I see water-cooled in Harley's future--all bikes eventually. To keep up with the Jones', they'll need more performance-more heat-more efficient cooling. Has anyone heard the V-rod? Does it have the Harley rumble sound?

Sounds like a stock HD a little weak,  but hay those aftermarket people make lots of pipes to liven it up.  And it is fairly impressive out of the box to ride.

I have been reading all these posted write-ups regarding the Screamin

OK...so I was bored today and wondering what to do while the kids took naps and the wife ran to the store

[JCZ]

return2mow (where did that user name come from?) that's a very interesting post that I've wondered about several times.

The manager of our local dealership told me that they did this, too and the bike can't be built for what it sells for.

You would get several K back from selling the 88" motor that you would replace with buying the 103" but then you'd have to add the labor, too.  And.........side by side identical, the "built" bike isn't going to have the same value or warranty that the stock limited edition bike will have.  

We are going to be riding a very special motorcycle!  Not a Jesse James or OCC but a genuine HD limited edition and .........the comfort that JJ or OCC can't offer up.

I read an article the other day that talked about the softail platform was the most widely popular and sold bike in HD's history but now it's the touring platform.  I'm not surprised.

Yah my dealer has sold all the touring bikes he is suppose to get in the first month.  He has lots of other bikes but no touring models.

Warm fuzzy, I do think we are getting some good "Bang for the Buck" with this bike!!! Cheers to us all!  [smiley=beerchug.gif]

First try at this.  [smiley=confused5.gif] I am the origonal owner or a 2000 FXR4 and have always loved this bike. I have put 12,000 great miles on it since new from New York on Sept 11 to Gatlenberg TN. for the best riding I have ever been on (Deals Gap). This is the perfect bike around town or long hauls for me but my lovely wife has started going on my rides ever more. Not all bad but need we need more room. I dont know if I should sell or keep it. The local dealer say to keep it. It will be worth alot some day? My question is why keep it 20 years??? just to sell it later. I cant justify having 2 $20,000 plus bikes. any help on the this would be great from the bike I think I would better fit my needs.

ttk1 welcome to the site, we appreciate having you join us.  Pull up a chair and a   [smiley=drink.gif] and join us for awhile.

Your dilema......hmmmmm??  If you're not sure go rent an Ultra Classic and a Road Glide for a day each.  But to save you some time, go ahead and buy your "For Sale" sign before you go for your ride.  Soon as you return, your only question will be "which model?".  

Then I suggest that you make it one of the CVO editions....either one of the SEEGs, that you see here or the Road Glide model.  You will not be sorry......I guarantee it! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

[ttk1]

Hey Thanks for the invite.
Ive have rode both an ultra and also both roadkings out of the touring family. The main problem I am having is do I want to get a second bike (cost!!!)or sell it for a new one. The stock bikes cant compare to the cutoms and I do not think  I can still get the custom with out paying for it.  ahh decisions, decisions.

[JCZ]

OK ttk you've had about 24 hours to figure it out.....what have you decided? LOL [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

Greetings

I found this web site with a few extra pics of an '04 orange and black SEEG, for those of us who do not have one yet. Just something else for us to look at until the magical day. If anyone knows of any other sites with more than just the standard HD released pics we all see everywhere let me know.

I posted some more pictures this evening, on my homepage, of the Cobalt blue 04 SEEG that I took in Milwaukee and some of the 04 Harley F-250 4x4 truck that I took at our sponsors showroom.

Go to the top right hand corner and click on "Homepage" and then click on JCZ.

Well I went to the local dealer to see if it was still posible  to get a and they thougt I was pretty funny so I looked at new stanards and classics. $20k for the standards and $23K for the classics out the door. So for now I think I will keep my FXR4 and see what CVO does next year. Oh I think they wanted 10%down on top of that. Well at least  I still riding.
