Harley-Davidson introduced the 115th Anniversary Ultra Limited for the 2018 model year as part of its 115th anniversary celebration. Rather than being a long-running standalone line, it was a limited-edition commemorative version of the Ultra Limited touring platform, offered during the brand’s anniversary year only. Harley-Davidson’s own 2018 anniversary materials describe the special paint package as one of a small group of serialized anniversary editions made available on select models, and the Ultra Limited was among the touring bikes chosen for that treatment.
The base Ultra Limited was already positioned near the top of Harley-Davidson’s Grand American Touring range, aimed at riders who wanted a full-dress long-distance machine with premium comfort and touring convenience. The 115th Anniversary edition added distinctive visual and commemorative details intended to mark the milestone year, including anniversary badging, special paint, and serialized identification. In practice, the model served as a collectible expression of the standard Ultra Limited rather than a separate mechanical generation.
Because the 115th Anniversary designation was tied specifically to Harley-Davidson’s 2018 celebration, the nameplate did not continue into later model years. For enthusiasts and collectors, it is notable primarily as a factory-built commemorative version of one of Harley-Davidson’s most established touring motorcycles, blending the Ultra Limited’s long-distance touring identity with limited-run anniversary presentation.
