Unless I missed it I have not seen anyone bring it up in this section. Hell, if you're any good with a wrench you can stuff some aftermarket cylinders on there at the first sign of any problems and not worry about it again.

Get the Dyna..................................they're better than Softails.

Perhaps your right ackman. Not sure I've heard of the problems with the Dyna CVO's. BUT, I don't think I'd want to drop that much coin on one. I'd rather just get a regular dyna and throw in a good 103" kit or something of the sort.

although i love the softail deuce, the price jump justifies the mileage (only 200!?) and the six speed tranny is a beaut on a long trip... that's just my 2 cents.

I am torn on the dollar amount. I can pay for either one, although that $19k is a nice chunk of change. In the past, I averaged about 5k miles a year on my bikes. What would you do?

I would keep looking especially now. I search classifieds on a daily basis and noticed today on eBay some really good deals are starting to pop up on both bikes and cars. Example: low mileage Wide Glide's 06 & 07 (buy it now price of 10,000 each).

2007 Harley Davidson Dyna Screamin Eagle! - $15000
http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/mcy/1288977133.html
Health forces sale of my 2007 Dyna Screamin Eagle. It has about an extra $1000.00 in accessories including a quick detach backrest, quick detach windshield, custom racer exhaust and turn signal conversion. MSRP on the bike was $24,995 and I paid close to $27,800 all said and done. The bike has about 7,000 miles on it and looks and runs like new. I am selling it for the highest offer over $15,000.00. Please feel free to give me a call on my cell @ 619-548-7547 with any questions / comments you may have. Thanks, Skip

I would go for the 2008 CVO Dyna. Just for the fact it has 200 miles a 110 ci motor and a 6 speed as compared to a bike with 25k a 103ci motor and 5 speed tranny.
Both are nice bikes but I do prefer the Dyna's handling over a Softail. Just my

Pretty much my thoughts exactly except I'm not a fan of the Deuce at all, would take a the CVO Dyna over any of the CVO Softails.
