No, you don't see very many of them and I think that's a good thing. Sure do notice them when they're there though.

Here's the letter from Harley!

2001 SERG

Total production                                                                   1707

Sinister Blue Pearl, Diamond Ice & States Blue Pearl   849

Vivid Black, Platinum Silver and Charcoal Satin Brite   858

This letter should answer any questions about production numbers.

See attached!

Interesting.  Almost a perfect split.  I think there was some speculation on here somewhere that the charcoal ones were produced in significantly lower numbers than the blue ones.

So to ask a different question.

Does anyone have any idea what the attrition rate is on these bikes. (meaning CVO's)

For example if it's 10% per year for the 01 Blue SERG's that means in

02 there were only 764 left

03 there were only 687 left

04 there were only 618 left

05 there were only 557 left

06 there were only 501 left

06 there were only 451 left

07 there were only 406 left

and for 08 there are only 365 left?

Is 10% a good number or is it high or low?

What's your opinion?

Then comes the question of those that are remaining have they been butchered, custom painted, motor swapped or whatever?

I remember reading that also but per the letter, that's not the case!

dOOd that's not what I mean.
Mine will have a painted inner fairing but if someone wanted it stock I have the inner fairing not painted.
If someone wanted mine with the stock pipes, well, they are hanging from the ceiling.
Mine could go completely back to factory original because I have the stock parts.
That's my point!
And for the record, mine can be had factory original if someone wanted to pony up 75K big ones.
Will that ever happen?
I hope not, but how could I turn 75 down.
Am I trying to sell it, NOPE.
But 75 gets my attention!

Ok, now I gotcha. They could have mine w/all the stock parts (in boxes) if they wanted to pay 75K for it. Like you I'm not trying to sell it, but 75K would buy me another scooter.

Attrition rates are different for different vehicles. Obviously a production model Road King is going to disappear at a higher rate than a SERK. Funny thing, while I continually see crashed SERKs, SEEGs, and SEUCs, I don't believe I've ever seen a wrecked SERG. Now it may just be where I live and the dealerships I nose around out back of, but it does seem odd. Anybody remember seeing a wrecked SERG at your local stealer ?  Have we ever had a member post of wrecking one here on the site ?  hmmmmmmmmmmm

SERG's are such great handling bikes that they don't wreck!
Stolen maybe but not many wrecked!

Oh crap.  That's bad juju if ever such a thing existed.  I'm now crossing lines, casting runes, buying rabbit's feet and rubbing magic breasts whenever the opportunity presents itself in an attempt to ward off the evil on your behalf.

That's what I was thinking last night when B B made his post.  I was going to say "that's bad juju," but I wasn't sure if saying it was bad juju would be double-bad juju, so I didn't say anything.   (If that makes sense.)

[SPIDERMAN]

My juju's just fine.

I can get several women to testify to that

 A fellow here in town totaled a red SERG a couple of years back. He still rides but the bike is history.
