[Wrongway]

Here in Southern California we get a monthly rag called "Friction Zone". I was just sitting here reading the April issue, and what is this, another review of the FLHTCUSE! This one by Neale Bayly, good review, likes the bike (All you have to do is ride one). They gave him a HAZE for the test. But I have a question on a quote in the article, "CVO Director Jim Hoffman tells me that they will produce a total of 12,000 this year, 4,000 in each of the three color choices". Say What? I can't believe they can produce so many. Please tell me it ain't so. P.S.

[The Mysterious Q!]

As long as the money is on the street and people will spend it on there bikes HD will produce a number of bikes that they think they can sell.i don't think their intention was to produce a rare bike in low production numbers it just doesn't make sense for them to tool up .As the years progress I think you will see the numbers of CVO bikes stay the same or increase as demand  increases.Also I think the numbers produced of a certain model will vary based on the popularity of the stripped down "stock" model.Fatboys are very popular ,how many CVO Fatboys were produced? They are in the game to sell bikes ,I don't think they really care if a certain model re sells for a premium because of low production numbers.Thats my 2 cents.  Q [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

I can't remember where I originally read it (HD press release somewhere), but they made these numbers available before the first bikes were built.

I thought it was 4000 total, not 4000 of each color! I think the wording I read was some slick marketing where you could read what you wanted to hear.

[Steve_G]

I have read that 4,000 is the total number of Ultra's to be produced.

[RJ749]

I have read that 4,000 is the total number of Ultra's to be produced.

based on passed years and having seen the CVO line in york i dont think the could possibly produce 12k 4k sound much more likley

[cigarmike]

While speaking with John S. from the warranty dept. last month about...oh, I cant say, wrongway will get mad at me...he said 12k is the total run of CVO's...with about 3500 or so being Ultra's. Not saying anyone else is wrong on the numbers here, just sharing what I heard.

[naitram]

that would make more sense

[bgregston]

So thats 4000 Ultra's, 4000 Fatboys, and 4000 VRods = 12000?

[RJ749]

So thats 4000 Ultra's, 4000 Fatboys, and 4000 VRods = 12000?

Hard to say, but that would be a huge leap in numbers too.

[Tbone]

Hard to say, but that would be a huge leap in numbers too.

That would be a huge leap in numbers from 05.  The H-D website shows (all numbers approx.) 3,400 Fatboys 2,400 VRods 3,500 SEEG's for a total of 9,300.

[naitram]

compare that to the increase from 04 SEEG to 05 SEEG numbers and 12k doesnt sound that far fetched

If moco's going to produce 4000 VRSE's this year, you'll be able to buy one cheap---- this time next year! [smiley=banana.gif]
