Had a chance to ride a 2011 Road Glide Ultra yesterday. Cannot begin to describe the handling. I could not even feel the tour-pak on the back and the gas tank had a full 6 gallons in it but it could have been empty for all I could tell. The changes to the frame and swingarm coupled with a 180 rear tire, larger diameter front wheel and a bunch of other things I don't have on my 07 make the 2011 a bike that I can't outride. I always feel like I'm better than my 07 but not this 2011. I did not have even a single nanosecond where it felt like if I let it go down to far in a corner it would drop or slide. I love my 07 but have to say , if you're on the fence on buying a new bike and you're riding the old style frame swingarm set-up, you need to take a testride or borrow a friend's bike. There's just no comparison to these new models.
