I found a leftover CVO Road glide that I’ve been looking to get. Even if I were able to get it for $40k even, I believe my bike is worth about $15k on trade. So I am finding myself asking is a leftover CVO road glide worth trade of my road glide PLUS $25k + tax and fees? I can do a hell of a lot of mods to my bike for $25k. The obvious difference would be resale value.

 

Personal opinion....nope, not worth the money. To each his own though.

Now, if I had money to burn, I'd get a CVO.

 

If its a leftover is it a 19? One year old now but with a new price? If you want it get it. I loved my CVO but the new ones are just to much money for me. I say get it and enjoy it.

 

You have to make your own decisions. I just got in from a ride on my 2020 CVO Limited. Smooth as butter and effortless cruise at 85 MPH......YMMV.

 

No bike is worth $40k in my opinion.

 

There’s another section in the forum for CVO riders.

You’ll get some thoughts there as well.

A CVO is pretty cool I guess.

 

Not worth it. I dont feel like you are really getting your money's worth. However to some people it is worth it, and this is America so hell yeah spend your money how you see fit. If I had excess rolling in I would consider one for sure.

 

My take as well. $40K buys a lot of nice car.

 

The purchase price of any CVO model can be justified if you're one of those (like me) that chooses to radically accessorize their ride.

A "custom" paint job with serious engine upgrades on a non-CVO model will more than likely have you investing more than you would in a CVO bike and even then you won't have the many other premium items that come in a CVO badged bike (i.e. heated grips, heated seats, XM radio, remote locks, chromed trim items, bag liners, bike cove, etc., etc.).

I have one Anniversary Edition bike, one CVO Ultra bike and (probably my last) Tri-Glide.
I just couldn't bring myself to trade or sell my CVO in order to get a newer model trike as I knew that at this point in my life that I'd never get a replacement.

 

One should buy what they want, what they like, and what they can afford. Regardless of anyone else's opinion. No one has a nickle invested other than the purchaser.
If you want a glass of 100 year old scotch....and can afford a glass of 100 year old scotch......Who's to say you shouldn't buy it.
