CVO
Ain't tring to bust no ones chops here just wanted to know any one else thought the same way. Some people pay up to 35,000 for them cvo bikes when you buy a stocker and take the rest of the money and make it run and look better and make it how you want it. if you pay that much you are not going to change it much. so if you going to a ralley there might be ten just like it there! so is there some thing i'm missing or these guy's have more money than brains? sorry about the rant

RE: CVO
Someone on a Jap cruiser that costs $9k new probably wonders the same thing about all of us who pay $18k-$22k for a stock Harley off the showroom floor.
It all depends on how bad you want a particular motorcycle...

Think about the resale factor too. CVO = $35 K, will hold it's value. put $15K into a stock bike, and it isstill worth not much more than the stock price.

I figure ifI sold my Deluxe right now I would potentially lose $6k and that is if I sold it with all the removable parts. Less if keep the parts (Bags, tour pak, etc) and sold them seperately.
If anything the depreciation was pretty much the same.

RE: CVO
What's your point other then trying to create problems?
Obviously if you did the math you would discover that the CVO price is less then if you were to put all the extras, paint, engine upgrade on yourself. Again, this is HD pricing. You could have a cheaper paint job and buy other parts.
They say CVO bikes are put together with more care then stockers. They have their own separate plant/CVO team that assemble these bikes.
I'll put my 30k CVO up against a 18k stock bike with 12k in aftermarket and I bet I'd get more in return at resale.
To each their own. I have both a Street Glide and a CVO Road King and the Road King BY FAR feels much better on the road and I get a ton of rubber necking and compliments.
Bash on.
