For the last 3 summers we have had piston/valve guide failures on our Jalapeno. Had a less than perfect ride to the Santa Fe GTG, canceled 2 other trips, lost 9 months of ride time and spent over $8,000.00. After this summers rebuild I am less than confident in the motor.
Option 1) Buy a new CVO and spend $45,000.00 for a bike that will probably spend many weeks at the dealer with warranty concerns ( Past experience ) and still have only one bike.
Option 2) Trade it in on a slightly used late model CVO spending $15-20,000.00 and have a bike with a paint design I probably would never be happy with and still have only one bike.
Option 3) Buy another 2005 with low miles for a backup bike for $15,300.00.
Option #3 is what we did this past week, less than 22k miles, all accessories there, plus chrome inner, 2006 padded dash, true duals, battery tender, extra set of NEW tires, 2 windshields and more. I believe we made a great choice.
