Agree with you Steve on all points.

I have way more in my 2010 Ltd than I would have had I just went ahead and purchased a CVO in 2010. And along with the CVO, you get credit for the extra money it costs in the valuation services such as NADA and KBB. You don't get squat for crap you add-on to a non-CVO bike.

So if you are planning to buy an Ultra Ltd, you might want to consider the CVO if you plan to add a bunch of stuff to it later. It does not take long to cross the $10K mark with extras.

Some spend more than that on a divorce.

Which check is the most fun to write?

Jesus H Christ, if that's not an example of how ridiculous H-D has gotten with their prices I don't know what is ! Ironically, I was car shopping recently and looked at some brand new Lexus models the IS-250/350 and ES-350. All can be had for less than the CVO Limited. I understand supply and demand but HD is taking it's customers for one hell of a ride !
Price a new Limited, then go thru the catalog and price all the accessories and options on the CVO. When you are done, you will see that it is actually not a bad price at all. The CVO is targeted to the one who wants it all, in one package, without having to do it all themselves (in my opinion). I personally drool over them every time I see one - and wish I had 42,400 to spend right now.

If credit was not so easy to obtain a lot of things would not be had.
For those that can actually afford it this is what this country is coming down to and what our master dictator's big plan is, rich & poor and no in between.

The divorce check.

Do you know why divorce is so expensive?

Because it's worth it!

Apparently we all have our own priorities, especially when it comes down on how we choose to spend our money.

I tend to keep my vehicles a long time and I try to buy what I like and I take very good care of them.
Both of my Chevy trucks (an '03 and an '04) were in the $40G range, as was my '13 CVO Ultra.
If I'm able to keep riding until then, I'll probably have my CVO until I get another H-D (probably a Tri-Glide) and if the past is an indication of the future, it will be in extremely good condition.

In the past (before I knew better) I bought quite a few Honda motorcycles, but now I only buy H-D's. Buying USA made products keeps our folks working and our economy growing.
