Default Torn between the models

Hi there from Malaysia,
I have a problem and I'm sure I'm alone in this, I am about to actually planning to buy a harley, the problem is a toss up between the a used 09 Crossbone or new 2012 Street Glide, standard or CVO?

I've been riding and racing superbike in local scene especially the italian v-twins for almost 20 year. Actually not too long ago my first taste of harley was a Dyna low rider, I remembered chasing a Duc 749S on a downhill, which shock most riders then I tried a XR1200R belongs to a friend and ever since then I have been itchin to switch to own a Harley, the problem is which model, I like Bobber look, actually been thinking about trying my hands on trick out bobber and take it to the track for fun but then I saw new 2012 bagger, especially the Custom bagger, am torn between the two.

Please reply, I would like to read of your some stories on model of choice.

Cheers
