It is the border before the CVO tourer, after the desire to travel the countries, between the road and the time. Ultra Limited does not take half measures in the definition of travel. And since Harley can’t deny her anything, what better way to power this ship than a huge engine? ? New generation? With what to upset some conventions? The new Milwaukee Eight will handle this task. Without going into too much detail, let us point out the big evolutions of this 9th generation twin. LaMoCo has offered itself a block capable of offering much more effort while passing increasingly drastic standards, those of tomorrow and even further. With 4 valves per cylinder, dual ignition, partially liquid cooling, a balance shaft absorbing 75% of vibrations at idle, better gas flow and 56 cm3 more than the Twin Cam 103, the M8 changes the dimension of Harley engines.

The power ? It doesn’t matter, because it’s the couple’s propensity that will grab you at every moment. No less than 15.4 mkg are available at 3250 rpm. What to offer muscular covers and a velocity more in phase with the majesty of this liner.
Recall what the Rushmore project had offered in 2014, namely an abundance of improvements. Four years of listening to customers, collecting comments and ideas, feedback, and in the end, a discreet leap forward on all fronts. Always so delicious, but its services became of another ilk. What about ?
Let’s start with a blow of the scalpel in the fairing. Harley also dares to modify its timeless “Batwing” fork crown. 3000 tests later, a central air intake is cut under the windshield, so as to equalize the air pressure and reduce the eddies around the pilot’s helmet. It opens and closes at the push of a button. Then, it’s a cocktail of practicality and style that subtly changes the peripherals of the Limited. The Tour Pak trunk, more compact, nevertheless offers 4% more capacity. The slimmer suitcases also provide more storage space. These luggage elements open with a single push. In addition, they are lockable with a One-Touch button, just like the fuel flap, the Jukebox and the glove boxes..
That’s all ? Not far from here. The Rushmore Project takes Harley to a new dimension of entertainment. The MP3 CD “motorcycle radio” gives way to a multimedia system worthy of an Audi. On the Electra Limited this is called the BOOM Box 6.5 GT and includes a 6.5 inch touchscreen, GPS with over 35 features, 25w per channel, voice recognition, Bluetooth; and with the Jukebox, you can connect your iPod, USB key or SD card. Your tastes combine with Harley styling to take you as far as the horizon.
Let’s stay within the framework of life on board to discover how comfort evolves. For the pilot, as we have seen, beautiful and complete instrumentation, heated grips and cruise control. It is on the passenger side that the gain is made. Saddle longer and wider by 2.5 cm, saddlebag guards lowered, backrest revised in height, width, angle and shape for better comfort, offset speakers and adjusted armrests. With that, it’s impossible not to please Madame.
Even more than before, this Touring should have been rebadged from Limited to Unlimited. After optimizing engine, comfort and entertainment, Harley also looked at the chassis. Lighter and stiffer wheels, of course. A 49 mm fork, that is. Fine-tuned damping, OK. And to include braking, the Reflex system combined with ABS. To put it simply, the front and rear brakes operate independently below 40 km / h. Above, the linked braking is activated and an electronic management distributes the braking between the front and rear. 2017 continues this momentum with a more efficient Showa fork and emulsion shocks. The preload is adjusted using a dial. Not only more efficient, amortization is intended to be more constant.
The lighting is also evolving, with a Daymaker LED headlight supported by halogen fog lights. Not content with offering more light, Daymaker technology visually brings a surprising modern touch. In all, these eyes distribute 2136 lumens to pierce black. Do these numbers mean nothing to you? Neither to me. The Ultra Limited 1690 “phase 2” also adopted controls with remote functions on the handlebars, a new front fender, new medallions, more visible instrumentation and a new harness for battery charging..
While retaining a maximum of style which is all the pride of the Electra, this anthem to the road offers once again much more, for a slight inflation. Rise anyway almost transparent given the amount required to have the right to cruiser on such a machine. Sitting on a striking Milwaukee Eight 107 Ultra Limited, you have no more excuses not to indulge yourself for thousands of miles.
