Glad I got the SKUNK, 2013's dont compare
« on: August 25, 2012, 10:47:20 PM »

First time in a long time I'm not looking to move in to a new model when they hit the showroom floor.  Easy for me to say since I own one but I dont think the 2013 Road Glides come close to outshining my 2012 Skunk.

Got that right. 2012's were an instant hit. I don't think the '13s come even close to being as nice.

Agreed.  Wouldn't trade my '12 SG for anything.

Hope I still feel the same way in '14, '15,...

I feel teh same about my '09! Will be adding saddlebag amp/speakers (already upgraded to Hawg Wired speakers in fairing & lowers and their 300w amp) and the LED headlights, but other than that, I love my  :bananarock: SERG!

Had an 09 Silver and Titanium that I loved, traded it on the Skunk, no regrets I like the skunk more.

I really like the Orange 13.  Not enough to trade my skunk though.

I am getting a 13, but it is the CVO King in the Diamond Dust anniversary color.

..and I felt the same way about my 01. For the longest time when each years new bikes came out I'd look and think to myself "nope not this year". Then the 09's came out and I seriously considered one, part of the problem was which color. The orange was me, the silver was classy looking, the yellow was no ugly bike either. I threw a few more pennies at my 01 and moved on.

The 12's were/are nice. I do like the skunk. After selling my 01 I was either going to pick up a used 09 or a 12. For me it came down to the price as the 12's were not that much more than a used 09 when the warranty and model year was considered.

The 13's are nicer than the 12's IMO due to the updated parts. I'm an orange fan so the burnt orange trumps the skunk, although not by much.

This is why there is more than one flavor of ice cream!!!! :orange: :carrot: :2vrolijk_21:

I must be in the minority, but I like the '13 color combos....however, being partially OCD, I don't like the fairing "whiskers" sweeping up.  I would have much preferred the fairing stripes to flow with the rest of the bike

I am getting a 13, but it is the CVO King in the Diamond Dust anniversary color.

Don't forget to post the pics when you get the bike Dave.  If you let us East Tennessee boys know when you go pick it up, we can meet you at SMHD and get a lookie see of the new scoot plus maybe a picture or two for the website... :nixweiss:

I am not a big RG fan but my buddy bought the second to last skunk that came through SMHD and I have to tell you, I really like that bike.  It turns heads and haven't seen many on our rides (seen quite a few of the Ruby Red SESG....they are the fastest, you know.. :bananarock: :bananarock:)  Anyway, the other Amigo in our group has the 1982 Tour Glide (with fairing removed) and he went ape over the Roman Gold/Burnt Emerald SESG.  If I can talk him out of another guitar, maybe he will come over to the dark side.... :bananarock:
