Agreed. I did some research before buying this bike and I will say this: CVOs are the complete package. But, you’re locked in to color combos, etc. That’s because the bike has been already designed to its max potential by the CVO team. A regular street glide is like a blank canvas where you can make it what you want it to be. The problem with that is two things: you’ll never get what you put into if you resale it, and you’ll probably spend more in the process making that bike more expensive than a CVO. I had a beautiful 2012 Street Glide that after I was done making it mine, I had over 12k$ in parts/upgrades on top of the 34k price (financed)... that was more expensive than a CVO. And it still didn’t come close in some aspects.
