It is a beautiful motorcycle with lots of nice features . I personally would buy the BMW K 1600 B Before purchasing this CVO. My main reasons are more Tech better handling more Powerful and $10000 cheaper. And before anyone gets mad I am definitely a Harley guy. Proud owner of a 2011 WideGlide. No motorcycle manufacturer has ever giving me anything free. So I definitely have no Brand loyalty. This is still a beautiful motorcycle to me. Very well done HD.
Pricing really is insane lol, this is a really cool bike but for the price no thanks. But I guess guys like us aren't the target market for this model, these are for the Harley die hards that refuse to even look at any other brands
When I first started riding motorbikes it was my everyday mode of transport and was considered a poor man's form of transport. I went to a Harley get together a few years ago and it was full of bank managers business men / women and lawyers so I decided to buy a 10 year old Triumph. Love your Channel, Jerry, we can all dream . Beautiful bike , great review .
Best review of the features I've seen. HD may well have had Brembo brakes but man, these are now 'radial' mounted calipers. HD has certainly moved ahead. But still, this thing in orange costs $70K in Australia, yet still missing stuff found on BMW and Triumph like - the CVO has no 'Lane Assist' feature, no 'Active' Cruise Control; No electric adjustable suspension at the handlebars; and ride modes that appear to be lacking - ride modes typically would also automatically change some suspension settings to match, eg, going from Road Mode to Sports mode also stiffens the suspensions (even the Pan America has that,). At least HD is getting there (at a very very expensive price), even though these features are now only on the premium CVOs whereas others brands also have many of these features on other lesser models as well.
Hey Blair, I've been trying to like the new CVO's but I still wouldn't swap my 2022 blue steel CVO road glide. Yes, there are improvements of course but for me my 117 is plenty for my needs. I'm glad I jumped and got my 2022 while I could.
Yup. I’m glad I didn’t buy a 22 CVO because I like this one better. I Do regret selling my 21 RGS. I would have traded it for one of the new CVOs. Oh well.
Great Video, seen the 6k upgrade paint model. Fantastic looking! Everyone thought it was outstanding in the sun. (It surely popped) New Castle PA. Harley Dealer had a 120 yr annaversary invite, food, vendors, a band and Company trailer test rides. Bill the owner is a cool guy. He did a great job! You forgot to mention the outer laced wheels. Cool design maintaining tubles tires. Somthing much appriciated in the event of a flat on the road. Plug and return to riding with a portable kit. Ask my friend Mike, said it was a life savor!
Just went to a local dealer here in Ohio. "Hall of Fame HD", formerly "Rubber City HD". Wanted to see what they'd give my as a trade-in for my 2019 SGS. I know the new CVO RG is $43k. One of the first things the salesman tells me is that the bike is a "mid-$50k price". I asked him where the hell the extra $13k came from. His response was "dock fees, delivery fees, taxes, etc..." That is just outrageous. I mean, $43k for the bike alone is pretty stupid, but an added $13k just in fees and taxes is absolutely ludicrous. HD cares nothing for loyal riders. They only want doctors and lawyers and trust fund babies to buy their bikes. I love their bikes but I'll never own another brand new HD.
Yeah it's really unfortunate. They seem to want to become a more "exclusive" brand instead of making affordable bikes for a large market. Even the Nightster being the cheapest bike is going to go out the door for 15K plus, so they don't even seem to want to have a good affordable beginner option for people
First I own two different Harley’s. All the fees are added on by the dealer. With is the extra profit for them. Harley has a reputation for trying to rake over their customer base. I am just not impressed by all the extra fees. My Ideology. Let the bike sit. Most days now Harley dealerships are empty with very few people coming in them. We’re getting ready to see a strong downturn. In this market pretty soon. Harley claims their repos are up due to financing used bikes out 96 months. Which is completely outrageous. They’ll be on the bread line soon. I’d be the second owner of consider a new BMW . At half the cost.
What a beauty. Thanks for the video. I might be getting a CVO in a couple of years. Just discovered your channel. Love the channel name. That is an old school reference there.
It will be interesting to see how many of the CVO features trickle down to “normal” bikes like the ST, Special and “Standard” as well as the cruisers like the Fatboy and Breakout.
HD is like Nike your paying for a name with a few upgrades that other bike companies already have standard on there bike already. But having a Harley Davidson under your pants means alot to some people, I'd love to have an HD but pretty happy with my Vulcan for the moment, 60k is quite a bit of coin for a bike and just think if you customize it even more, oh man my wallet 😢😢😢, but for you that can swing it congrats your getting a nice looking bike.
In listening to the review on the screen features, it's very disappointing that Android auto won't be available. Some of us are adverse to APPLE and this seems to be prejudicial. I agree on the passenger peg, Fugly in the upright.
I'm a fan of the new CVO, not on the price of course, but I'm glad to see the Motor Company is doing some innovating. However, I have to ask, at this price point, I've always understood the Showa suspension was not that great, maybe I'm wrong but it seems like they could have gone with Ohlins over Showa.
I just cant with the rear end and tail lights, the bags slanting upwards at the bottoms, and that small front fender. Everything else i could live with.
Sorry Harley have lots of pressure on them thanks to competition. There has been many changes and Harley is still falling short of Indian when you match them dollar for dollar! The best part is inverted suspension and the turn signs incorporated into the faring, again Indian already has that! The faring shield is a little weak as well. Just can’t see the dollar value when you match it against its competitors!
Great Review,,, some points I agree with the Horn first time you hit a flood likely the end of the horn,, rear pegs are a disaster maybe they will have a recall LOL,, for a CVO could have provided rear crash / drop bars to protect the bags ,, back rest would have been nice also for the price ...
I personally was hoping for a throwback 70s design! Like they did with the sportsters, and that T shirt you’re wearing. I can’t believe they modernized the classic street glide and road glide!?? This is traumatic! I mean what’s next, liquid cooling!??
Thanks a lot Blair for the nice tour. I feel like the VVT and water-cooled heads add too much complexity with a new fan system and water tank for very little added value ride wise. The screen turning white during day light is a massive no no for me. it looks so bad :(
People say it looks like an Indian. It looks better than an Indian, way better. This is bordering on perfection in my opinion. If only i had forty or fifty grand to blow on getting one and a stage one😂
Thanks for the detailed review. Wonder what a updated Street Glide standard will look like for 2024. I definitely like the new saddlebags and the LED’s. Did the handlebars on the CVO sit low compared to a current SG?
Howdy 👋 I have a question for ya brother and with the best intentions to ask said question. So here it goes: What is the review based on? Are you comparing it to a SG you own or as far as how it rides in general? And if it’s based in general why you liking or disliking this bike affects or steers the consumer towards or away from buying one? Thanks for putting this video out. Take care and again NOT trying to be a troll I just want to understand since I wasn’t born here in the States and would like to get in the mindset is all. Thanks again 🫡🇺🇸🌵
Oh you're right! I was told by a ver reliable source it was bigger. New ones are 2.2 old ones are 2.5 on the stretched and 2.3 on the non stretched. Good catch!!
Great detailer review Blair. Gotta agree with you on the horn. Also, not a fan of the transmission cover area or those cheap looking allen head steel bolts on the black covers.
I think Timms will get the RG CVO tomorrow in that color but I’m 99% sure it’s already sold. I was told that color is almost sold out everywhere already.
This is exactly the comment I was going to make. Just my opinion. I assume there were design concepts that maintained the 'traditional'/historical appearance while still updating the key features, hardware & tech. I'd love to see some of those conceptual drawings/images. 🙂 Ride safe.
They were bummed at how indian/victory looking it was thought to look like at my local harley dealer when i peeped it out yesterday and as an indian rider i thought that comment was kinda funny. Now everyones going to look the same at the rallys n out there on the road? Idk imo i think its sweet. I still cant believe its the same chassis with piggy back shocks though. Kinda strange. Either way im excited for hd and getting to see fresh faces out there on the road to look at when this new styling hits all the trim levels between tourer models. For $43k atleast you dont have to do anything but some louder mufflers. I actually think its a fair price in todays crazy market considering every bell n whistle has been thought of. Ill take two! Lol
Thank you. I completely agree. It sounded good in editing but then when I watched it after the upload I noticed that. Had too many views to pull it down though lol.
Good-Day; Blip, The Black Chrome Exhaust looks very shape. Do you think Harley-Davidson well come out with a BLACK Chrome Collection. Cin-Cin and Salute 🫡👍✌️
They finally fixed the round peg in a square hole headlight! I'm all for it because the billions of used street Glides out there can now go down in price!
I agree, horn is bad. Miss the traditional horn location; now you see the ugly coil instead. Also, airbox with part of the filter sticking out front looks stupid.
I’m surprised I haven’t heard more people talk about the breather. Then again I’ve seen a lot of guys start running massive breathers that look like the King of The Bagger bikes.
I went over to my local Harley dealership to see one with my own eyes the other day. I LOVE the fairing. I LOVE the way the turn signals are built into the fairing. There is no comparison to the Indian. It’s a better look, a more modern look for Harley. I hope that makes its way down into the regular Street Glide and the Special, as well as the Ultra Limited. I like the shape of the headlight. I absolutely like what I’m seeing with the display screen. The tray under the screen is needed because the current little cubby hole is no good. I do like the new lines down the sides. I’m not sure about the “rounded” saddle bags. That looks odd to me. It may grow on me. I have to say though, the taillights look cheap and the fit and finish looks off. If they didn’t have a big seem at the top and if they were flush with the back of the bags, it would be much better. As is, it just looks awkward and like an after thought. I can’t wait to see how that 121 runs. I have a friend who is a dealer who tells me this engine was built with EPA standards in mind primarily and performance secondarily. The suspension along with the lighter weight should be great. I can’t wait to see how that feels. I’m on my way to Sturgis in less than 2 weeks. Maybe I’ll get to test ride one. Another thing I like is the adjustability of the wind, both from the side and from the windscreen.
120 and years and they still do not offer a taller bar option on the bat wing. Just bought a brand new 2023 CVO Street Glide in Neat Orange and I can't even ride because the bars are so low they hit my knees when i turn. So far there is nothing on the aftermarket. 54k Garage ornament. Come on Harley Davidson WTF. At 6'4" you would think Harley would realize by now that people over 6' exist.
I love the performance improvements and the performance upgrades. However, the finish is Indian MC’s all the way! Meaning, it doesn’t look Harley quality finish. Both CVOs looked rushed. These two CVOs don’t meet the Harley CVO standards!
Beautiful bike but yes passenger peg looks cheap and horn not in right place. No Android auto ugh. I know those bikes cost a lot of money there should be more options not less. Thanks for the video.
I'm not a fan of Baggers, I find them to be the ugliest of all Harleys. However they did a good job on these new CVO models. They look like something special instead of throwing the P&A Catalog and a fancy paint job on the past few years CVO's.
Very fitting to expect HD not be loyal to their fans and make sure the price is more attractive, but even on top of that charge 6k extra for a nicer paint job instead of making sure with all the dough they're making, they don't have a paint shop that can handle just about anything....Such an odd company that makes timeless bikes
HD always 5-10 years behind the competition. Finally a TFT display, riding modes, LED turn signals but still no electric windscreen! $50-60k bike should have that and more.🙄 extremely overpriced and under engineered.
Instead of reducing the size and weight of the engine But has more performance Instead, you can only increase the engine volume. Even though they should reduce weight to make riding easier. Never even did it. Even though there should be a reverse gear because the car is heavy, there isn't one.
$6000 for paint is more than what Mercedes Charges for an optional color on an S class… Range Rover charges $710 for a Metallic Red…. Tesla charges $3000 for its Metallic Red… so Harley is way out of line. IMO…. All that being said the CVO is nice, the bright dash is changeable…
Looks fabulous. The passenger pegs should be Mini Floors- (i can only imagine chicks bitching haha) - Im more a Road Glide fan. Look forward to when ya shoot some of that Content! Blair… does this new SG fairing feel lighter to steer?
I may get to make a video with a RG CVO tomorrow. It’s already sold so probably no test ride. I didn’t notice a lighter feeling but I know the bike is 30-35lb lighter overall.
Not sure all the changes are for the better. The horn is stupid, the rear pegs are terrible looking, the short engine guards are useless if you are in the rain, all the controls on the handlebars, the yellow reflectors back on the front forks, the huge ugly brakes. I think the only thing I like is the engine size and the tray for the phone. Definitely not buying one of these.
So I bought this bike. I seriously regret it. At 6'3". I cannot ride it. The bar layout is absolutely terrible for a tall person. Called the dealer and I will be returning the bike. I have owned it two weeks less than 50 miles on it.
I dont like the aesthetics at all. I dont like the new batwing and headlight, dont like the bags, really dont like the shape of the rear filler panels. Its almost like a lowrider st with a batwing. Not everybody loves the bagger racer boy look. I prefer stretched bags stretched rear with a big motor
I’d imagine the Special models will continue to come with stretched bags. Definitely odd the CVO doesn’t. I like the short bags but I’m not a CVO buyer.
@throttleblip9854 im not acvo buyer either. I prefer to customise my bikes to my taste. Including the paint. My 48 is arat buildbut withhard candy style racing stripes and all paint complet with a suicideclutch setup. my deluxe is a vicla with tonnes of chrome. My street glide special has a 131 with a cam, ohlins shocks and a hot rod inspired paint job on the way. I did want a cvo at one point but i think that would hinder my desire to modify
Does look like an Indian... Still so behind, we are introducing features that have been around for a decade and pretending they are amazing innovations. Wondering when Harley will wow everyone with something forward thinking
They have tried in the past and I think the conclusion is HD owners like their changes to be minor and over time. I guess they care more about the nostalgia? I’m 35 and consider that younger for a Harley guy so I can appreciate any modern/tech upgrades they do. That said I like the old old stuff also.
They never will. HD is circling the drain and they'll be bankrupt/out of business in 5 years. The best they can come up with is a poor copy of an Indian.
![Inside US Harley-Davidson Factory 2024: Assembly line - Building Motorbikes by hands [step by step]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/mcyfPIrgDPg/mqdefault.jpg)
It's a $43 grand bike, we have every right to nit pick. That horn is janky af
More like a 60k bike with the HD tax…
Nếu ở đất nước tôi nó có trị giá 100.000$. Kinh khủng thật!
Too much 💰 for a bike
Streetglide specials are 40k.
It is a beautiful motorcycle with lots of nice features . I personally would buy the BMW K 1600 B Before purchasing this CVO.

@@tomoates8568 Very true bro
I WOULD CHALLENGE A BMW ON IT. SPORT MODE IS UNREAL.
Its complicated but easy
Its just short of 6 gallons
When I first started riding motorbikes it was my everyday mode of transport and was considered a poor man's form of transport. I went to a Harley get together a few years ago and it was full of bank managers business men / women and lawyers so I decided to buy a 10 year old Triumph.

Yup. I’m glad I didn’t buy a 22 CVO because I like this one better.
I Do regret selling my 21 RGS. I would have traded it for one of the new CVOs.
Oh well.
Great Video, seen the 6k upgrade paint model. Fantastic looking! Everyone thought it was outstanding in the sun. (It surely popped) New Castle PA. Harley Dealer had a 120 yr annaversary invite, food, vendors, a band and Company trailer test rides. Bill the owner is a cool guy. He did a great job! You forgot to mention the outer laced wheels. Cool design maintaining tubles tires. Somthing much appriciated in the event of a flat on the road. Plug and return to riding with a portable kit. Ask my friend Mike, said it was a life savor!
Yeah I love those wheels! When they first came out I hopped other people did as well so they’d keep using them. Also handy on the Pan Am’s!
Just went to a local dealer here in Ohio. "Hall of Fame HD", formerly "Rubber City HD". Wanted to see what they'd give my as a trade-in for my 2019 SGS. I know the new CVO RG is $43k. One of the first things the salesman tells me is that the bike is a "mid-$50k price". I asked him where the hell the extra $13k came from. His response was "dock fees, delivery fees, taxes, etc..."

Yeah it's really unfortunate. They seem to want to become a more "exclusive" brand instead of making affordable bikes for a large market. Even the Nightster being the cheapest bike is going to go out the door for 15K plus, so they don't even seem to want to have a good affordable beginner option for people
I was looking at a 2022 and 50k is what they are getting. And they sell as fast as they get them.
First I own two different Harley’s. All the fees are added on by the dealer. With is the extra profit for them. Harley has a reputation for trying to rake over their customer base. I am just not impressed by all the extra fees. My Ideology. Let the bike sit. Most days now Harley dealerships are empty with very few people coming in them.

Nice, detailed, comprehensive review with no fluff, but it's basically a compact car with two wheels missing.
Love those cvobut man the price is insane
Great looking Chieftain
What a beauty. Thanks for the video. I might be getting a CVO in a couple of years. Just discovered your channel. Love the channel name. That is an old school reference there.
It will be interesting to see how many of the CVO features trickle down to “normal” bikes like the ST, Special and “Standard” as well as the cruisers like the Fatboy and Breakout.
They always do. That’s how CVOs work.
This is the future of Harley bikes.
I’m REALLY interested to see what the ‘24 Ultra Limited will look like.
Just took one for a demo ride at Sturgis. Engine and ride modes are awesome. You mentioned it felt small for your size. I'm 6ft 2 and had no issues.
I'm 6'3" and mine is terribly small for me. If I wanted to ride in the fetal position I get a stroller. I am trying to return mine.
Best CVO ever thanks to Indian.
How was the buffetting?
How does the horn sound? And for CVO money the bike rear shock should be auto adjustable, thats a big miss in my opinion
Can you try the voice assistant feature of this bike and share the video of that as well?
HD is like Nike your paying for a name with a few upgrades that other bike companies already have standard on there bike already. But having a Harley Davidson under your pants means alot to some people, I'd love to have an HD but pretty happy with my Vulcan for the moment, 60k is quite a bit of coin for a bike and just think if you customize it even more, oh man my wallet 😢😢😢, but for you that can swing it congrats your getting a nice looking bike.
Price went up and quality went down! ... horn? No stretched bags? Rear pegs? Shock adjustment stickng out?
In listening to the review on the screen features, it's very disappointing that Android auto won't be available. Some of us are adverse to APPLE and this seems to be prejudicial. I agree on the passenger peg, Fugly in the upright.

For 50,000 US they better be the best bikes ever made!!! 😂😂😂
Center gas cap looks like they took it off my Rebel 1100T
I just cant with the rear end and tail lights, the bags slanting upwards at the bottoms, and that small front fender. Everything else i could live with.
Looks like they glued the windshield on top of the fairing. Prices are outrageous

Best hands on review to date. Ride American Ride Indian.
Appreciate that. 👊🏼
Hd finally says good bye to cheap light globes , it must of been hard for them 😂
Just on this one. 24 models will be the true test! Hahaha
Thanks a lot Blair for the nice tour. I feel like the VVT and water-cooled heads add too much complexity with a new fan system and water tank for very little added value ride wise. The screen turning white during day light is a massive no no for me. it looks so bad :(
Two things can be true at the same time. That new fairing DOES look good. It also DOES look like the Indian's fairing.
People say it looks like an Indian. It looks better than an Indian, way better. This is bordering on perfection in my opinion. If only i had forty or fifty grand to blow on getting one and a stage one😂
Thanks for the detailed review. Wonder what a updated Street Glide standard will look like for 2024. I definitely like the new saddlebags and the LED’s. Did the handlebars on the CVO sit low compared to a current SG?

You might check on on luggage capacity. The 2023 bags are slightly smaller than the previous model.
Oh you're right! I was told by a ver reliable source it was bigger. New ones are 2.2 old ones are 2.5 on the stretched and 2.3 on the non stretched. Good catch!!
Great detailer review Blair.
Gotta agree with you on the horn.
Also, not a fan of the transmission cover area or those cheap looking allen head steel bolts on the black covers.
Nothing money won't fix
Great review! I dig the Street Glide FOR ONCE lol
Hey mate cool vid. Have you got any idea what the change in transmission cover on the right is about ?
Part of the Variable valve timing system.
This looks more like the AMF again.
In what way?
$60k And you get an ugly passenger footpeg when it goes up! OMG unbelievable.🙄
Have any of the orange cvo yet
I think Timms will get the RG CVO tomorrow in that color but I’m 99% sure it’s already sold. I was told that color is almost sold out everywhere already.
Harley-Davidson overcomes and exceeds expectations!
Maybe in queer circles.
They definitely overcame making a well priced bike 😂
I love your video,actually they are my favorites
Looks like an 80's Goldwing
The CVO they released in January yes. Not this one.
This is exactly the comment I was going to make.
Just my opinion. I assume there were design concepts that maintained the 'traditional'/historical appearance while still updating the key features, hardware & tech. I'd love to see some of those conceptual drawings/images.
🙂
Ride safe.
Nice video keep up the good work fella
Much appreciated
Its truly amazing what hd is producing😮
With all of the redesign, I would have expected Harley to go with a soft tail style mono-shock.
Horn is definitely an afterthought.
Not my style, however its nice that Harley is moving into the modern age..... Ride safe
Great new concept but HD just needed another year in development to refine secondary systems.
34000. 600 miles on it. Great bike
They were bummed at how indian/victory looking it was thought to look like at my local harley dealer when i peeped it out yesterday and as an indian rider i thought that comment was kinda funny. Now everyones going to look the same at the rallys n out there on the road? Idk imo i think its sweet. I still cant believe its the same chassis with piggy back shocks though. Kinda strange. Either way im excited for hd and getting to see fresh faces out there on the road to look at when this new styling hits all the trim levels between tourer models. For $43k atleast you dont have to do anything but some louder mufflers. I actually think its a fair price in todays crazy market considering every bell n whistle has been thought of. Ill take two! Lol
Ok, new CVO in that color $50k, or a new Goldwing Tour DCT $30k. I’m taking the Goldwing and $20k in my pocket.
Nice review, appreciate the details. Just a touch too loud on your music in the background during the ride review
Thank you. I completely agree. It sounded good in editing but then when I watched it after the upload I noticed that. Had too many views to pull it down though lol.
Good-Day; Blip, The Black Chrome Exhaust looks very shape. Do you think Harley-Davidson well come out with a BLACK Chrome Collection. Cin-Cin and Salute 🫡👍✌️
Nice features... But not for 40k+.
They finally fixed the round peg in a square hole headlight! I'm all for it because the billions of used street Glides out there can now go down in price!
I didn’t event think about that but that definitely does fix that issue!
Brembo makes excellent brakes
yep you finally got your LEDs 😆
The horn looks like an after thought is right.
I love it. I wish I could afford one.
How do you increase the top speed? Mine is limited to 101-102.
Tow it with a Hayabusa.
I agree, horn is bad. Miss the traditional horn location; now you see the ugly coil instead. Also, airbox with part of the filter sticking out front looks stupid.
I’m surprised I haven’t heard more people talk about the breather. Then again I’ve seen a lot of guys start running massive breathers that look like the King of The Bagger bikes.

It’s ugly bro! I hope the look stays with CVO and not make it down to the specials!
I'd replace that front tire and put a fat tire with an Older FLH style fender.
people are buying these bikes go figure ate they worth it ? is the sirius ready they used to be but not mine and the gold key
120 and years and they still do not offer a taller bar option on the bat wing. Just bought a brand new 2023 CVO Street Glide in Neat Orange and I can't even ride because the bars are so low they hit my knees when i turn. So far there is nothing on the aftermarket. 54k Garage ornament. Come on Harley Davidson WTF. At 6'4" you would think Harley would realize by now that people over 6' exist.
I love the performance improvements and the performance upgrades. However, the finish is Indian MC’s all the way! Meaning, it doesn’t look Harley quality finish. Both CVOs looked rushed. These two CVOs don’t meet the Harley CVO standards!
Is it an electric windshield like the Indian?
BMW also
Beautiful bike but yes passenger peg looks cheap and horn not in right place. No Android auto ugh. I know those bikes cost a lot of money there should be more options not less. Thanks for the video.
Unless Imisunderstood what I was told, it’s Android that pulled the plug not Harley which I hope is the case.
Few ppl can afford one
I'm not a fan of Baggers, I find them to be the ugliest of all Harleys. However they did a good job on these new CVO models. They look like something special instead of throwing the P&A Catalog and a fancy paint job on the past few years CVO's.
Very fitting to expect HD not be loyal to their fans and make sure the price is more attractive, but even on top of that charge 6k extra for a nicer paint job instead of making sure with all the dough they're making, they don't have a paint shop that can handle just about anything....Such an odd company that makes timeless bikes
HD always 5-10 years behind the competition. Finally a TFT display, riding modes, LED turn signals but still no electric windscreen! $50-60k bike should have that and more.🙄 extremely overpriced and under engineered.
Instead of reducing the size and weight of the engine But has more performance Instead, you can only increase the engine volume. Even though they should reduce weight to make riding easier. Never even did it. Even though there should be a reverse gear because the car is heavy, there isn't one.
So many upgrades... But the rear shocks situation for a bike that costs this much is a travesty. Should have been a monoshock.
it only cvo models that get the changes
Never, the next one is the best.
She can then fly to the moon.
Maybe then I’ll be able to wheelie a Harley 🤣
$6000 for paint is more than what Mercedes Charges for an optional color on an S class… Range Rover charges $710 for a Metallic Red…. Tesla charges $3000 for its Metallic Red… so Harley is way out of line. IMO…. All that being said the CVO is nice, the bright dash is changeable…
Bags look wider than the previous ones.
Looks fabulous. The passenger pegs should be Mini Floors- (i can only imagine chicks bitching haha) - Im more a Road Glide fan. Look forward to when ya shoot some of that Content!
Blair… does this new SG fairing feel lighter to steer?
I may get to make a video with a RG CVO tomorrow. It’s already sold so probably no test ride. I didn’t notice a lighter feeling but I know the bike is 30-35lb lighter overall.
@@throttleblip9854 They look Uhh mazing!
Not sure all the changes are for the better. The horn is stupid, the rear pegs are terrible looking, the short engine guards are useless if you are in the rain, all the controls on the handlebars, the yellow reflectors back on the front forks, the huge ugly brakes. I think the only thing I like is the engine size and the tray for the phone. Definitely not buying one of these.
Can you answer the phone yet? Or is it another upgrade?
I think they're worth it, put 20k down 2 tame that payment...
Harley Davidson Indian version.
I would never spend $43k for a friggin motorcycle
Yeah horn cheap made should put back up old location
The music at the end is distracting, would be easier to understand you without the music. Great detailed video otherwise 😁
Yeah I messed that part up for sure. It wasn’t that loud when I was editing. Obviously it was but didn’t seem like it was. Thanks for the love!
You should turn down the background music when you have any commentary. It was a bit too distracting
Don t like the led head light
Where is the H in street?😅
So I bought this bike. I seriously regret it. At 6'3". I cannot ride it. The bar layout is absolutely terrible for a tall person. Called the dealer and I will be returning the bike. I have owned it two weeks less than 50 miles on it.
Lots of wind buffeting
Made in China
I dont like the aesthetics at all. I dont like the new batwing and headlight, dont like the bags, really dont like the shape of the rear filler panels. Its almost like a lowrider st with a batwing. Not everybody loves the bagger racer boy look. I prefer stretched bags stretched rear with a big motor
I’d imagine the Special models will continue to come with stretched bags. Definitely odd the CVO doesn’t. I like the short bags but I’m not a CVO buyer.
@throttleblip9854 im not acvo buyer either. I prefer to customise my bikes to my taste. Including the paint. My 48 is arat buildbut withhard candy style racing stripes and all paint complet with a suicideclutch setup. my deluxe is a vicla with tonnes of chrome. My street glide special has a 131 with a cam, ohlins shocks and a hot rod inspired paint job on the way.
I did want a cvo at one point but i think that would hinder my desire to modify
@throttleblip9854 i hadnt even really come to that conclusion until your comment either, so thanksfor helping me make sense of that
Does look like an Indian... Still so behind, we are introducing features that have been around for a decade and pretending they are amazing innovations. Wondering when Harley will wow everyone with something forward thinking
They have tried in the past and I think the conclusion is HD owners like their changes to be minor and over time. I guess they care more about the nostalgia? I’m 35 and consider that younger for a Harley guy so I can appreciate any modern/tech upgrades they do. That said I like the old old stuff also.
They never will. HD is circling the drain and they'll be bankrupt/out of business in 5 years. The best they can come up with is a poor copy of an Indian.
Can’t hear half of what your saying cause of the music mate
The styling of all Harley's new bikes are too Japanese like. The Japanese do it better. Great vids and content :)
