Personally, I can make a lot of mods for 10 grand and make the bike more mine.

depends on your priorties.
I have said that this is going to be the last motorcycle I will buy 7 times now.
yo can buy a roadglide ultra and put an additional 10 grand in it to make it what you want and come trad in time it is still a roadglide ultra. or buy the cvo have it already done from the factory with a full warranty and have a higher trade value when hd comes out with something that you absolutly must have

For 10G, I could buy an Ultra, do everything I want to it, and still have money left over.

Hell, you could drop in a 120R for that.

+1 I'd go for the RG Ultra and make it yours.

Hey Old Bones, The Sedona RG is Gorgeous.

Only you can answer your question ...

Your tastes ... Your dollars

do you want all the CVO chrome without buying it piece by piece ?

do you want just a stock CVO 110, or a specially built motor ?

is the CVO Paint Job just what you like ?

do you need or will you use the heated seat & grips and more, now stock on the CVO Ultra ... ?

if your really rich you could use a CVO as a base bike & mod that up to your higher standards ... at great financial loss later (trade in), which may mean nothing to you ... $$$ ... are you planning to keep this bike for 10 or 20 years ? or plan to keep up with the MoCo Jones ?

If your asking us - then your not sure how to spend $ 25 - 40 thousand ... you should be absolutely sure exactly what you want before spending that kind of money - sucks to buy something and then realize you really like something else better, even if it's just a color ...

I looked at HD's for 2 years, everything I could lay my eyes on ... then ....

I WAS SO SURE ABOUT MY 2009 ELECTRIC ORANGE CVO RG !!!!!!! I went 2500 miles to find one after they were all sold out -

but that's just me - I can't imagine another bike better than my current ride - long term keeper for me for sure - and most people who see my bike are in agreement with me

The CVO is for someone to lazy to come up with their own ideas. Lots of money for bolt on parts.

I rode the RG CVO a few weeks back and the next day my buddie went down and traded his Heritage in on it. That was the only CVO in stock so I took a Roadglide Ultra out fior a test ride. Not even close to the CVO. If you got the money, go for the CVO. I've got over $30K in my limited and it's still not even close to a CVO.
