I traded my '10 Voyager in on a '16 Road Glide Ultra. They made me a deal I couldn't refuse. I am really liking the new ride. I would have stayed with Kawasaki, but lost all my close by dealers.
It does not struggle on the hills like the Voyager did. I would have to downshift and rev the Voyager higher since its powerband is further up the RPM range.

I guess I must not understand the words I used in that sentence as well as you do. I'll try harder next time.

With my research on the HD forums, looks like the 110 CVO glide has about 80-85HP, and is 870lbs wet.
My vulcan classic has about 65-70hp, with the tuner and pipes and weighs in at about 725lbs. Looks like my butt dyno was pretty correct when i stated they "seemed to have fairly equal power."

Substantial difference. I could tell the street glide had more get up off the line. It would have felt like a much larger difference than it did, had the glide not weighed so much more I think. Still, I think I'll be looking at the 103 road glide soon. I don't NEED more power. Just an observation of what the bike felt like to me.

Yep, that's 100% correct. When I rode with my buddy that has a 2008 CVO Ultra , I could never keep up when passing or take off. He left me in the dust.
