Very tempting, as is the new Goldwing.

Oh yes, very close.  And once again, I'm very tempted.  However the hump I have to get over is getting in to payments again (at least for a little while and as low as they might be), spending the $$$ to sit it up just right for me and the fact that this 2013 CVO Ultra Classic has been the most reliable motorcycle I've ever owned.

Ordered mine yesterday. Only thing I don't like about my current one is the connectivity is horrible. To change music on my phone I have to stop, take my glove off, open my phone and change. Now with the TFT screen I won't have to do that. I am bummed there is no Apple play but looking into the BMW app you use it looks ok. Not apple play but just ok.
The local dealer I am getting it from has the current land speed record at Bonneville on a BMW and I had "his guy" tune my current Bagger and it runs insane. Will be first thing I have them do on new bike. Of course nice to not have to worry about warranty with them as well. Burned up a motor on current bike a while ago and no issues getting new one.
Went for that wild paint job they have coming out so hopefully it looks good in person. They are letting me get their first one which is cool

That is a sweet bike.  So is the Wing.  Harley really needs to step up their game on touring bikes.  12 year old frame.

Let me know when you get it Alan.  Now that I'm back from my east coast journey, I'll take a ride over their for the weekend so we can get some riding in.

I have been looking at the 1600B or GA for a year as a second bike.  When I saw the RT1250 I fell in love, as predicted I knew the 1600B/GA would get the digital display - did not disappoint.  I will get one within the next year or so, after riding one (2018) all I can say is WOW!  The colorr for 2022 are super disappointing, no silver, blue or white....so black it is I guess!

In 4 weeks my 2022 BMW 1250 GS adventure will be in. I looked at the Harley Pan American and determined the BMW was much better. We will see....

Well another CVO owner here who took the plunge and added a new tool to the shed. Been after this very bike for just over 14 months as someone else beat me to it off the showroom floor in late November 2020. When I saw it posted for sale on FB Marketplace I was all to happy to snap it up. Still bone stock, under 3k miles in showroom condition.
