To expect to be perfect is unreasonable, to strive for perfection is reasonable.

I also saw on the HD website the Ultra Classic Low and Ultra Limited Low. Maybe HD finally realized that the Ultra was a bit too tall for us riders 5'10" and shorter.

I got a chance to throw a leg over some of the 2015 HD bikes this past weekend when I was picking our bike up from the dealership in Sedalia, Missouri after the incident with the battery going bad. (New rule of thumb for me....change battery every 36 - 40 months!) The Ultra Classic Limited Low is very nice and actually has a seat height lower than the Street Glide which felt very comfortable to me. Both the Road Glide and the Street Glide look great, but when I look at the price tags, my Mertle is still looking good with only 24,000 miles on her. If you can believe it, my wife wants to look at the 2015 Street Glide CVO when one hits the floor at the dealership....only around $40,000 with a tour pack.

I took out a 2015 ultra Rushmore edition about a month or so ago, not impressed in the least. My 2000 ultra is still low mileage. DEERSLAYER

If you keep the battery on a tender during the week they tend to last longer... Not necessary if you ride it daily. I usually get a few years out of one. Sounds like your wife might upgrade you... She's a keeper

She's a keeper Yep, RK, I keep Mertle on a tender while she is parked in the garage. It was 50 months since we purchased our bike new, so I guess you could say we probably got the most out of that battery. I really didn't know the battery life expectancy was 3-4 years, but I learned the hard way stranded on the highway. Guess I thought Mertle would kind of let me know that the battery was starting to go bad. Live and learn!
