EVO FUEL INJECTION BABY YEA!!!

I've wanted an Ultra as long as I can remember seeing one for the first time. The T was a nice bike and I've allready noticed better handling for The T vs the Ultra. As far as horsepower though I don't think the T has any more power than the Ultra, On low end yea the Harley would get smoked by the T but It's a tourer it doesn't need to go that fast. My honest opinion of the T as I've had with it is it's an around the town cruiser with a big pair of saddlebags on it so they call it a cruiser. Don't get me wrong....It's a gorgeous bike and It's a great riding good powered machine. but when you put 800 lbs on a bike (this includes both riders and cargo) thats where the Harleys Shine better than the jap bikes. Harley bikes are torque bikes and jap bikes are speed bikes. Now I've no comparison really to a VTX or other jap bikes because i've had no real riding expirience on them but from those who have I've gotten my feedback. but anyway back to the original point The T is good for around town and maybe 100-200 mile trips but not overnights and week long trips when you have to carry everything with you IE clean and dirty clothes and helmets and the niceties that make a guy or gal feel human. The Ultra on the other hand has Plenty of storage space and good places to put other stuff on IE racks on a tour pack and larger saddlebag rails a RADIO a CB Fairing Real Cruise control all the trinkets. It's more to my liking and my use in a bike. Ultimately would have been nice to have both but I cannot do it.
