Boy, that would have helped about 53 posts ago... :-\

but I did not ask you for your opinion on whether I should paint it or not.
and I get all this BS for simply saying I was "TOYING" with the idea?

Good point Rob!
We (all of us) were just trying to keep you from making a big mistake (IMHO).
But since you made it clear you were not asking for our concern about your well being, I went back and read your original post and answered.
And to get totally off topic, I have been toying about trading in 103T's SERG and SEEG on an 09 SEUC in red for Don!
But only if he promises to leave the paint alone!

How old will you be in 37 years?

do the math on a 35K investment for 37 years even at 6% and see what it is worth? no insurance, maintenance, storage or batteries needed.

I will bet that the the CVO return would not even be close.

and that is assuming cars and motorcycles appreciate the same, which they do not.

how much is a 1999 FXR the first CVO worth today?

Do not fool yourselves, these are not good investments, they are toys that do not depreciate as much as other toys like boats

(now there is a bad investment)


Why do I get the feeling that you're shouting at us all the time ?

Anyway,  I'm not saying that buying a CVO Harley-Davidson is a wise investment, simply that these vehicles will see a strong uptick in their value as the years go by. From what little I've looked at as regards the demographics of this site, the vast majority of us are in our 50's. So long about the time we're no longer able to keep the bikes upright and either pass them on to some lucky grandkid or sell them at auction, they should fetch good money.

Thank you!


How much would this bike be worth if it had custom wheels, flame paint job and extended bags?
Not much in todays market!

 :2vrolijk_21:



Chip,
you are making my point exactly........that Road Glide is not worth as much as when it was new.

bad investment.......neat toy........

And you missed mine and BB's point completely.

I didn't buy my SERG as an investment but the value of it will rise as it does on anything produced in limited numbers!

I've got $750 worth of chrome dodads and accessories on my bike that would bring a small fortune right now on ebay.

Anybody out there with the guts to admit they put a Mickey Mantle rookie card on the fender strut of their bicycle with a clothspin so it would make motor sounds against the spokes  ?

Here is a question to the membership that would be interesting.

Has anyone made money (anyone) that has bought a CVO bike in the last 10 years new made a single dime doing it?

I am talking about people that rode the bike not ones selling deposits.

Not a Mickey Mantle, but I did go through a few Rod Carew rookie cards in the spokes of my Stingray.

             I'm sorry if it seems we're dissing you brother. We're not actually. We're disagreeing based on a limited knowledge of your personal situation and what we see as common sense in this situation.  If your annual income is 7 figures and you buy these bikes with pocket change then by all means do whatever makes you happy dude. Buy a couple and go nuts with one of them. But if you're a working stiff and financing even 50% of the bike then we're just trying to say " don't do it bro, it ain't worth it "

B B
       PS
           We can't argue politics anymore, we've got to have something to have a good debate about.

I can appreciate what you are saying. I guess I got a little miffed because I thought I came up with a good idea to check some paint schemes on my bike. I PROBABLY will never touch the paint. But I was toying with the idea and genuinely wanted my friends opinions. I guess the most hurtful (for lack of a better word) thing for me was to get lectured from my "parents" about what a poor idea it was based pretty much on trade in or resell value. I don't think any of us would be able to afford these bikes had we listened to that common logic back in the day when we were excited about going out into the world and "making our mark" on it.

 I for one will never (I hope not anyways) be held hostage by the reason that I "have" to do something a certain way just because thats how its always been done. As long as I am not hurting anyone physically, mentally or emotionally I probably will take the road less traveled. Its what got me to this point in my life (not as far as you evidently because I did finance more than 50% of my bike, no disrespect at all intended) but I have raise four kids, am getting ready to send one to college this next year, and have 3 grandsons and 2 more on the way. I have been to ALL of their sports games, no matter what time of day or night they were or what town they were in, watched my girls win National Cheerleading Championships in another State, camped my ass off, and made many, many memories that my kids still talk about. My point in all of the above is not to toot my horn but to let you know that I do things for the JOY of it and not the Resell of it.
