presentation of the 1690 ELECTRA GLIDE ULTRA CLASSIC FLHTCUI 2012

the Electra Glide Ultra Classic returns to the Harley catalog after a short hiatus. A highly acclaimed touring model, the Electra can be chosen from well-equipped to very over-equipped, depending on the version. After benefiting from a new, much more efficient chassis in 2009, it is now joined by the big Twin Cam 103. A perfect road companion, whose 1690 cm3 engine distributes power and thrills throughout the journey.

the Ultra Classic bridges the gap between two models, offering the crew a little more than the Classic and a little less than the Limited. Compared to the FLHTC, the bike's main features include an extra antenna on the top-case, deflectors with removable leg ventilation, and a set of speakers for the passenger.
Big Batwing fairing, 25-liter hard saddlebags, Tour-Pak trunk, high-quality paintwork, Harman-Kardon audio system, Brembo brakes with ABS, nice rider seat and a king-size seat for the passenger, long running boards and large handlebars: everything is ready for great rides to the rhythm of the huge twin-cylinder. Backed by a 6-speed gearbox, the 103 delivers over 13 mkg of torque at 3,500 rpm and its inimitable handling.

when you're riding this Touring, it's de rigueur to scroll through the landscape in cruiser mode, with all the bliss that comes with it. Comfortable seating, business-class protection, senatorial driving - you can just enjoy the ride. No need to rush her, she won't want it. The machine's 400kg weight doesn't help its liveliness when it comes to giving it the big gas (overtaking, catching up with mates...). In any case, who'd want to be a showman aboard this vessel? The main thing, and more, is here: the velvety road, with the Harley legend snorting between your legs.

French Model 2012
Super roadster. Comfort and trunk. It's my second Harley and I don't regret it. Rating : 4/5
French Dan Balla Model 2015
From your commentary, MB, I'll retain the passage "Si Harley s'eusse'loupé dans le dessin...".
I think you meant to say "If Harley had missed the drawing..." but thought it best to use the subjunctive to show the bikers how clever you are with language. You should simply have used the conditional.
But which verb were you trying to juggle with? The verb "to have" (apparently). A strange choice, since we don't say "to have deceived" but "to have deceived".
So it was the verb to be. A la rigueur vous aurait pu tenter un \"Si Harley se fut trompé\" qui n\'aurait été correct du tout mais moins surréaliste que votre expression \"s\'eusse trompé\"...
So, an error in the verb (Avoir instead of Etre) and an error in the choice of the subjunctive as a tense... Two errors that make you fall into abysmal ridiculousness. But don't worry, hardly anyone will have noticed, so obsolete has the use of the subjunctive become, so to good use or completely off the bike...(motorcycle, sorry)... Rating : 1/5
French Four Ones Model 2015
Ultra Limited 2015.

Already 37,000 km without the slightest glitch, apart from the clutch recall and suitcase fastening by the factory.
The engine gets loose with the KM.
Rear tire life 23000 km, front 35000.
Maintenance every 8000, 250 to 400 â'¬uros.

Nothing but pleasure.
BOOMBOX 6.5 GT (larger screen and touchscreen) more buttons and Watts (300 in total).

Rushmore is an unqualified success. From a handling point of view, it's a bike above 5 km/h.

A HD that slows down but doesn't brake is a thing of the past with this distributed braking system and abs above 40 km/h.

Be careful at standstill, this bike is very heavy (I've fallen off 5 times at or near standstill, with no damage).

If you can afford it, don't hesitate. The others are just copies, don't forget ;-) Rating : 5/5
French JUAN Model 2014
VERY NICE BIKE! GREAT CHOICE OF OPTIONS AND COLORS! BUT THE STEERING IS FAR TOO HEAVY WHEN MANEUVERING! THE KAWA VOYAGER IS BETTER! IT'S A BIKE! REVERSE GEAR IS OPTIONAL! AND SO IS THE GPS, WHICH ISN'T INTEGRATED INTO THE DASHBOARD! AT THIS PRICE, IT'S A STEAL! THE FUEL TANK COULD BE BIGGER, TOO, AND THE ENGINE COULD HAVE 100 HP! THIS BIKE IS FOR THE WEALTHY BOBOS WHO SPEND LAVISHLY! Rating : 4/5
French Gadget
Uh, the GPS has been integrated into the dashboard on Rushmore models since 2014, and on the Ultra limited version it's even a 6.3-inch BOOM and 300 watts in all!

Heavy when stationary and under 5 km/h when starting up, it's a bike as soon as you're on the move.
Wind protection is ideal, as is rain. Still, it weighs in at 414 kg.

So either you're talking about a 2013, or you're making a small mistake Rating : 5/5
French Four Ones
You're certainly talking about a generation before Rushmore.

Indeed, the Boombox entertainment system is integrated (4 counters instead of 6 and a large touch screen in the middle of it all.

Link to headphones, wired (supplied with the bike) bluethoot, GPS, radio and on the limited CB, plus of course passenger/driver intercom. But with all these gadgets, don't lose your concentration!

If someone sold you a 2014 model after September, for the price of a new one, you've been had..... the 2014 vintage HD models were on sale in September/October 2013. Rating : 5/5
French BRUNO Model 2013
excellent very handy Rating : 5/5
French Model 2012
the original works less well than a 1450cc carburettor from 2002 with just the idle nozzle and free pots! ! ! . So at least stage 1 is required Rating : 2/5
