My cousin bought a new HD Ultra Classic a month ago or so. 27 K or so. Barca lounger with all the bells and whistles, stereo, map screen and such. More buttons than a F16. I was prepared to like it, I like all kinds of stuff. Rode a few HD 1200 Sportsters and such. But, I really didn't care for it. Believe it or not, tooooo smooth. It was so smooth that the engine didn't feel powerful, and I know it is. I played with the stereo controls some, kinda fun. And the optional nut scratcher was kinda pleasant. But kinda a boring bike. All windshield and lowers and stuff. He had a big BMW that was kinda the same thing but much more fun to ride and the power was awesome! I guess the thing is, the bike's engine had no "presence". Just a device to carry lots of add on goodies. Not for me but he's happy with it.
