I can pay cash for any bike I want but I won't spend my money on overpriced Baubles.You shouldn't either!

So you suggest he Lie to his Wife on the cost in order to Lie to people that he is a big deal?You obviously told yourself to get what you want because you have a Full Gut! Very hard to go with your gut when it is empty!
The only reason you came here to encourage him is because you are carrying your own guilt issues.
I'm not sure if this is ignorance, envy, or just plain trolling. Some folks just work hard and want to enjoy it while they can.

Why yes it is. If I thought it was worth the 42k they are asking I would own one.

Seems kinda stupid to come on here and say.. "I can afford it and I want it, What should I do"? Gonna get 100 a$$holes telling you YES and 100 a$$holes telling you NO. In reality I dont give a sheet what you do. If you buy it congrats. If you dont I'm sure i wont lose any sleep over it. I understand the Post that ask "Is this a good deal" But to ask for opinions on how you should spend you money I have only one Opinion. "SEND ALL YOUR EXTRA CASH YO ME" Check, money order, or even cash is acceptable. I need the money for booze and hookers cuz I got money for a Maco just not gonna buy one. I dont have money for booze and hookers

What would twenty grand worth of upgrades to your current bike get you?

You’re right. Post certainly got bites tho, and has been interesting to read, so no regrets.

I like shinny objects, classic cars and bikes really reach out to me. That Mako CVO definitely qualifies. No way its worth 20grand more to me over my 18 Special. I toyed with the idea of a CVO, infact its a standing joke in our house now, but the things I do with my bike would just trash that CVO and that would be a shame.... Good Times

He who dies with most cash, still dies.
Make yourself happy if you can do it and live the hell out of whatever we have left here.
