Just left the dealer... They'll have my bike on the floor trying to sell it while the try to find me another Black/White CVO RGC.
I am committed at this point to getting a new bike, but if the jury is still out on a CVO RGC, CVO SG, or a stock bike with a 120R and a 23" front wheel. We'll see what happens...
This is my ONE splurge on myself after having my leg shattered by a geriatric back in May, just had my second surgery and when spring comes I want to be on my new ride.

Good luck - you've certainly got me thinking about that 2012 Maple CVO RG. I love my king but that has to be one of the better looking bikes I've ever seen! Everybody I've ever met who has a RG says the ride is second to none...

Just spent the last five hours building a spreadsheet to compare building a raked, 120" powered FLHX with 23" front, 18" rear, and a bunch of other crap.
Not counting any serious body mods I am already at about 32K, the CVO is looking more and more tempting by the minute...

I spoke with the dealer here in AZ - they have that same skunk CVO (agree it is absolutely amazing in person) and they have it listed at 33k and some change. I asked them how much out the door when you're looking at taxes, fees, etc and it comes in at 39k. My King is paid off and is very nice in its own right. But I'm looking at roughly an additional 19k if I were to sell the King and get 20k which is on the conservative side but probably realistic. In my opinion I can't justify that much coin for the exact same frame I'm riding with now. Just my two cents...wish you the best. The folks on this board who said the bike was at 40k were about right.
