#2020CVO #HarleyDavidson #CVOLimited - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
It's been a long time since a garage door mechanism was wired to work with the Harley door opener. I think they have a bunch of them at HQ to get rid of. Also, no more Sirius/XM unless you want to cough up $400 for the "option". Second rider headset is now an option, as well.
Really? Options on the top of the line bike?
Anyway, I ride mine in comfort. Best seat ever. AND you get a CB radio!
Good points. I’m gonna pin your comment. Yes no XM Sirius radio and only one headset. Yes you get the CB radio
That is mind blowing that Harley decided not to include Sirius and only 1 headset. Idk what someone would do with 1 headset. 🤷🏿♂️ that would force one to buy the other headset. Hopefully Harley will include them again in the 2021 bikes 🤷🏿♂️
Hey , theres something that isnt anywhere online / on forums - the difference between an ultra limited and cvo limited .. what extras are there on the cvo over the regular ultra limited . Would be nice to see it.!
Who uses a cb radio? ... that’s 70’s
@@MarkR973 Actually for bike to bike and group ride communications the cb radio is a great feature. I use it all the time on my 08 Ultra. HD should have kept it as part of the radio package.
Another Video Filmed and Edited by Nick. Let me know what you guys think.
I think you guys lucked out with Nick, he takes great pictures and video.
Best thing that happened to the channel and IG page tbh.
Matt you might get to retire early
Great job Nick! Really like the change up, I do like both views. He's also about my height and like his perspective. My Ltd is not quite tippy toes, but never put my foot down on the low side if the ground is uneven!

I ride around town & take it on long trips!!!
The CVO Limited is an EVERYDAY bike.
Don't fool yourself folks. You can bar hop & travel long distance on this bad bitch. I love mine!! 20k miles on my 2019 CVO Limited. (within 12 months)
7ludig I always wondered how many people use their UL CVO everyday like the road glide and street glide I agree, if I spend 40K plus on a bike I’d ride it every chance I got!
I like my electra glide standard. I have never had a CVO anything. You probably wouldn't want to go back.
@@jeffreyponting9524
I've had 3 now.
You can't go back after you get one.
@@williamreeves4304
I have a 2018 BMW K1600GTL for hauling ass & tearing up the curves; however, most of time is spent on the HD. Most folks would be surprised how well they handle. (even fully loaded!)
I bought my 2020 cvo limited LAST YEAR. It's going to be a everyday bike and Las Vegas trip in the summertime. Cheers from ALberta!
Absolute beauty. Harley’s paint, fit and finish are the best, bar none. Nice work gents. Life’s short, just buy the bike!
Good job guys. Always an event when a new review comes from Laidlaws and from what has gradually has become Matt, Nick, and Andrew - Keep em coming guys. Informative. balanced, well edited, and what you need to know to understand what these bikes are all about. Thanks! already looking forward to the next video.
Great video as always, you have the best H-D ride reviews on TH-cam by far IMHO, keep it up 👍🏻
A close buddy of mine just picked up his CVO Limited last week. Super awesome bike. Posted him this video already. Well done again Matt, cheers from Australia 👍
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Another great video. I was waiting for this video.
Great job guys. I have the ‘20 CVO Ultra in blue. Love it! I live in the PACNW and wouldn’t have a bike without the lowers. Help keep feet and lower legs dry and warmer in the winter. Yes, we ride year round. I’m 5’8 and at first tip toeing the bike was a little scary. A cheaper fix rather than lower shocks is put lug soles on your boots. Adds just the right amount so now I’m almost flat footed at most stops plus gives you some more gripping power on wet surfaces. I had a detachable tour pack on my 15 Ultra and what a PIA getting it on and off. I bought the Ultra for the comfort on long trips and the storage. I think the detachable is wasted money. It has more power than I need but, I still did a stage 1. Big thumbs up on that. It’s a wonderful daily ride, whether a bunch of stops or just out to lunch and back absolutely no complaints. First long ride will be in May to Medford. About 1200 miles over 4 days. Looking forward to it.
Great video and beautiful bike ! Keep up the good work Nick. Ride safe out there God bless
I like the old saying that if you’ve parked your bike and don’t look back as you walk away, you bought the wrong bike! I absolutely love my 2017 Ultra . Thanks for another great video fellas.
Very true. Enjoy the ultra. Thanks for the comment
Had to lol at the camping comment 😂 50k for a bike and bubba is going camping with the little lady... I dont think so Tim.... for the wife and myself this is by far the most comfortable bike for travel.
That Sand Dune color scheme is beautiful.
And, I'm a big fan of a comfortable seat.
Love you review vids and yr model changes. Ty
I really appreciate what you guys do Matt and I don’t disparage anyone making a living and or believing in their products but in today’s economy with everything being overpriced I don’t see how the MoCo is justifying their shrinking market share vs prices stance. I bought my 1st H-D at 17 and I’m 58 now, I’ve never bought one off the showroom floor because it has never made sense to me in a practical way. I bought a 2019 FLHT this past December that had a little over 2k miles on it for $13,500 from a Honda dealer in Fl and I live in deep East Tx. The bike had the service work done by the initial owner and is sweet. I want the MoCo to survive and thrive man I just don’t want another AMF period or worse and it’s looking more and more like the “Nose In The Air “ attitude in the boardroom is driving it straight down that path. I really hope someone from the “Family’s” wakes up and takes control before it’s too late. Nice bike.
I share your enthusiasm and love for the brand. Just curious, what makes you think the members of the board have their noses in the air? Prices are what they are because of the product you get. The quality far exceeds that of the competitors which is why people love HDs and buy them. Take that away and lower the price and it’s no longer a H-D.
CVO paint became so awesome. Even car companies are quietly watching them. Awesome video too!
That is a find looking bike you guys did a good review on it I wasn’t worried about the audio I just wanted to see the bike lol 👍
I absolutely luv my regular 2017 Limited! I can only imagine what this bike is like to own! Nice 👍
THE VALVE STEM!!! Hell yeah. Make that a standard thing please! Great job Nick. Keep it up man
Good video Matt. You explained everything very well.
Thanks man. Thanks for watching.
Great video Matt always enjoy yours vids I did purchase a 2020 Lowrider S cant wait till winter is over here in Ontario Canada so I get out Ridin in the Wind Need to live in a warmer climate for sure would love to ride all year Anyway here's to the Sun & Wind keep the videos coming
I see Matt uploaded, I hit like before I watch the vid
My dad's buddy went from northeast Ohio to southern California and back in a week on an iron head sportster in 1974. He was a die hard and the kind that could fix anything on a bike. He was a machinist and a great mechanic that just loves to ride. Motorcycles have come a long way especially the touring bikes. In the 70s and 80s custom dynas and sportsters were in and the electra glide was an old man's bike. Now these guys are in their 70s and riding heritage softails and road kings if they are still able.
Recently Test rode an ultra classic in handled a lot better than I thought it would A great motorcycle Thanks for the video Matt Nick Take care guys
That’s a common comment I get when people ride the touring bikes. People don’t realize how well they handle for their weight.
Great content but weve come to expect that now from this channel, nice voice over buddy. Hollywood will come looking soon :)
Man when I'm ready, I would fly in from Houston just to buy from you! Love your videos!
We love helping our viewers get bikes! Just let us know when you are ready and we will be here!
I love the paint scheme, hell I like everything about it 💯✌️😎
Nice review. I have a 2018 CVO Limited that I use for a daily driver and live less than 10 miles from work. Ride it to dinner, grocery store, hardware store, any other place nearby when I get a chance. Do to work it will be years before I will be able to take long trips so all my riding is around town and I'm very happy with it. I did put the removable your pack, cam, tuner and slip-ons. I use the headed seats and grips regularly in the mornings and nights coming to and from work, wouldn't want a bike without them now. I agree that it would look better with extended bags but with the lean angle this bike is capable of I'm not sure they wouldn't drag before the floorboards. I also wish it came with stage 2 speakers but I am a music guy so that's important to me, I have my iPod on before I leave every day. Even though this is the first Harley I've bought it doesn't feel tall to me, I'm 5'-10" and wear boots with heals and stand flat footed with my knees bent and plenty of stability unless I'm on a steep sideways incline. Not sure about the extra seat pad on the newer ones, looks like it may push you to far forward, if anything sometimes I wish the controls were slightly forward from how I sit now. Well anyway I love mine and haven't regretted my choice one bit.
I totally agree on when bikes are bulky you are less apt to go for a short ride. that is why I have a sportster. perfect bike for that. good video on this.
Nice work men, ty!
A thing of beauty ,just ouzes quality,,,and I want one!
Very well done. Harley designed the CVO RoadGlide for it's best performance under specific design parameters. The same can be said for the Ultra Limited CVO. Two different missions per say. Either way, it's all of the best in one package. Period
keep up the gr8 work
Awesome videos Matt...What’s your thoughts on the Khrome Werks exhaust for a 117 CVO RG as far as sound & build quality? TIA
You only live once, buy one and enjoy it. Don't forget to add a Stage Kit. PS - Get ready for people to stop you and ask about it, take pictures and video.
Thanks for the info and video. If I could offer any advice on the video, I would change the camera view...not a great shot seeing the right side of the helmet consuming 1/3 of the screen.
One beautiful machine.
Just in case someone might be wondering I’m 5’7 and even though I am on my toes I can still ride this bike. If you’re confident enough it’s doable. I only had it for the day (2021 model) but it’s doable without feeling intimidating.
Thanks , in fact I am looking at that very bike. I am at a different stage in life and my wife and I are starting to go further and further on trips. I will be riding from Houston to Big Bend , TX next week then planning a West Coast trip from Houston to San Diego and up the west coast to Seattle. I do plan to stop by and Visit Laidlaw HD . I am currently on a 18 RoadKing. I like it a lot , Its done fantastic and has done everything I have asked of it. The CVO Limited will Probably be my next step. so good to hear the input.
Adam M that’s my dream trip going to west Texas.... only been as far as the 3 sisters
@@rondavis9918 I have been to Big Bend about 15 times but never on a bike. its a great place . I plan on riding to Deli Rio then decide how much light ,going on to Marathon or Alpine . before I turn toward the park . be doing hwy 90 out , its more scenic, going through Langtry visit Judge Roy Bean and then over the Trans Pecos Bridge. Then out Big Bend. hit Terlingua on west side up to Ft Davis and decide which way I want to hit 10 and head east.
Hi guys great video, can I ask, what would you suggest to Lower the bike for riders between 5.7 to 5.8.
I'm also thinking of going to 18" dominator meathook bars.
I have 18" fat apes on pro street
I had by mind set on sg cvo 19 but this Ltd cvo id 2 bikes into 1.
Thoughts please everyone
Man, the limited is one beautiful machine. Don’t know what it is about these Harleys but they always make me look twice. I don’t ride 2 up and don’t tour long distance, but I would still buy this thing if I had the money.
Definitely. The storage, comfort, and finishes make this thing the whole package
My bike now is a sgs 19. Gonna keep it till im 55yrs old. Then im getting this just in time for my retirement. Thats if HARLEY IS STILL AROUND. No pun intended. Just see alot of obstacles in the near future
I love the cvo but when I demoed the bike last fall I didn't care for the fixed back pad in the seat. It pushed me to far forward felt a little cramped and I'm 5'10" other then that i loved it happy trails
That’s fair.
My dream harley motorcycle!!
That i will own one day.
Lovin the accadacca
Hey , theres something that isnt anywhere online/ on forums.. which no channel or dealer has covered and I think it's important- All the major and minor differences between the Ultra Limited & CVO Limited.. right from the sound system, controls, seats, electronics, engine differences.. what all is standard on either machine.. it can be a video to demonstrate the value of the CVO and also create some marketing hype ! Cheers
Wouldn't be without the heated seat. Great for melting the frost off first thing in the mornings.
Frost off which end? As the saying goes "colder than a well diggers arse!"
Nice video matt, wondering what style H.D. windshield is that ??
Just the standard one that fits the bat wing fairing. I think it’s like 12 inches.
How many the stock bore and cc of this cvo ?
I wish they would put the extended bags and fender the same as the cvo street glide and road glide. I get what Harley is doing with the two bikes and the uses are different. They need to still keep some of the same styling that doesn’t effect the functions and comforts.
Bike for life ,just stay fit .
Love the look of the bike, and I agree, detachable touring pack would be nice. I’m currently on a sport touring bike with easily detachable touring bags. It’s great for reducing bulk when you’re in between those long trips. And you definitely notice the difference in wind drag. Much more nimble.
What are differences between CVO and Non CVO version?
Mattt , because of you i pulled the trigger ...I just today bought a 2019 new roadster ,, i am nowhere near tall and on the others i was good this one i am way up on my toes ,,but i love the seat ,,i need an inch or two ,what do you suggest ?
Congrats man. The roadster is a great bike.
Really on that bike all you can do is lower the shocks. Which is kinda too bad because that’s part of the appeal of that bike. Try taller sole boots.
Loved this video, Matt!
Matt, I have a video request for you- please make one addressing pompous predictions of HD dying or being in the throes of imminent death! HD is an American national treasure, in my opinion, and I’d be damned if it were to die. I am saddened by our generation’s- millennials- disinclination towards HD. I’m 31 and a diehard HD- and Indian- fanboy!
I ride a 2020 Indian Springfield now; I love it. But the HD CVO Limited is my dream motorcycle. I’m waiting for the 2023 120th anniversary edition models to role out before buying myself a special edition CVO Limited! I plan to ride across the lower 48 in it. I can’t imagine doing that trip on any other motorcycle.
Keep the great content coming, Matt!
Hi Matt, what device are you using to attach the GoPro to the fairing? Thanks
Suction cup
totally gorgeous bike , but you can buy an Ultra Limited AND a Sportster 48 and still have $4k left over for what this costs !
i get all the extras you get , but damn that's excessive
The whole model line is way overpriced if you ask me. But the CVO is rich mans toy. Harley and Indian need to re-evaluate their pricing in this new covid -19 world.
That's why you pay the money you pay. I'm surprised it doesn't have reverse option and a backup camera. These high end touring bikes are almost like cars and they should be. Never an automatic though. Screw that. I'm glad you can still get the heel-toe shifter.
CVO 😻😻
😍😍😍
hello matt are you going to do a review on cvo trike
Yes.
Would prefer if the 2 extra front lights were smaller, just the size of the turning lights. I think that they kind of destroy the look of the Street Glide, making it look like an Ultra.
2020 Softail Standard!!!!!!
H-D should have hired Matt as the new CEO!!!
If your not comfortable tippy toeing this bike, DONT change the shocks & DONT change the seat! Just buy a new set of riding boots with a 1 or 2” higher heal ! This way you don’t erode the ride comfort. Besides, you probably need a new pair of boots anyhow ! Just my 2 cents.
Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber on the radio? Really Matt? lol
We don't control the airwaves unfortunately!
I would take the road glide any day of the week first.
ALL I can say is that this is a bad ass bike... And if dont like this machine then u aint a harley enthusiast.
No stretched bags! WTF
To be fair, for me, this is the only CVO that's worth the premium.
They should make a series of bikes with no electronics. Even with carbs again lol I'd buy that
you would be the only one
Dose it ride as nice as a challenger?and you have to be a complete chump to spend that kind of money on that gaudy bike
Spelling matters. I absolutely believe that you have a Polaris.
Let me guess, best bike ever, better than any brand out there, Harley-Davidson rules, 🤷♂️
Heh brother, just bought a 2020 cvo here in oz cost standard 57000k. Yeh I dig exchange rate but dollar is for dollar and we pay a lot more for stuff in Australia,, I love my bike,, the only people that bitch are those those bitch,, I busted my balls to buy my bike for 36 years of work,, and I love it, you get what you pay for and I love it,, have supertrapp slip ons and supertrapp catless headers and powervision next week, rock on
It's like watching same video over and over since the first CVO was introduced back in 2006, and every Harley Davidson model for that matter. Only two things changes every year, production year and color schemes 😂😂
BokaRoadKing and price perhaps as well.. this is what Harley should be offering at $28k
Seriously, you can buy a really nice car at this price and the CVOs lose a lot of resale in just two years.. look it up.. .Harley wonders why it’s lost sales.. I’m not a hater btw I love Harley’s, had a road king classic.. I’m actually considering a new one myself.. I think not only Harley but also Indian are pricing themselves out of market share..
@@MarkR973 I couldn't agree more. I'm not hater either, I own '13 Road King. When I purchased my bike I had to put 6000$ in it right off the floor just to be able to ride it! It shouldn't be like this, not when you pay 30000$ for a motorcycle. When you buy a Mercedes or Cadillac you don't get no halogen lights,no vinyl seats or crappy suspension. No way! You get everything premium cause you're buying a premium brand and your paying premium price so everything it's gotta be premium!
BokaRoadKing exactly.. their over charging on base price considering what their truly finished bikes under the CVO brand look like..
One more reason I never buy off the showroom floor. I bought a 2019 FLHT this past December with a little over 2k miles on it with H-D 1k service record for $13,500 at a Fl Honda dealership and I live in deep East Texas. I’ve always bought bikes like this and can’t understand why anyone would buy any other way! Be patient and shop hard and you get a decent deal instead of getting it in the shorts.
Beautiful Bike ... You should not have to change the seats and suspension after purchase.. Too bad it costs more then a One night stay in the Lincoln Bedroom during the Clinton Administration..
All Bikes should have a Daymaker L.E.D. headlight standard..
Harley had to find a way to make a water cooled engine look good instead of putting a Peterbilt radiator on the front and calling it good.
I finally get in the financial position to buy a high end bike but the way Harley is doing things I think I will wait or spend the money other places. Delete here..delete there on a CVO.. no Sirius and one headset..makes me wonder what has been cheapened or left out that is not visible..Just my feelings and I am sure they will sell just fine..just not from me
The motor company has been absolutely killing paint and graphics over the last few years
Yes they have. 👍🏻
At ~8:45.... he’s reluctant to take a limited out of the garage for a quick ride around town... to a bar or whatever..... WTF..... that’s exactly when I’d want to show my bike off.... if parking lots scare you.... take a lesson or watch videos on slow speed maneuvers.... then go pick up chicks!
75bhp.... no wonder Harley don't release their horsepower figures
I see taxes... too much taxes...
I kept falling asleep watching this video. This year's CVO paint job are just sooooo boring.
Better luck next year.
Horrible color if you don’t want to be invisible on the road , just call it asphalt blend in death
tell us how you really feel.
Well, you could wear high-viz safety orange and yellow. It’s a motorcycle. If you want optimal safety don’t ride one.
Go drive a blue Prius, if you want to be safe.
How many the stock bore and cc of this cvo ?
