In the next tens years or so , more electric vehicles will be out on the road. Whats next the electric Trike CVO :xzqxz: Imagine the cost for that?
The chrome plated extensiion cord alone would cost you $50,000.00.

If you'll indulge a grumpy old man here. (still a couple years away from retirement so I get to see day to day stuff at work). Younger generation doesn't want to ride the way we did when we were younger. Kids today don't even want to drive cars, let alone bikes because if they're driving, they can't be texting their friends, on social media or playing video games on their phone. It is ALL ABOUT THE PHONE with the younger generation. The kids nowadays would rather take an Uber so they can be on their phone, they don't want to be mechanics because they can't be on their phone and if they could avoid work altogether so they could be on their phone, they would. I think that's why the political candidates that want to give away everything for free appeal to kids, so they can stay on their phones. The old school of going from a mini bike to a dirt bike to a street bike to maybe a touring bike is long gone and I think eventually the motorcycle lifestyle will be a sad memory. I think Harley is leading the decline and the other mfg's will follow.
:laugh: Glad you escaped with your bank account intact.
Rather than a CVO, I would rather buy a basic unit and mod it to my needs & desires.
Yep, no doubt they are in trouble...and they know it. Lots of new models coming out to appeal to their "non-base" as they try and build a new base.
Regarding clothing and bling...I know of several dealership (which are in business to make $) that make far more profit off their clothing than they do from bike or part sales.

And therein lies the problem imho. I don't need the Mo-CO. In retrospect, I should have bought the non tour pack Goldwing. Triked it and called it a day.
To those who have purchased a CVO trike congrats and hope you get thousands of miles of fun.But for me its a no go,for 20-25 k difference for my 17 i can do a ton of upgrades that will make my 17 run circles around the 117 plus a ton of bling.
I agree 101%. I've looked at a lot of the CVO bikes. They have ALL the extras for sure. But some of that stuff I wouldn't want. It would be a shame to pay for the CVO model then take stuff off to customize it. To each his own for sure, but if I was into customizing I'd get the cheapest one I could get then upgrade it the way I want it. Mine is an '18 in vivid black. I'm slowly upgrading it to what I want it to be and It isn't taking much. And when did they introduce a white CVO trike? It's not on the web page, but someone posted a video of one. Is that a Canadian model?
sales must be down and I believe they are. He tried to give me his card and I refused, this dealer is pretty good but maybe the owners have said do what you have to get a sale, don't know for sure but it getting toward the end of year.
All for now Trampas
The last time I was at my dealer(a couple weeks ago), they had a white CVO trike on the showroom floor. Just under $52K ($51,999). Something like a $7,000 dealer markup.
well fellas ive been riding for 40 years mostly Harleys I too looked @ cvo trike in white but last year I purchased my 2nd trike . 2018 115th anniversary trike which by no means was it cheap but if we think about it the cvo trike isn't that bad for what you get .so with that said sit back and think what you invested into your current trikes I know me personally $3k in rims and tires , $1k in rear shocks lift kit,$2k in exhaust power adders air filter & tune ....... ,tour pack relocation kits ,arm rest, cup holders , different foot boards ,grips etc... im pretty sure most of us have way more into our trikes then a $50k cvo trike problem with this is there is no resale value you get nothing back in trade ins towards that $50k cvo trike you would have to find someone who is in love with that type of trike as we where if not we lose
