In a word, yes.

But you have to see it on the floor and just love it, you can't talk yourself into it due to value or math. That's MHO. When I saw the one I bought, I knew I wasn't leaving without a deal...

I dunno, I can't see the value,Especially if you compare it to something else that much cash can buy like a new Mercedes for example.

An entry level Benz maybe. Same scenario as buying a stock black motorcycle (of any brand). There will tons of them all over the place flooding the market and killing resale value.

Na, no teasing!

Your 2011 was a killer asphalt eating machine! A good friend had the same color. The new ones are even more pimped out with even more goodies then past years. (Which you already know)

Btw, how are those vent screen working out for you? My best friend was inquiring about them? Can't remember if you crafted your own or did the Klockwerks route?



TIA

Working great! I made them myself. I think I have a PDF of the pattern for them if I can find it on this computer.

This guy made it 1400 miles home with me

I am on my third CVO. 11 RGC Ultra, 12 RGC and a 16 RGC Ultra.

Never added a thing to them. For me they have been well worth the pleasure of riding them.

Who cares about resale value? Just enjoy it. But like Starbucks coffee, it's worth what someone is willing to pay. Just look at house markets around the country.

Funny how when dealers know your bike is paid for they offer less, lol

I will say that my 07 ultra will outrun a new CVO Ultra.. A chapter brother bought one and we had to try it. I'll be trading my 07 in on a new CVO in July but it is going to have to have some work to run like mine.

Compare apples to apples and not apples to oranges.

Your bike is built. Is your buddy's still stock?
