Default I know you love your bike but???

I know most people love the ride they have but if the bike was crap out on you would you replace it with the same model????????

I was asked this question recently and my immediate answer was yes, I suspect i answered that way b/c I am proud of my ride and love the bike but after thinking about it more as i was cruising i figured that if I was to get another bike i would most likely get a different model to try something else, change it up somewhat.


What would you do??

I probably would too. I like all of Harley's models and when I started shopping I was looking for a Street Glide. Everytime I went to the dealer the Heritage just fit me the best of all. I'd probably get another one if not the CVO Convertable.

Depends on what you mean by "crap out". If you're talking about having troubles, I'd just fix them. If you mean totaled, I'd probably go with something different.

My reasoning is there are so many different bikes I'd love to have, but can't afford to have them all.

Maybe a blacked out Street Glide with a 21" on front, billet rims and air suspension. Extended bags and a killer stereo.

Or a Cross Bones with 23" front, no fender, and slammed on the ground.

Maybe a Shovelhead powered hardtail, stripped down and ready to run.

So many bikes, so little money.

i'd get a deluxe.

i didn't buy my bike because it was my dream bike.

i bought it because i basically stole it.

my style is a slammed deluxe with a set of painted hard bags, apes, and loooong fishtails.

but i got a 2008 dyna with 1500 miles for 5800 bucks. thats ALL of our styles.

Not sure, I LOVE my Custom.
But if I had to replace it I'm not sure if I would get another or maybe an 'improved' CVO (CVO XBones anyone?) of one kind or another.
One things for sure, it would almost have to be a Softail, after riding this one for nearly 4 years I'm spoiled.

I do not LOVE my bike. I tried and threw out my back.
I love my wife, my kids and my dogs.
I like my bike.

If I could fix it, I would. if a different bike, street glide. Preferably a 2011 CVO, in orange if your buying.

If I blew my engine, i'd get like a 130" and be awesome. My bike is super sexy, I love it. If I totalled it, though... I'd probably get a street glide and murder it out.
