And we all know Chip's point of view... ;D
Any thoughts? What say you?
Thanks,

OK, my time is drawing near. While my SEUC² is running perfect and has brought many happy smiles, it's time to start seriously looking. My 7 year ESP is due to expire in mid December. So I'm torn with trading it in on a '14 or holding on (and gambling) for one more year. Gary (Fired00d :pumpkin:) firmly believes in holding on to a good thing. And we all know Chip's point of view... ;D So with these thoughts in the back of my mind I decided to ride down to HD of Palm Beach for Demo Days today. I started on a Sportster Fourty Eight. Linda is in class today & tomorrow getting her M/C license. :orange: So needless to say, I just had to take one for the team & try it out. I'm so glad I don't ride a Sportster everyday and admire those who do! Next up was a Sand Camo colored Fat Bob. Extremely comfortable saddle. Dyna's just aren't my cup of tea.
Finally, the last ride of the day was a blue CVO™ Limited. By now I knew the roads that we were going to take so I was familiar with them and could concentrate more on the bike. I like it. BUT...
I have some major questions that no one has been able to answer for me. I tried looking here but didn't really find the answers.
First and foremost, what is the difference between a CVO™ Limited and what would have been the next Screamin Eagle Ultra Classic #9 ? Was it just that they wanted a change of name? ...I know the 110" is now liquid cooled and I have gone over most of the new features.
Talk to me about this infotainment center. I rode for about 30 minutes and was only able to find the volume & how to change an FM radio station. Is the CB an accessory? I'm assuming that the fader and such is just buried a little deeper in the programing? Tell me about the GPS. Who makes it? Can we download POI's into it? Or is it like the Mercedes Benz where they allow you to upload information but for a fee? At first glance it didn't look like a Garmin so I guess I'll be learning a whole new platform here.
In conclusion, I liked it a lot. So much so, that I might go demo it again tomorrow. The pipes sounded great right out of the box. The fairing vent was nice until it started to rain. Yes, the water will get in. I missed not having the gloveboxes but that's not that big of a deal.
Any thoughts? What say you?

...
Go ride it again and see if they will give you a quick walk through of the info system and let you play with it a bit.
Hope this helps some
On the infotainment center if ya start from the home screen and go thru setup (top right) everything is turned on/off from there. Front forks are amazing...BUT ya gotta have air in the rear ones to get the whole pic (rode mine for a week before figgered that one out) I've bout decided to put the Garmin 665 for sale as this unit once radar/weather/traffic was activated is AWESOME. Guys that plan to the enth degree won't like only 9 "waypoints " in a route, but I think there's a few work arounds to that. I think this scoot outta the crate FAR exceeds the 2010 CVO all tricked out. The guniea pig in me hopes the potential ECM/tune issues should be soon resolved and the possibility exists that the ones puking water could be related to those issues. And Blue ones are AWESOME!
Chip, do I still need the Bitubo's in the rear?
