it’s got gps,
....what else can we add to the cry list.

I guess the humor in my Evo comment was lost in this font.

Was very disappointed when the 2019s pics were released. Im on my 3rd CVO which is a 2017 and over 30,000 miles and really wanted to update to keep from getting killed on mileage tradein. I still like my chrome so 2 of the 3 were out. The one with chrome is nearly the most ugly, plain color Ive seen in a bike. Sure hoping the 2020s are better in the eyes.

I think the question is:
Brand new non-CVO Ultra Limited: 28500
Brand new CVO Ultra Limited: 42000+
What are you getting for the extra ~14k?
Don't get me wrong, I like CVOs but I don't think they are worth all that extra money. I asked a dealer one time
what makes it cost more, and the answer was "Custom, hand-done paint job and a bigger engine, and a couple
extra baubles/chrome".
Doesn't seem like that should add up to that much.

I agree. The new Electra Glide Standard is a better looking bike, at least to me.

My 19 Limited rides just the same. After putting a few grand into it I have exactly what I want. It’s “my CVO” and for a hell of a lot less. Even if I had the other 13k I’d rather use it for a down payment on my next bike. None of them last forever. Besides that CVO still needs slip ons, air cleaner, higher bars and more
