  • 38,000 miles later
    By  (I am an Owner) on Dec 20, 2012

    I purchased my Ultra in March of 09, after riding a Sportser 04 for 16,000 miles than a 06 Classic Super Glide for 36,000 miles. I could not wait to get the all new 09. My friends bought theirs earlier and did rave about it so I took the plunge and I am so glad I did it is so superior to the 06 ...

    having no trouble with anything those Black Hills could throw at me. I've change tires once and keep up with the maintance. One great Bike and should have no problem with the next 38,000 miles.

  • Outstanding Ride
    By  (I am an Owner) on Feb 03, 2010

    I purchased my 2009 Ultra Classic over a year ago and it is a unbelieveable road bike and handles better than any Ultra I have owned previously. In my opinion your motorcycle is only as good as your dealer and that is why I do business at Knoxville Harley Davidson on Lovell Road. The service department ...

  • What a bike.....
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jan 13, 2010

    I bought my first Harley last summer and put 9000 miles on it in one season. I have been riding bike for 30 years and never have I been addicted. I considered buying a Wing but the sewing machine engine didn't do anything for me.

    I live in the North so I had to put it away for the winter ...

    She loves it so much we bought her a starter bike to learn how to ride. I am so proud of her.

    I am an engineer and Harley Davidson can be proud of this bike. The fit, form, function, handling and overall quality of this exceptional. I am planning some long rides this summer and I can't wait.

    By  (I am an Owner) on Dec 02, 2009

    Wife and I purchased the Ultra Classic in June of 09. We chose not to have ABS but went for security with siren. Besides adding some eye candy chrome and the oil cooler - we left it pretty stock for break-in. This is my 5th HD and I have to say I was impressed. Like all my past Harleys, the price ...

  • awesome
    By  (I am an Owner) on Aug 09, 2009

    I have been riding for over 30 years, and am on my third H-D, after two hondas and a Suzuki. The first was an 01 lowrider, the second an 05 Electra Glide classic, and the latest an 09 Ultra. The improvements from the 05 to the 09 are amazing. My 09 handles like it has power steering at slow speed ...

    To Tim and the other reviewer who talked about vibrations, i suggest changing the pipes and a stage one kit for the air cleaner. I had this done before taking my Ultra home and havent had any complaints from my wife or myself, even after 740 miles in two days. We purchased our Ultra Oct. 28 of 08 and now have over 8000 miles on it and look forward to many more.

    By  (I am an Owner) on Jul 25, 2009

    I sold my 2007 Electra Glide classic and bought the redesigned 2009 Ultra. I was happy before but can tell you the 09 is about 20% smoother. I wish it had a reverse and got better gas mileage! Really needs a reverse!

    I've been riding a 2007 Softail Deuce for over a year now. I decided to keep the Deuce to run around town and to the beach, however long trips kill my rear.

    I just purchased a 2009 Ultra Classic and after getting used to the weight, it can't be beat. Just got back from a 750 mile trip this ...

    I sold my Willie G wide glide and just purchased a 09 Ultra Classic. I had reservations, the thought of owning a geezer glide creeped me out. I looked hard at the street glide and ultra for months and landed on the Ultra. The Ultra offer more for the dollar and I cn always get a quick release for ...

    Ride on.

    Bought an 09 ultra a few weeks ago and it pulls to the left. I have taken it in to two different shops and the techs say they feel it pull but it is within specs. Has anyone else had any problems with their ultra pulling?

    I picked up my 09 FLHTCU in November and have been riding it off and on through the Missouri winter. 3200 miles later this is the best touring bike I have had bar none. The modifications that were made really tightened up the suspension and rerouting the exhaust reduced the heat the passenger had ...

  • What a bike!
    By  (I am an Owner) on Apr 29, 2009

    I've returned to motorcycling after 35 years when I sold my Honda 550 Four. Once you get rolling you tend to forget just how heavy this bike really is. I handles almost as easily as the Buell Blast that I trained on in the MSF course. When I ride my wife on the back, once we get moving, I don't ...
