First CVO, Cant Wait for it to Arrive
« on: April 20, 2015, 09:52:57 AM »

Been following threads for information about a year.  Saturday I asked my favorite Middle TN dealer, Bumpus in Murfreesboro, for a price on a Red CVO RGU which they were showing on their inventory site.  Had priced Cool Springs, Columbia and Boswell's earlier and Bumpus beat them all by just a little. Trading my 4 year old Ultra Limited in after 32,000 miles.  After a bit of discussion price was acceptable and put a deposit down.  Bike is due in, in the next week.  They said they had a prior deposit on it but buyer had changed to a different bike which was in stock.  I really like this dealer as they have an acceptable service department, outstanding parts and accessories, fair sales and 12-15% off parts and accessories all the time.  Could probably have done a bit better over at Knoxville or Maryville but really wanted to stay closer to home to deal with any issues.

I know "This Thread is Worthless Without Pics".  I'll post a photo when I get it home, hopefully this week.

Good deal!  Looking forward to the pics.  As for not wanting to go to K'ville or Maryville and stay local, I completely understand.  While you may (or may not) have received a better deal, keeping local does have it's benefits if your local dealer is a good one.  Congrats on the new scoot.  K'ville West and Clinton Hwy have one each of the Burgundy Blaze.  Beautiful bike.... :2vrolijk_21:

Picked bike up yesterday and photos will be up eventually however it was getting to be late afternoon.  1st impression was the Burgandy Blaze is really pretty in the afternoon sun.  Photos do not do it justice.  The 3 first impressions were the steering was significantly lighter than my Ultra Limited.  Found I was moving around in the lane without meaning to.  2nd, the exhaust and valve sound was significantly less than my 103.  Guess this may increase as I get some miles on it.  3rd, I'm looking more over the windshield than expected and getting a good bit of wind in the face.  This is not bad in good weather or around town but may look into a recurve or taller shield for winter and travel.  Also find I like the bars and seating position so will leave that alone for now.

I'm glad most of your fist impressions are good on the bike.  I have been really happy with mine.

Beautiful.  Try experimenting with the vents open and/or closed. I find that leaving the upper vent open works very well. With all three of them to open, I get a gentle breeze at freeway speeds.
