That is the question I keep asking myself. I've said for years, if only. If only the moco would make a road glide with the ultra accoutrements that would be a winner and I'd be a buyer. But heck I love my 07 cuse and really do not want to part with it. Plus I've added so very much to it that I'd lose my azz if I sold it. But why do I need two touring bikes? I dunno. But I sure do like the new 'ruse.'
Here's how I answered that question for myself.
1. Harley has finally done what I tried to do with my 2007 FLTR - plus a ton more goodies that I could have swallowed adding on my own.
2. I am a big man (6'4" @398lbs) and the FLTR fits me, much more so than the Ultra Classics or any other motorcycle for that matter.
3. I put 35k miles on my 2007 in 3 years - I ride!
4. For some dumbass reason I let my warranty expire without an extension
5. My title on my 2007 FLTR is clear
6. I really, really, really wanted one!!!
So on July 31, 2010 I purchased my FLTRUSE.
