lots of perspectives regarding relative worth, value, etc. which is all it is..I mean Jeff Bezos might think they are a steal of a deal...I wouldn't want to spend that much but my wife is getting her new CVO Tri Glide because she just totaled her trike and sold her condo so she's able to walk in with a suitcase full of cash and buy it outright, and the CVO has everything she likes including the kitchen sink

No one should feel like they have to defend or justify their CVO purchase to anybody else on here, no matter their perspective...if you have the money and want a CVO then go for it!

CVO shaming...not a thing!

thanks, told the story earlier but after rolling her trike off the highway she miraculously escaped with only scrapes, bumps and bruises..the tough lady she is, first thing she said when I saw her in an ER bed was "looks like I'm getting a new trike"..just who she is, when we met I was also riding and racing dirt bikes so she had to get one too and went all over with me and my son to blast around the woods, mx tracks, etc and took a few lumps there as well..she's ridden to Sturgis twice over 4000 mile round trips and I haven't even gone yet! she started on a Sporster then decided trikes were the way to go..this 2012 'Trikezilla' was her first one

If she thinks she gets a new trike because hers got bruised up then you should have said since she also got bruised up then you get a new 25 year old blonde, fair is fair! LoL

The good news is that no one needs to defend the purchase or NON-purchase of any motorcycle.
