I bought a 2009 Street Glide last November and I'm enjoying it more than I had expected. At the time I was fairly convinced this would be my last bike for a very long time. I've said that every year since 2002 and at one point had 3 bikes in the garage. After reshuffling the deck, I made the decision that a new 09 S/G would satisfy all my desires.
Enter the 2010 CVO S/G, and it starts all over again. I actually had myself convinced that I didn’t have to have it especially considering the cost. All things considered, I still couldn’t resist asking questions about it. Now I have an offer that seems to good to walk away from. The Dealer where I had bought my last two Harley’s has offered to take my 09 S/G on trade and I give them 9K for a new CVO S/G. When I do the math it seems like a very good deal.
I own my 09 outright and would finance 9 or 10K which would be approximately $190.00 a month. So I asked myself, would I ever be in a better position to take advantage of acquiring a motorcycle like this again? The answer was no.
Is this a good deal or not?

I would have taken that deal on the spot. Unless you have thousands on extras on your bike now. jmo

[MIKEYTEE]

You have to ask?

[DICKW]

Sounds good to me, go for it.

[ultrafxr]

Is this really a tough decision.     I thought not.  Go for it.   

[Boatman]

As everyone stated, sounds like you are being treated fairly.

[Ultra Villa]

Go for it!!

Lemme be sure I understand this, you have a bike for a year and you like it and you're looking to pay $9K for the same bike that is 12 months newer. To me that means it cost you $9K to ride your bike for a year and that seems like a lot.

Did the MSRP on the 2010 SG go up a lot? Are there a ton of new features/capabilities on the new SG or are you just enamored by the new bike smell? Did you put on a ton of miles on your '09 thus lowering the cost/mile of ownership to somewhere below $1/mile?

Far be it from me to tell a guy how to spend his money but calling it a "very good deal" seems questionable.

Perhaps there is something I am not understanding... there usually is.

What is the difference in the list $ of the CVO 2010 compared to what you payed $ for the 09?  Subtract one from the other and see if you can justify the 9K less the milage on the 09.

Put another way, my current bike is a standard 2009 Street Glide. The Dealership is offering me a 2010 Screaming Eagle for my bike and $9,000. If I recall I paid 22K out the door for my bike. That said, they are giving me exactly whet I paid for my bike 11 months ago and asking MSRP (31K) for the 2010 CVO Street Glide. That's how I see it.
The reason it's not sitting in my garage right now is because the CVO S/G won’t be in until November at which they said they would call me about three days before it arrives. I was told to “be there” when I get the call.
All I have on my bike is a set of Vance & Hines slip-on’s, S/E Air Cleaner and a Download. I’ll keep the V&H slip-on’s and put the stock exhaust back on before I give them back the bike.
I posted this because in some cases I've found out later that people somehow manage to buy bikes under MSRP; that may not be so frequent when it comes to limited productions.

It's a no-brainer in my book. Go for the new CVO SESG and don't look back.

It's a good deal.........................................Buy the bike

It will cost you 9 grand in extras to try to get it to CVO......... and it will still be a street glide.

Looks like you found the style of bike you really like....now take the jump and get it CVO style.

YES IT IS A NO BRAINER............JMO

[BG]

I would get the CVO in a heartbeat for that kind of deal....

He is going from a "regular" 09  Streetglide to a 10 SE Streetglide.  For $9K difference, he is getting all of his money back on the 09..  If this is the way it is, I would do the trade.

[martys]

I would say make the deal today on paper!!!   So you don't miss out  :nixweiss:on the 2010 when it comes in in November.  If you don't you may be kickin your a$$
