I went over to the dealership to pick up a small $10 dollar part and made the huge mistake of wondering over to the new bikes. I hadn't even been to the showroom the last 6 months or so and hadn't really seen this years crop of new bikes in person.
Then I saw it. Damn. It drew me towards it like it had a tractor beam on me. A 2012 CVO Ultra Classic in bright yellow. My heart started pitter pattering and my palms got sweaty and I knew I was in deep kimchi. Before I could escape, the salesman saw the look in my eye and moved in for the kill. He didn't even have to try and sell it. I was mesmerized. I've been very pleased and satisfied with my 2009 Ultra Classic and put some 35,000+ enjoyable miles on it and couldn't have been happier. Until today.
No, I didn't buy it. Yet. I was able to run away and partially come to my senses. I just need to figure out a way of erasing my memory and completely forgetting how it made me feel sitting on it before it's to late.
$40,000 they are asking for it as configured. For a bike? Thats crazy!!!
More than double the price of mine now. I know I am not going to sleep very well tonight.

I brought home a yellow bike once. My GF said it looked like a taxicab. That's all it took; traded it in with less than 250 miles. 40 large for ANY vehicle is OTT ridiculous. You could buy a decent 2/2/1 in Florida for 40 large. If your bike has been great for 35K miles, why open a can of worms by trading? New bike might have problems. That's why I keep what I got--my bikes are proven, and that makes 'em more attractive to me than a new sled. 'Sides--the MoCo ain't really come out with something affordable that I like lately. Then ya gotta deal with the cat, then the mods start all over.
No--unless you make the kinda $$ where 40Gs are pocket change, I'd eschew the idea.
