Don't know about running circles, but you'll walk away.

CVO = badges & 255 cams (yawn.) They do have "nice paint" though.

The 103 gained power for 2014, the 110 lost power for 2014. Unless you really like the CVO paint or the blingy crap, the CVOs aren't worth the money.

And I say that as a 2012 CVO owner who wishes he'd known what the Mothership had planned for the Limited 3 months after I'd bought it.

Mine is just like yours. I like the CVO paint and blingy crap.

I do too, I'd like it better if it had an adult-sized backseat and passenger footboards.

With the '14s, I don't see enough there to justify the extra cash for a CVO.

So, figure cams and headwork on a 110", and you'll be even further ahead.

My take - it's a 850# motorcycle. I'm not looking to break any records, and having the 110" makes easy work of mountain passes and uphill climbs, with plenty of torque to spare.
+1...There is no replacement for displacement. Wish I had it!

I agree. All toys are overpriced. We want them so they sell them for what we will pay.

Saw the torque curves and the new high output 103 is very close to stock 110. Very attractive and save 12 Grand over a cvo!!!!

I couldn't agree more.

I like the CVO's and I am interested in a new Road Glide CVO if they come out a with them but when I bought the 11 I didn't really think it was that great. but in 11 they just had a ultra.

the 110 is a ok motor. But I really like the CVO paint. lol

Is the electric locking hard bags and tour pack an option on non CVO models? That's one thing I always wished I had. Pain in the *** locking/unlocking each bag individually.
