Default New Bike CVO Road Glide or CVO Ultra

Well since selling my 09 Street Glide during the summer I am currently looking at the following bikes.

CVO Road Glide 110 Anniv.
CVO Ultra 110 Anniv
Ultra Limited 110 Anniv

I am considering the Road Glide over the idea of the fixed fairing. This only became an option as a person backed out of their deposit and its currently at the dealer.

I hate when I am not 100% but have read a lot of good posts on the Road Glides...anything I may miss before I might pull the trigger ?

I can't add to what you already probably know but I will say that the CVO RGs look badass. Hands down my choice.

No doubt some awesome looking eye candy. Will need to add the tour pack and a more comfortable touring seat for the longer rides.

You still have the WG? I know you we're talking about selling, but never heard the outcome.

JMHO, but I don't care for the Anniversary colors even on the CVO bikes.

I had a deposit on an Anniversary Edition Limited until I saw the pics.

I think the CVO RG Custom is the hottest bike H-D has right now.

However, it's just not my kind of bike, and especially not the Anniversary Edition but if that's what floats your boat then you should pull the trigger.

I went with the CVO S/E Ultra (batwing) in Typhoon Red.
THe biggest issue I have with this bike is the positioning of the handlebars vs the seat, which is an expensive project to complete even if I do it myself.

Yes I still have the WG, it's just a hard bike to part with. Not sure money could help me deal with the fact I may have to see someone riding it and possibly not taking care of it.

All the choices are awesome choices that's for sure.

One model has it all, One is the best value with almost all,

and one will eat miles, and miles of asphalt and need some minor changes.


I choose the one that ate miles and miles of the concrete jungle!!!



Good Luck, Ride Safe, and keep us posted

Yep, I'd go Road Glide, based on looks alone. I've never ridden one. How does the RG fairing deflect the wind compared to an Ultra?
