Is It Just Me?..........The 2013 CVO Road King
« on: September 02, 2012, 08:31:43 AM »

The one bike I regret selling the Tequillia Sunrise SG but really like the comfort of the 2011 Ultra. The one bike I regret NOT purchasing the Hot Citris 2012 CVO SG. I started with a Road King Classic and really like that bike. Easy to ride and comfortable. I have not seen the burgundy 2013 color in person, but feel that it might evoke the same excitment of colors that do it for me. I'm surprised by the lack of activity from the 2013 King. Am I missing something? If we can't have a CVO SG, why not the CVO Road King? I'm excited for the upcoming delivery of the new King.

Not a fan of the Batwing bikes, I aways wanted a street glide, until I rode one.  Love the Road Glide, and am keeping my Skunk.

Debated between the 13 CVO RG and 13 CVO RK. 

Chose the 13 Anniversary color Road King.  I am getting pretty excited about it, I have always liked the road king. 

I too am surprised there is not more buzz about the CVO King.  Seems to me it is the most versatile of all the touring bikes.  Use to swear it would be the bike I got when I moved to a touring frame bike.  Well, it wasn't it was a Road glide, then another.  So I am looking forward to the King for day trips and local riding.

Saw one last Thursday, looked pretty nice to me. Don't buy new bikes tho. Let someone else take the first bite depreciation wise. Too many CVO owners keep bikes for 3-5 years and don't ride them. Makes for nice choices for those of us who are patient.

I've had two new Road King Classics, an 06 and an 08.  really like my 11 cvo street glide.  if I take another plunge, it may be a road glide.  Never ridden one but from all the favorable feedback, really want to ride one.  The 13 cvo road king doesn't get me excited.  In my mind, RKs have that old school look.  The 13 looks like a street glide wannabe.

Had my 09 for 2 years 8 months, trade it with over 42K on it.  My 8 month old 12 has 15K on it, and I was out of the country four months I have owned it.  It will get traded when it has mid 40K on it.

The 13 King I plan to keep.

The Anniversary model is disappointing......for $40k, just doesn't do it for me.  :nixweiss:

My first Harley was a 99 RKC.  I REALLY miss that bike and after trying the Crossbones and not coming to terms with what I'm looking for in a day tripper/around town two up bike, I want the new CVO AE RK.....badly.  Selling my Crossbones now with the hopes of picking up the RK later in the year.  I like the thought of the luxuries from my SEUC on a RK.  I always wished my RKC had lowers in the winter and tunes.  Problem solved.  I like all three color choices too.  I'm excited about the new CVO AE RK and I think others will be also once they see it in person.

Oh, the couple of us who have posted aren't the only ones.  The one at my local dealer is already sold.

I love my new 13 SERK. Never getting rid of her. The anniv colors are cool and the windshield is growing on me!  Once I get it tuned I'll love it even more :mango:

Had my Anniversary model (#22) delivered Saturday. I'm recovering from some cervical spinal fusion and won't be able to take it out for another week or two. But I am healthy enough to have replaced the headlight to one of the new LED units. I can't wait to get this thing out on the street.

I like the RK's. If I could only have one bike it would be a RK. They are very versatile as they can be a Hot Rod around town and with an aftermarket fairing a nice long distance rider. I like what the West Coast guys are doing with them.  :bananarock:

I don't think that is terrible considering a base model bike with cruise, color, wheels, security is somewhere around 21K.  :apple:

That makes it nice when you like all three color options.  :mango:
