Default Overpriced Touring Model

Which touring model do you think is the most overpriced? I think the Street Glide is, it's the most popular bike in the touring line so I guess that's why. I think the Electra Glide Classic offers the most bang for your $$.

I have to agree with this. Yes, they're cool, but who doesn't want to customize their own bikes? You're paying for factory customization and you may or may not change it more after you spent the $$$$.

Didn't notice the touring model for this thread. I would also say the CVO's are WAY too expensive for what you get.

None of them are overpriced. The main problem is I'm UNDERCOMPENSATED. If I made three times the salary I currently get, these bikes would seem cheap!

I think that the harley touring are modest price. This past weekend I was at a dealer bike show and rode a Victory Cross Country loaded and with all the extras was 25500. They also had a stock 2011 goldwing with navigation etc for 33500. I am feeling pretty good I bought a 2011 Streetglide with power pack for under 21K
