2006 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

Thus far this product has performed extremely well!! Couldn't be more pleased w/ it. What was listed was what paid for! Totally satisfied!!

Excellent transaction and seller. The bike belonged to a retired VA State Trooper and was in better than new condition.
Low miles, all the extra chrome, stage one kit, recent service. Nothing wrong with the condition of the bike.
I love riding it. The only disapointment is finding out that
there is a design flaw in the twin cam 88 engine line. The
cam chain tensioners wear out, have to be inspected, and replaced. Inspection is 2 hours labor, gasket. Harley's fix is $800.00-$1000. If you keep the bike long enouph this repair has to be made. May buy the extended service plan which will cover this part of the engine for 5 years.

This is a great bike! It's January here and snow is on the ground so it's just sitting in my heated garage waiting for warmer weather. It makes me smile every time I go out there and look at it. I only got to ride it about 70 miles before the snow hit but that was an awesome 70 miles! I can't wait for spring.

This was a great deal on the 2006 Harley-Davidson. The motorcycle rides great and was in very good condition. The sale went great and the paperwork exchange was awesome and everyone held up to their end of the deal. Great motorcycle overall and the performance is awesome with great reliability also.

It is a nice bike handles good and ride great. The Road King blue really gives the bike cool look going well with all the chrome.

I traded my 2006 HD Softtail Deluxe for the 2009 Road King Classic. 2 Main reasons, I wanted to do more 2 up riding and I needed the bigger bike for comfort and ride on longer trips, and needed more room to pack stuff. 96 cu.in" motor is nice and needed- as the 88 is just not enough for the long road trips. 6 speed very nice - and love the real cruise control.
The 09 Road King really rides well and holds its line, even in windy conditions. The stock seat is comforable- surprisingly, but if you don't get a better seat for your passenger, you will lose her. I bought the Sundowner touring seat. Very comfortable for passenger and good support for the driver too.
I got the ABS on mine, as the only close calls I've had on bikes in the past were connected to locking up the rear wheel. I've never had to use the ABS yet. Its nice to know its there. BMW has been putting ABS standard on their bikes for a decade. Its about time HD finally got around to it.
I just did 2400 mile trip, and the HD Road KIng was very nice. If I had to do it again, I probably would go with the Street Glide, so I can LOCK the bags. AND the leather bags are subject to weather when on road trips. I got caught up in the looks when buying as the Road King has more Bling and the Street Glide -stock is very plain. The Street Glide also has a little different seating postion and handlebar position that I like better than the Road King.
One situation though on the trip bothered me. Getting caught in a Traffic jam due to a wreck. An AIR COOLED bike on a summer day in traffic. Not a good mix. Had to pull over and shut the bike down. Liquid cooled technology is out there for a reason.
I bought Harley becuase I wanted resale value, but I'm disappointed as when I tried to look into trading for a new Steet Glide, they have really come down in value and the new ones have gone up in cost. So, I'm not sure I would go Harley again, -mainly due to the 2 dealers I've tried to use. They act like they are doing you a favor - to sell you something and then work on it. One issue I have had is uneven front braking and ive had it back to the dealer twice and they said they fixed it and there isn't any difference. $20 K for a bike and they can't get the front brakes fixed and no one follows up. Poor service, poor attitudes. Not ALL HD dealers are like that. Find a good one and trade there even if its farther from your home. There is a good network of HD Dealers out there, so when you are on the road, its nice to know you can get something done... not too far away- compared to other brands.
I've also spent about $2800 in add ons, that I would prefer to buy- in a pkg - like a car, instead of FULL Retail after the sale when they will give you nothing for the stock set up that you won't use (grips, pegs, seat , exhaust, lights)
I'm thinking about BMW touring bikes now. Better engineering, better service, better bikes, but maybe worse resale value and not many dealers (compared to HD) Different seating position and higher center of gravity takes some getting used to on the BMW's.

Hello overall I am very satisfied with this purchase,however there were a few minor things that were not mentioned in the ad.But if I were to purchase another item from this seller I would they handled everthing very professionally.

JOHN WAS THE ULTIMATE EBAY SELLER. THE BIKE WAS SHIPPED WITH HIS TLC. CLEANEST 06 I HAVE EVER SEEN. THANK YOU JOHN

This is my first Harley, and it is just what I imagined it would be like. Loud and rumbly, with plenty of power.
