, your pretty much dirt under foot. No, actually terribly disappointed in Harley DAvidson, not so much in the bike. Got 26k on it now after a year, and when it is time to trade, I definately will NOT get another Harley. I'd prefer to work with folks who are honest with me and Harley Davidson hasn't been on several different occasions. Read Full Review
