I won't buy a new one because I like the one I have.
Yes, the newer ones have bigger motors and no doubt go faster, but I'm happy with my 2006 CVO Ultra. And make no mistake, I WANTED the 2006 because it had the venerable CVO 103 engine. Too many others saw nothing but issues with their 110s and I wanted no part of that.
Yes my Harley bike is old and has a 112k on it, but I had the motor rebuilt at 83k by Jim at Metal Dragon and it's been rock solid for me. The main reason I prefer my 2018 GoldWing these days is the modern amenities of reverse gear and height adjustable windscreen. And as I have gotten older, the reverse makes all the difference. You would think that HD would acknowledge it's aged customer base with reverse. And it's not like It can't be done because it's offered on the trike and by a host of aftermarket vendors.
That and I think the prices of all the Harleys are just crazy overpriced. I'm sure the economy, mismangement and the tariffs have something to do with that, but that's a lot of money. Speaking only for myself I'll keep the bikes I have and use my money to go on tours, overseas trips and vacations.
