You guys are right... the 09 SERG is a better looking bike.
However, I like all the geeeeezer stuff on a touring bike (CB, Tourpak, footboards, lowers,...). I really wish they would have put the extended bags and rear fender of the 09 on the 11. And, looks like the 11 sets a little higher than the 09... I really like the low look of the 09.
So, I'm riding an 08 SEUC right now. It's a great bike and looks sharp, but it just ain't as sexy as the 11 RG Ultra, IMO. I have been lusting after a RG for about the past year or so. I'm leaning hard toward getting the Rio Red 11 SERG Ultra.
I haven't rode a RG much, but everything I hear leads me to beleive that I will like the frame-mounted fairing.
Went by Harley World in OKC this morning. No 11 CVO's there yet, but got to talking with a salesman there.
I have tried to buy a bike in OKC for years. This salesman helped me remember why I have not bought in OKC.
I told him that I was going to buy... he was ready to take a deposit on the spot.
I told him to "hold his horses" and ask him how much $$$$$. He said they get $3K over MSRP for CVO's.
I said, "Well, just wanted to give you a chance... sorry we can't do business".
