Talking Thinking hard about getting a 2012 CVO Road Glide...

I currently ride a 2006 Road King with Hoppe fairing and detatchable king tour pack. It's paid for and I really thought it was EVERYTHING I needed in a bike, being that it is really three bikes in one with the fairing and tour pack being removable.

I went in to drop of my bike for some tires the other day and they had a Black/White CVO RG on the floor... I think I am in love

By the way, the pic just simply does not do it justice. In person it is the most beautiful bike HD has ever made IMO.



I was already looking at putting about 3K in my 88" motor this winter and I still had a few minor things I wanted to do "better radio, cruise control" but other than that it is perfect for me.

I guess what I am looking for is not only opinions of the Black/White CVO RG but buying a CVO bike in general. Also I have never ridden a bike with anything but a stock 88" and am wondering if the 110" CVO motor is really all that they advertise it as being.

Thanks for any input you have.

If you can afford it, I say do it.

CVO is a nice way to go...in that it comes with everything already. Would be nice if it came with the lower fairings though....

Later on, a cam upgrade and tune can make it even better.
