2023 Harley-Davidson® Ultra Limited® vs 2023 Indian Roadmaster

Harley-Davidson® of New Port Richey now has the 2023 Harley-Davidson® Ultra Limited® available to test ride and purchase. The Ultra Limited® is the modern evolution of the Electra Glide and delivers a fully loaded touring experience that is second-to-none. Our team can assist you with Harley-Davidson® financing, personalizing your Ultra Limited® and much more. The 2023 Indian Roadmaster has recently become available as well, and the Roadmaster is Indian’s direct competitor to the Ultra Limited®. With that in mind, let’s compare the 2023 Harley-Davidson® Ultra Limited® vs 2023 Indian Roadmaster and see how they measure up across a number of key areas, such as pricing, performance and customization.

Pricing

Motorcycle enthusiasts who compare Indian to Harley-Davidson® for the first time are often surprised at the price differences, and that gap is there when comparing the 2023 Harley-Davidson® Ultra Limited® vs 2023 Indian Roadmaster. The Roadmaster is more expensive. Indian would like to sell you on the fact that this is necessary due to the high-quality of their parts and manufacturing standards. The truth is that the pricing is a marketing choice with the hopes of convincing you that more expensive equals better. But the Ultra Limited® is at the pinnacle of touring machines and simply provides greater value.

Performance

All Ultra Limited® models available through Harley-Davidson® of New Port Richey are powered by the Milwaukee-Eight® 114 V-twin engine, which is the most powerful engine that the brand uses for its standard touring models. The 2023 Indian Roadmaster is powered by the Thunderstroke 116, which is also air cooled. The performance here is similar. Perhaps the biggest difference is that the Ultra Limited® gives you the option of advanced rider assists, which are aren’t available with the Roadmaster.

Ride Characteristics

The Ultra Limited® has the fork-mounted or batwing fairing. It also a windscreen, heated grips, a state-of-the-art infotainment system, two-up seating, a backrest for the passenger, floorboards, stretched saddlebags and touring pack with luggage carrier. The Roadmaster is quite similar with all of the features that it includes standard minus the heated grips. You should also compare the infotainment systems if that feature is important to you. Most critics agree that the infotainment operating system included with the Harley-Davidson® is more user-friendly and has a more robust feature set.

Personalization

This is another area where the 2023 Harley-Davidson® Ultra Limited® really shines over the 2023 Indian Roadmaster. The Harley-Davidson® catalog is simply unmatched by any other motorcycle manufacturer. Indian offers a small collection for the Chief whereas Harley-Davidson® has an expansive collection that it continues to expand with each new season. Harley-Davidson® of New Port Richey provides you full access to the catalog at competitive prices. For anything that we don’t keep in stock, we can have it shipped here fast at no additional charge to you, and our team installs all accessories and performance parts.

With the Ultra Limited®, you have the choice of either classic chrome finish or a modern blacked-out aesthetic. The chrome finish is standard. Vivid Black is the standard color scheme. Heirloom Red Fade with the chrome finish is exclusive to this year for the 120th anniversary. You can also get Redline Red and Gray Haze with Silver Fortune with the chrome look. With the darker look, premium options include Gray Haze, Bright Billiard Blue with Billiard Gray and Prospect Gold with Vivid Black. The Roadmaster is available in two colors.
