What would make you pull the trigger on a new CVO HD in the future?

Ok, I may be accused of being sacrilegious, but inquiring minds want to know.

I know several of you have purchased 2011's or have them on order (and bless your little heart for that), but for those not buying a 2011... What would make you pull the trigger on a new CVO HD in the future?

I seriously considered buying a 2011, until I started reading the same old crap.... Same Song, Second Fifth Verse.  I already have an 08 with many of the same problems the 11's have.  Each model year seems to have a unique issue or three, but the common theme, to me anyway, seems to be the 110 motor.  And based on info put out by the MoCo themselves, they have cheapened the quality even more to save a dollar, rather than make improvements or fix known issues.

I decided to stick with the 08 for now.  I own multiple scooters.... only one HD right now, and likely to stay that way until the MoCo comes up with some better ideas.

So, what would make you pull the trigger on a new CVO HD in the future?

I could not agree more, I would pull the trigger If I was able to get one for Free.

The same thing that motivated me to buy my 09 SERG. I totaled  my 05.

[Screamin]

I'll buy another one when I get the urge. I've got two great ones now. For all of the bitchin issues I still dig the hell out of them and intend to ride H. D. until I've got to hang up my leathers for good.

If they would bring out a Heritage Springer CVO!

Simple answer for me.... "When I need one".

When it comes to vehicles I've gotten over having the latest/greatest (and when it comes to what has come out lately from the MoCo sometimes the latest ain't the greatest )... my cage ('00 Yukon w/58K miles) is 10 years old (still looks like it's a couple years old) and I don't plan on replacing it until needed.

I have never owned more the one motorcycle at a time, have had several cars at one time when I was younger but when I had them seemed like one would sit all the time and not get used.

Today my answer is Nothing!

But a used 06 or earlier, In a heartbeat!

                        Said before my next HD will have to be water cooled.

I must have gotten the only good one made in '10...If ya haven't ridden a '10 or '11, the new frame, suspension tires, etc. are differant like nite and day over the '08.  I thought my 03 FLHT was the bomb (and it was) then traded to '08 Ultra to get ABS etc. and thought it was the bomb (and it was!) I wouldn't trade my CVO 110 for any of those back.  Did the exhaust, intake, dyno on all 3 and this one runs like a scalded dog and STILL gets great mileage on the long haul. KNOCK WOOD.  I love my scooter!

Ditto, that exactly what I did and plan to do when this one is worn out.  Chip, see you next week.

Do I really have to say anything at all here?

MaMa said if I pull the trigger on a new bike, she's going to pull the trigger on me. Enough said. !!!!   

[mrmagloo]

Water-cooled and Balanced motor in a SEUC that puts out at near or over 120ft/tq. Even then, I'd probably wait a year or two so they can work out the bugs.

Until then, I'll just run my 2006 SEUC until the wheels fall off.

as I usually ride some 20.000 m a year I and got my present bike July 2009 I will be looking for a replacement somewhen in early 2012. If you don't sell Harley's around 50.000 m you have to keep them until they break because the resale value of bikes over that magic number is just a bad joke

With the amount of miles that you put on it you will need a new one in 2045!
