Default Dont know what to go for..... NEED HELP

Hiya Guys,

I have and 08 RKC with 10'000 miles on. My dealer is trying to convince me to trade up and she is offering me a sweet deal on the king. She probably has someone to sell it to. I dont care as long as I am getting the right price (although I am sentimental about the bike).

Now I am torn between the Ultra Limited and the CVO Street Glide.

I am a huge fan of the size of the Ultra. On the other side, the dealer does not have any CVO street glides yet and is trying to convince me to buy without seeing. Did any of you see the CVO colors in person? Any daylight photos?

Need your help PLEASEEEE

As a salesperson, believe me, they wouldn't be hot after your bike unless they are planning on making good money on all sides of the deal. (You make your money on the buy, fair market value is fair market value)

I say go with the Ultra. More bike, alot less money and from everything I have heard the 103 is a better runner than the 110. Besides, has Dawg ever been wrong?

get the ultra, then you can strip off stuff instead of buying the stuff to make a street glide and save money

You live in Cairo Egypt, crazy drivers there, must be dangerous as hell on a bike. I recommend a Chevy Avalanche, but if you got the *****, which you obviously do, get the Ultra.
