I have had many Harley's, including touring models. One of these was a 2004 Road Glide that I added a detachable tour pack to. When they came out with the 2017 Road Glide Ultra with the new water-cooled heads and redesigned single cam engine I thought seriously about trading my GTL in on a used one. But when I test rode it, after riding my GTL for a year, the Harley just didn't do it for me any more. Everything I used to love about Harleys, the classic nostalgic look, the vigration, the low end torque, the sound, etc... all just turned me off this time. The bike felt old to me, and heavy. I felt like I was going back 50 years with all the exposed metal frame, the shake, the sound, all of it. Like I said, these are things that appealed to me before owning a GTL. Now I guess I'm spoiled by light weight, great handling, awesome power, and all the modern technology. I can't see myself going back to H-D any time soon, unless this new product line they are planning for 2020 pans out. I want a water cooled engine so my legs aren't baking, I wan't instant power on demand, great handling in the canyons, etc... The only thing I miss about the Harleys I had was the comfort. So I traded the GTL in on a K1600B Grand America to solve most of the comfort issues. No regrets after doing a 7-1/2 day 2800 mile trip a couple weeks ago.
