There are lots of naysayers but once you ride a few Harley's and realize that the majority of extra features are well done and make the bike better you begin to appreciate the CVO bikes better. There are a well done bunch.

They are beautiful bikes,but you`re bound to run into your twin eventually.
My buddy was interested in the CVO Road Glide;white/black.Our dealer wanted $40k.
For less than that,he could have bought a normal RG,sent a **** ton of parts to Browns to get plated,bought rims,and got custom paint for alot less than $40k.
Granted,our local dealer is overpriced.But like I told him,you just gotta do your homework,and you can have a truely one of a kind bike;until someone copies it.
This isnt a bash,its just my personal expeirence.

You can put $20K in customization into a $20K Road Glide and three months later it's only worth $18K on trade. A $40K CVO three months later will bring on trade $32K. This is why CVOs make sense to many riders.

Some people drive Chevy Avalanches with the 320 HP motor for $50,000 (5.3 or 6.0 motor)
& same platform-
Some people drive Caddy Escalade EXTs with the 403 HP motor for $65,000 (6.2 motor)
Honda Ridgeline = $35,000
RG C $19,000 RG Ultra 103 $24,000
RG CVO 110 $32,000 RG CVO 110 Ultra $36,000
