I could not have been happier with my ‘09 CVO Ultra. Added mods to the bike to make it right for me, corrected the issues, maintained it meticulously and enjoyed 10 years and 37K miles of trouble free, comfortable long distance road trips. Planned on keeping “Ruby” for a long time to come. But at this years NYC Motorcycle Show in January, a Mako Shark fade Road Glide CVO caught my eye. Couldn’t get that bike off my mind. So a few weeks ago, just to pass some time, visited a few New York / Long Island area HD dealers. Prices ranged from $3000 over list, to the deal I eventuality went for, which was well below MSRP, no freight, no dealer prep, and best of all, a trade-in number that I would have a had a real difficult time getting if sold privately (for the ‘09 CVO Ultra). As the dealer said, “would not have been interested in the ‘09 if it was not a CVO”.
May I add that this CVO RG is an awesome bike right out of the dealer, bone stock. Oh I’m sure there will be some issues. We know that as Harley owners. But as always, we will discover them, correct them, tweak the bike to our liking and enjoy the hell out of the ride. Been doing exactly that for a whole bunch of years, and God willing still got some great rides and brotherhood ahead.
Ride safe out there everyone,
Tom P.
