I wish they would have continued the classic from last year... oh well. I really wanted to add one to the garage!
I know the feeling about wishing they had continued the classic. Given that it was being discontinued, and HD had the 2.99% interest rate, I bit the bullet and picked one up when they were clearing out '07's here. I wish I'd had a little more time to have a bit more buffer before buying one, but they seemed hard to find used and I figured this was going to be about the best opportunity to get one.

It's a great ride, so I'm glad I did it, but I still wish I'd had more time. I do like the CVO with the black paint job. The orange is a bit bright for my taste. It is one expensive motorcycle, though, so I doubt I'll ever be able to afford one. I think the Sportster and Springer Classic will have to last me, oh, forever.

That's almost what the Springer Classic is (or was). There are a lot of similarities between the two. I'll admit that the Deluxe was the other Softail I like a lot, so the Springer Classic got me the springer front end with something close to to the Deluxe styling.

Yes, I will admit that one mystfies me a little. When I have to get my tires replaced in the future, I'll likely go for whitewalls to replace them.

Thats what I am talking about...I thought it was real ugly until I actually saw it.

ORIGINAL: akenaten

Different strokes I guess. i think that CVO Springer is one of,if not THE, ugliest bike Harley-Davidson has ever made! I love the regular Springers but this SE one is an abortion.[:'(]

I visited Skagit Harley last sunday, they have a 07' Springer classic in the showroom, price dropped $2,000, for sale $17,000. Nice dark green/black, beautiful bike, I wish I can take it home. To be honset, I still miss the Springer softail, the Springer classic front end is kind of big.
