With many around the world feeling a financial pinch of late, it came as a bit of a surprise to learn that Harley-Davidson's best-selling bike is the $21K Electra Glide Ultra Classic luxury-tourer, despite it being the most expensive model outside the Custom Vehicle Operations line. This shows that there are still many well-heeled touring types who want a high level of luxury from their loaded baggers.
The MoCo has responded to this demand with the new Electra Glide Ultra Limited, an upgraded model for 2010 that approaches CVO levels of opulence and finish details. Its centerpiece is a larger motor, a 103-inch Twin Cam formerly part of the CVO line that for 2010 is now exclusive to this model. CVOs currently receive the TC110 Screamin' Eagle engine. Harley says to expect a 10% bump in torque compared to the TC96. An oil cooler helps shed additional heat from the more powerful mill.
Prepare to be coddled. The existing Ultra Classic Electra Glide was already nicely equipped with luxuries like cruise control, an 80-watt Harman/Kardon audio system (with CD, MP3, CB, intercom), adjustable wind deflectors and vented fairing lowers. Along with all those accoutrements, the new Limited adds a bevy of standard equipment. Heated grips with six power levels extend the riding season, Brembo triple-disc anti-lock brakes provide safety, and a self-arming security system thwarts thieves.

I think the limited is the better bang for your buck. I don't like the CVO Ultra because the lack of fender trim makes it look cheap.

I bought a 2009 Ultra last year, and am seriously kicking myself in the ass for the timing. I would have gladly bought a Limited had it been offered.
An extra $3-4k for heated grips, chrome wheels instead of brushed, and the black/red paint scheme I badly wanted(that they dropped), and more...done.

I hate when that happens. You still got one outstanding machine in which to drown your sorrows.

I purchased one in September 09 after they first came out. Traded my Super Glide. I have 5500 miles and I love it!!! Too bad I was unable to ride for a month. Just had a recall that is on all 09-10 touring bikes. Had that taken care of.
Course I had to have dealer do stage 1 download, air cleaner, and pipes. Now it sounds like a Harley!:lol8

It's an extra $5K.
You get the 103 engine, chromed wheels, ABS, Lower fairings, integrated deflectors in the batwing fairing, heated grips, tourpack rack and an 80-watt 4-speaker Harmon/Kardon stereo system, complete with CD/MP3, CB and intercom functionality.
This would be the bike I'd buy.
The only issue I have is it only comes in 2 color selections and it's a bi-color choice, and both aren't desirable to me. I just want a plain, black bike.

Not quite accurate. the radio is standard in the UC as is the deflectors in the fairing and the lowers. ABS is an option. The only truly unique items standard are the rank, grips, oil cooler and the 103. In fact with the exception of the paint scheme everything else can be added except the ABS unless ordered originally.

According to the review it comes in five colors.
The Ultra Limited is available in five two-tone color options, including this White Ice Pearl/Black Ice Pearl, a "Custom Color" that adds $1200 to the MSRP.
Just for FYI, I agree though that an all black would have been nice!

Obama did not spend a trilion dollars in a war with cherry picked intel. That is not a proper subject for a wonderful site such as this, your choice to disregard FACTS lets others see you may not be such a good rider also. Take your political rants elsewhere, enjoy your ride WHILE YOU HAVE ONE, your insurance may go up soon anyway.

The 103in motor in the Limited comes with the same heads and cams as the 09/10 96in motors...you are gaining nothing in the engine but 7 cubes and full catalist head pipes...
