Dissapointed?? It's still called an Ultra "Classic" isn't it? To me that's the best part of owning one, I can customize to my own specific taste.. If I wanted an out of the box complete Ultra I'd give HD an extra $15K for a SE and be done with it.... Personally, the only thing I'm waiting for is an Orange Ultra Classic but the colors aren't deal breakers for me as I think they the have the right balance of technology and traditional styling. Just my .02.

You can order a 103" in the 2011 Street Glide. That's a cool change

The only one that looked good to me was the arctic white one. No price quoted for it though. I wonder if they updated the radio with a non-obsolete model? I didn't see any mention of that in the specs.
Oops- I just went back to the site and found a page that described the features and no, it still has a radio with a nav button which is no longer functional since they don't sell the GPS module any more.
Otherwise, I didn't see anything new at all. I did notice that they haven't increased the MSRP's in the last 2 years though.
It really is strange, to me anyway, that they don't offer the 103" motor option in the Ultra. Seems like that would be a great way to up the price at essentially no additional cost for the MOCO.
Oh well.. I can't afford one anyway.

Just got home from work.
Yes, I have a 07 Ultra and I like it. I have ridden a few 09's and a 10. I did not feel a big enough difference in the ride to justify the cost of getting one.
If I was going to get one, here a few things they should on put on the 11's, after all it is a TOURING bike. If they had a few of these items I would be tempted to buy.
Get rid of TBW
1. 103 motor
2. Standard oil cooler
3. get rid of the useless air temp and replace it with a oil type guage
4. wireless intercom system with TWO headsets.
5. audio remote for passenger
6. a decent lower back passenger pad on the tour pak that actually provides comfort and support
7. Power outlet in the tour pak
8. tour pak led rack
Just IMHO thoughts, from what I have seen so far on the HD site, a 09 or 10 would be just as good.

there's been a ton of improvements since 07, 09 has Brembos, 6 gallon tank, much better gearing, new frame, led tailight, bigger throttle body. that being said I know plenty of guys happy with their 07 and older, just ride!
