It’s still one of the most sought after pure-as-pure-gets machines to tour any road. The low center of gravity and easy handling allow you to kick back and enjoy the ride. The going got even better last year with the fuel-injected, 96-cubic-inches of all-new V-twin. You can’t miss it, glittering in black and chrome. Drop low into the seat and you’re surrounded by machine. Plant your feet on either mid-mount controls or highway pegs. This is what it feels like when you go low.

So we built the Softail® Deluxe to take style in a whole different direction. The wide whitewall tires and full skirted fenders put the class in classic. Same with the Tombstone tail light. The tank is topped with a big retro speedometer. The six-speed Cruise Drive™ transmission and 96-cubic-inch chrome and black, fuel-injected V-Twin provide the modern twist. The seat comes adorned with a classic chrome grab rail and luggage rack, and sits just 24.5 inches off the ground to make for a low and comfortable ride. You only live once. Live it Deluxe.

A narrow front wheel, drag-style bar on risers and forward controls. In other words, if you’re going to ride, ride it like you mean it. Your rear end down low in the Badlander® seat. Everything else in the wind. The black powder-coated engine and six-speed transmission for pure joy on the wide-open road. The more metal parts you look at, the more textures of black you see. There’s a 200-millimeter rear tire under the bobtail fender. Bullet headlamp out front. With a riding position few others dare, this bike overshadows more than just blacktop.

When your mother made you finish everything on your plate, she was preparing you for bigger things. Open wide. The Ultra Classic® is the touring smorgasbord. Spacious hardbags. Comfort-stitched seat with wraparound passenger backrest. Electronic passenger controls. Redesigned two-position King Tour-Pak® for more passenger room. Hope you're still hungry. There's more. Vented fairing lowers to keep legs cool on hot days. Cruise control. CB intercom. A Harman/Kardon® Advanced Audio System that clearly belts out the tunes through four speakers or headset. And for the main course: six gears of Milwaukee-brewed, 96-cubic-inch V-Twin. Make your mother proud.
