Haze,
haven't been here much for a while, but all I can say, is that I was hooked on the 'look' of that bike, with that new 200 tire, yep same colour as yours! as soon as I saw it. Those screamin graphics/colours for '06, the best they have offered yet in my opinion, and I agree, that copper top look is nothing more than BORING for this year.
Everyone who sees this bike is amazed by it, and most people out there haven't a clue what it is or what a CVO is either, including some Harley owners!I'm 165 lbs., have done NO mods, except dealer installed 6 speed, and cosmetics/lighting on the front, so I'm thinking the bike goes pretty good with my skinny ass on it!
The seat I thought I was going to get redone, isn't too bad for my boney ass either. However, I am tempted to get one of those trick seats with the slick leather and graphics treatments.
Here's what you all in the USA, don't know, our Canadian $ traded about .85 to yours when I bought, recently hit $1.10 back to down about par @ $1.00. My value was on my purchase because of this cost me about $15,000. and now maybe more, because of raping exchange rates at that time.
So what? You think everything you play and trade with is going to make you money? Sometimes yes, sometimes no, sometimes it doesn't matter if it's a hobby, because tastes and interests change,
I almost passed because I could not get this bike in this colour from any dealer in Canada until Davie's in Toronto north called me about a trade offer they got on a CVO Vrod for this bike, they knew I was motivated and jumped on it.
Don't care about the value now, up or down, gonna drive you nuts if that's what you care about.
I have a another bike, smaller for fun and performance., and an old hot rod, so I just want to say
enjoy! Enjoy your toys. Life is too short!
And don't sweat it.
This year coming, 2008, may be a VERY upsetting year for both of our countries, in so far as, losing more industry, economic problems, energy costs, dollar values, housing industry tanking, derivative/subprime mess, yes it's gonna be a ROUGH year going forward.
If your puppy is paid for, enjoy it and don't worry. Otherwise, maybe different story.

And, uh, what KONA said, totally agree.
