Harley-Davidson Touring

The Ultra for 06 is the last 5 speed 88 twin cam ultra. There was a lot of excitement over the 07 models with the 6 speed 96 inch twincam however they are slower and noiser than the 06. They have the same engine as the 88inch but it is stroked a little for the 96 inches.

The engine and drive train easily handled my 6'6" 280 carcas along with my lovely wifes vivacious body. The rpm range is much wider than that of my old 80" Evo, so there is less down shifting. It is well balanced and very stable. It's not like my 100 inch chopper but thats why I have 2 bikes.That bike isnt comfortable like the glide either. I use the glide on all my long trips and week long treks to places far and wide.

The FLHTCUI Ultra Classic Electra Glide is the ultimate touring motorcycle from Harley-Davidson, made even better for 2006 with the addition of a redesigned adjustable Tour-Pak with LED side lights

First of all, I didn't intend to buy this itme. But, the seller had the reserve set so low that I won the bid. Since I value my standing on eBay, I went ahead with the purchase.
To all of you who may be thinking of switching to a larger motorcycle, ride one first!!! Harley Davidson touring motorcycles are very heavy. I was used to BMW's....big difference.
There is no problem with the motorcycle, if this is your riding style.
