This is an interesting question. TheUltra ClassicElectric Glide comes closest to my needs. Big touringmotorcycle. Thenew 96 cubic engine mated to thenew 6 speed transmission is a great combination and makes up with the lack of oomph from the previous engine. This is not my opinion, this is the observation made by a co-worker that purchased an Ultra about 3 years ago and had the Stage 1 kit installed before it left the show room floor. The other Harley I would like to own would be an 8 valve board track racer from the 1920s.

I wouldn’t ride aHarleybecause with 31 degrees of maximum lean angle, I’d probably wipe out in the first curve. However, I would pick the Road Glide. It’s the only one with a frame mountedfairing. Those tacky little handle bar mounted fairings on their other bikes will try to take away your handle bars on a windy day.

Are wetalkingFactory or Custom? If it’s custom then this Turbo V-Rod built by Chopperworks, Brisbane, Aus would be my choice! I’d paint ita “Darker” colour though, maybe a Blue / Black? Sick machine though and plenty of hp for those of us that believe more is always better!! . Have a look! http://www.vrod.com.au/

Newharleys are nothing more than a reproduction of an antique. they are crap next to a modern bike. I would want the real thing. Give me a 1920s or 30’s knuckleheadand I would be very happy.

The “ULTRA” is top of the line for touring and comfort, from it’s air suspension, cruise control, 6 speed,integrated cd,am fm stereo, weather channels, cb and intercom system, to it’s add on gps system, touring pak and saddle bags etc it’s like riding a couch down the highway at 80 mph while getting 50+ MPG.

The one to own would be the one that suits you best.
The different models have different frames, styles and features.
The thing to do is find which one fits your style (either riding or fashion) and then order a bike that would be built on the CVO line.
Pick all the little bits that make it “best” for you and let them put it together at the factory.

1985 Harley Davidson FXSB LowRider. Their were only 693 of these bikes made.
The all aluminum 750 track bike they made it is the most sort after HD ever made it is bringing 1,000000+ @ auctions.
The 2009 CVO Ultra, is perhaps the best bike Harley’s made yet. New frame, big motor and all the toys, you can hang on it.
