Harley-davidson Road Glide Ultra
The Harley-davidson Road Glide Ultra has a top speed of 185 km/h, produces 93 hp and weighs 389 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
De Road Glide Ultra werd in 2011 door Harley-Davidson geïntroduceerd als een premium touringmodel binnen de Road Glide-serie, dat zich onderscheidt door de op het frame gemonteerde Shark-Nose-kuip die kopstoten bij hoge snelheden vermindert. Het is gebouwd rond de Twin-Cooled Milwaukee-Eight 114-motor (geïntroduceerd in 2017) en beschikt over een volledige reeks toervoorzieningen, waaronder een grote kuip, dubbele armsteunen voor passagiers en een infotainmentsysteem. Het valt vooral op bij langeafstandstoeriders vanwege zijn stabiele rijeigenschappen, omdat de vaste kuip geen invloed heeft op de stuurinput.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Strong Resale Value
The Road Glide Ultra consistently holds 70-80% of its value after 3 years, outperforming most touring competitors. Its loyal fanbase and brand prestige make it one of the safer big-ticket motorcycle investments.
Watch the Cam Chain
Milwaukee-Eight engines (2017+) improved greatly over the older Twin Cam, but pre-2017 models are known for cam chain tensioner wear that can become costly if ignored. Always request service records and ask specifically about cam tensioner replacement.
Shark Nose Fairing Advantage
Unlike the Road King or Street Glide, the Road Glide Ultra's frame-mounted fairing reduces head shake at highway speeds and dramatically cuts wind fatigue on long rides. It also houses a premium Boom! Box infotainment system with superior acoustics.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"The best American touring bike if you respect its weight."
$14,000-$24,000 usedThe Road Glide Ultra is genuinely impressive touring iron when it's running right, and that's the catch. These bikes carry real weight — pushing 900 pounds wet — so if you're not comfortable with that reality before you buy, walk away now. The frame-mounted fairing is the real differentiator here; it doesn't shake your eyeballs out at highway speeds like the fork-mounted touring bikes, and the infotainment system on 2015+ models is surprisingly usable once you stop fighting it. Buy one from 2017 onward if you can stretch the budget. The Milwaukee-Eight engine addressed most of the Milwaukee-Eight predecessor's heat-soaking complaints, and the suspension finally got serious attention. Pre-2017 Twin Cam examples are cheaper but come with well-documented compensator and primary chain tensioner issues — budget $800-1,200 for that work unless you enjoy surprises. Always check service records, inspect the frame for tip-over damage near the right lower fairing, and listen carefully at idle for primary rattle.
