Being able to afford something is not equivalent to having the dealer gouge you! I refuse to play the msrp markup game so I joined the rapidly growing ex cvo owners group, lol. The last time I had a metric in my garage as a second bike was 2004, it was a triumph rocket. It was also the year I bought my first cvo.

without going true custom, a cvo is a pretty damn cool bike....value is subjective
i honestly don't think you're off your rocker by saying they cost too much, but I ain't gonna lie, i'd have a hard time settling for something other another CVO one day....I'm into 'em....don't think I'm alone....a couple others here seem to like them too

I like the looks of most CVO'S. The problem I have is the price. I place $30,000.00 plus and rebuild a 2010 fatboy I will have one very nice bike. It makes no sense to pay over the manufactures set price. A extra 2-5 thousand is a rip off. Sure there are people that will do that am not one of them.

I have owned 5 CVO's so far, all purchased from the same dealer at MSRP. I don't think I would pay over MSRP for any motorcycle, but that's just me.. It's what a person can afford and what makes them happy that counts... Enjoy!!

I've only had used Harley-Davidsons. Maybe someday I'll be able to afford the nicest of the nice and have it brand new. Until then, appreciate what you have and don't envy that which you don't. If someone showed up at my house right now and gave me a 15 year old bike that was paid for and all mine, I'd be just as happy as if someone gave me a brand new one. Motorcycling is about riding, not about what bike you have (that said, you won't see me on a motorcycle with a radiator or reverse!).
