Default Met a 2015 Road Glide Ultra CVO-Awesome!

I met a guy today that has a beautiful blue 2015 Road Glide Ultra CVO. The Road Glide is not my favorite, but this beast was beautiful!

He recently had a stage 1 done, that included V&H power duals, and V&H 450 Destroyers slipons. Man did that sound awesome! He didn't know what the guy used for programming the ECM...but he does remember it Dynoed at 99 ft/lbs torque, and 120 HP at the wheel. He had a big grin when he said that monster flies!!!

Did I mention it really sounded good too?!

99 ft/lbs and 120 hp at the wheel? I don't think so. Possibly he got his wires crossed.

Had they not release the 2016 RGU. I would have purchased one of the 2015 CVO's there wee still a few on the floors. Lucky August 23rd I got a call from the dealer 2016 RGU was headed to the dealership.
I put way to many miles on my bikes to mess with a CVO but if I had to I would have.
3500 miles on the new RGU now and very happy with it. The high out putt 103 is nothing to be ashamed of on the road. I have put many miles on 103's and the high out put does deliver on the road.
The CVO Blue is sharp much better than a normal Blue one.

I am currently on my 4th new RG or RGU. I have decided that the RG is the way to go for me. I could have had the 2015 RGU CVO for 38,000. But as I said I ride the heck out of mine and it would have held no value for trade anyway.
Kept my 2013 an extra year waiting. I really wanted the wet head and was not going to trade unless I got it. Not as flashy as the CVO but an outstanding ride so far.
Riding is my one vise so if a little cash gets spend it is still not bad compared to others vises.
