Harley-Davidson Touring

I haven't ridden a Rushmore edition so I can't comment on how much better the sound system is on it. However I have ridden Street Glides and Road Glides and prefer the Sena Bluetooth setup in my helmet coupled with the my iphone over a motorcycle equipped sound system. The Sena speakers are right next to your ears and you have a mic. With the Mapquest app on my iphone. I can plan a route on my computer and send it to my iphone. The Sena allows me to listen to music with excellent sound, use my GPS, make and receive phone calls and have a conversation with my passenger. It is incredible and to me makes the motorcycle equipped sound systems obsolete. (unless your objective is to make sure all around you are listening to your music as well). But then again, its like the worlds most interesting man's remark "I don't always listen to Lynard Skynard, but when I do, so do my neighbors"Just bought one of these. In fact the red color you see above. I owned a 2010 Limited and traded it in for this one. I ride about 30,000 miles a year and I can tell you, the difference in the two bikes is monumental. First and foremost is the heat. Here in Southern Cal, we ofter have 95/100 degree summer days... The heat off of my 2010 at times was unbearable...After riding the 2014 Limited in this heat, the difference of the heat hitting the rider is major...Yes, it is warm but not boiling...Big difference. The other thing is the brakes. Much better and the Bat Wing is markedly improved...The new sealed bearings in the steering neck are a big improvement also...No more mess from the grease gun..The one touch opening of the bags is really nice...The computer, which is about 100 times faster than previous models allows you to put slip on pipes without remapping. The computer makes all the adjustments for you...Truly amazing.. And the cam really makes a big difference in low end torque..I could go on about the entertainment center on the dash but I really didn't care about that...Technically this is a much improved motorcycle and certainly the most comfortable I have ever ridden...It is always beautifully styled and of course Harley's paint is impeccable. Durability is what I want to see. My 2010 gave me an array of problems, from tranny main bearing, to leaks everywhere, to swing arm bushings. The biggest problem on the 2010 was the throttle sensor..This has been corrected on the 2014 with a better housing to keep the heat from messing up the wires.. The Bat Wing is modular so it comes off in one piece instead of having to take it apart before getting to the handlebars.. Also, the LED lighting front and rear is bright and very visible. All in all, this bike is a major improvement over the previous Limited. In fact, its not even close. Welcome to the 21st Century Harley. I have ridden these bikes since the 80's...They have come a long way since then...I will keep you informed of how reliable this bike is along the way...The new system is very much like what you're using with your phone and Sena headset, except its all integral to the bike now. Next to the infotainment system is a compartment that has USB access already wired. It's got a foam base and a slot to hold your phone/ipod from rattling around. The headset that comes with the Ultras can be used for the same voice commands and music/advisory listening you are doing now. Haven't played with the nav much but you will be able to plan routes. It's a very comprehensive system.
