Harley-davidson Ultra Limited Review

Used Buyer Review

The Ultra Limited is Harley's touring flagship done right, and buying used makes serious financial sense. These bikes depreciate hard off the lot, so letting someone else eat that loss is smart money. The infotainment system is genuinely good, heated seats and grips work brilliantly, and the Milwaukee-Eight 114 in post-2017 bikes transforms the riding experience over the older Twin Cam. It pulls hard, runs cooler, and vibrates less. Comfortable enough for 500-mile days without destroying your body. That said, go in with eyes open. Check the primary chain tensioner on pre-2017 models — it's a known headache. Inspect the fairing lowers for cracks because these bikes tip over in parking lots constantly. Electrical gremlins pop up on high-mileage examples, and the infotainment touchscreen gets temperamental with age. Budget for tires immediately — they're expensive and wear faster than you'd expect on a 900-pound machine. Get a pre-purchase inspection from an independent HD tech, not a dealer trying to sell you something.
