Having Trouble Deciding
I have been looking at two bikes and having trouble deciding which one to jump on. 1st one is a 2009 CVO Ultra with 18,000 miles in immaculate shape with race tuner, stage one airfilter, Rinehart slipons, detach tourpack, detach streeglide style backrest, and all CVO goodies $23,000. The next bike is a 2014 Street Glide Special that has like 3,000 miles and comes with 4 point docking, passenger backrest with rack and Vance and Hinds Slip ons. I had a 2007 CVO Dyna and loved the bike to look at but wanted something more comfy so I traded for a 2008 Ultra which I loved but sold to buy the wife a new house. Curently riding a 2006 Heritage Classic and want to get back to a touring bike. I have always loved the CVO bikes and this seems like a good deal, but I have been hearing such great things about the new Rushmore bikes and with the accessories included I think the SG is a good deal too. What are your guys thoughts, which one would you go with and why.
Thanks

Without a doubt, the 2014. For the reason that there are soon many advances/upgrades that I would be bored trying to type them all.

It just depends on if you want all the extras that the CVO bikes come with, and if you bought a regular stock bike would you be tempted to start adding most of those things to it? Some people are content on mostly a stock bike, and some people like me find ourselves adding a bunch of extras to a stock bike and end up having way more invested in it than we should. I did that back in 2003 when I bought a brand new Road King, and by the time I had added all the things to it, including custom paint, I had a fortune in a stock bike with a bunch of add on's. The last go around I just bought a CVO and have been very happy with it. This is just my experience and what worked for me.

It depends on if you want a loaded Ultra or a stripped down Street Glide. Two different bikes, only you can say what is better for you.
FWIW, slip ons, air filter and tuner aren't a sign that the PO was hard on the motor - everyone does that, not just hot rodders.
If the 09 CVO motor is problematic, see if it got fixed along the way...
