Default Serious Question

I'm new here so be kind. I'm ready to pull the trigger on a new/used Harley.

Here we go. I'm considering a

1) 2014 Ultra Limited stock with 1300 miles for around $23,000

2) 2010 Ultra CVO in Black with 16,000 miles and $22,000

What are the pro's and cons? I absolutely love the Black with Grey Ghost Flames pinstriped in red on the CVO but also love the Rushmore options on the limited and the Limited is Silver and Black great color combo.

I ride a 2002 Honda VTX 1800 and love the power. This is a huge step up for me and the wife so I'm just really beating my head on the wall making the decision.

Is the 110 Screaming Eagle a good fit for the Las Vegas area? Does it run too hot?? Are they reliable?? What HP does the CVO have stock???

I'm fairly well versed on the Limited so my question is would you take a CVO that's 6 years old over a Limited that's 2 years old??

Go with the Limited. Newer bike, same money, more features, what's left of the warranty, better set-up for 2 up riding, almost the same amount of power.

Yeah what Oldenuf said!

Don't get me wrong, CVOs are badazz, but nothing wrong with a 2014 Limited that is loaded and newer.

Even though I have a '13 CVO Ultra, I will agree with the two previous posters.


The newer the bike, combined with the fewer miles make is a no-brainer IMHO.

With the 16's out you might get a '15 close to the price of the used bikes. I pd $27,000 otd in December on a '15 ltd.

Between the 2 you mention no contest. Take the 14 and ride. Having said that I bet you could pick up a 15 Limited for just about the same money as the 14 now that the new bikes are coming in. You might spend a little more coin...but you're getting a new bike and 2 years worth of warranty.
