- A surprise Mid-Model Year Launch - the 2020 CVO Road Glide is Back! After an upsetting "no show" at the beginning of the model year, the Highly-popular CVO Road Glide has made a reappearance half way through 2020. Matt Laidlaw takes out this Ultra-premium Hot Rod Bagger up Ortega Highway and stops off at a couple popular biker Lookouts.

I thought you were about to slay this beat with that opening. "And you thought HD forgot to build it this year. haha...... " Beat drop
Matt, that CVO looks like it was made especially for you....MAKE IT HAPPEN & join the Road Glide family! 😎
Terrence Peeples one day my friend. I’m still hustling hard to earn the finances for one.
I totally agree on the quality of those bikes. In fact since 2018 to me the quality is second to none.
Dang, that is one clean, gorgeous looking ride. Haters can say all they want but I guarantee you people will notice you on a Harley. Seen many people give out compliments of how awesome Harley's look. It's a hoot to be riding down the interstate, look over and see someone in a cager taking pictures or video of the bike. This one will sure get a lot of looks for sure. Toxic Ted needs to do at least one CVO paint scheme a year along with the solid colors.
Let me start by saying,, Thank you for all your time, thoughts and effort that went into making this professional video!! WOW! This is a bike/subject that I have a lot of interest in. I bought a 2019 CVO Road Glide, SILVER all CHROMED out one, the last 4 street glides/road glides were all blacked out, just thought it was time to go from the "dark side" to the "bright side"!!
My first CVO and I love this motorcycle....the color, the 21" front wheel, all the extras on it. I wasn't disappointed Harley didn't have it in the line up for 2020, because I decided I was keeping this one for a long time, in fact I bought a 2020 Iron 1200 to use as my around town bike to keep miles off the CVO! O well,,,,,I'm happy other people will get the chance to buy this wonderful motorcycle.
If it's the CVO I am thinking of, it is a beauty. I remember a few guys and I were just standing at the dealership just admiring it. Matt did a video of a guy who had the same CVO and did a Stage IV. BadA$$ bike with the Stage IV. My advice is ride it and enjoy it. You only live once.
@@mojomanmurph1925
I agree, I'm going to ride the wheels off of it!! Funny thing is,,,, I found I enjoy riding the iron 1200 too, it takes me back to my youth! Ha ha,,,,fun light bike.
Thanks for the tip on the video, I found it under screaming eagle performance videos,,,,and yes, that's the one I own.
Nice man. The 2019's are great bikes. Enjoy that thing
Beautiful ride and always happy to see Harley manufacturing a high end product for those that want the upper echelon of what they have to offer. It won’t fit everyone’s need or budget but that is why we have a choice. Thanks for giving us a choice! Great review as always. Be safe Matt and all the best to you and your family.
Great review Matt, I’ve owned over 50 bikes, still own 11 and just put a deposit on the 2020 cvo road glide today, my first Harley. Can’t wait. Awesome to come home and then see this nice long review. 🙏✅👌🙋♂️
Wow! What bike do you think you have ever had the most fun on?
Big G 50 bikes 😮 awesome. You’ll love this thing man. Thanks for watching. Enjoy the future purchase
@@DoWorkNP geez I love so many. But if I had to choose one only, it would be my 2015 BMW R1200GS Adventure. It does everything.
@@MattLaidlaw when I buy a bike in the states you know who I will be coming to see!
@@swannee4351 Enjoy the CVO Road Glide. I had a 2013 CVO Road Glide but now have a 2018 BMW R1200GS Adventure (GSA) and I found myself riding the GSA more then my CVO. So much so I sold the CVO.
Great overall video. I especially like to see when you carve the canyons and promote the new concept of " performance bagger."
I always appreciate the fact that you go through the pros and cons. I think that gets missed on a lot dealer reviews. By the way still loving my Heritage.
I give Matt Laidlaw's videos a thumbs up even before I watch it. That the level of trust.
sorta like going down on a girl before u smell it :D
Peter Matijevic thanks for the support brother. 👍🏻. I try to never let down my subscribers.
Don't be so quick. He's seriously biased because it's his own dealership.
Every Harley is the greatest ever
same here
Taylor St. Pierre I get what you’re saying but people often go into business for the passion they feel for something. As long as he isn’t stroking the motor company blindly I can accept some bias.
As far as looks go, SEXY BEAST!. The only reason I wouldnt pull the trigger on a 2020 is cause we all know the 131 is around the corner.
Reliability and durability on a long distance TOURING bike is an issue with a 131cube. Also, a heavier clutch is needed and what about a tranny upgrade to a Baker DD 6 to handle the extra torque? The trouble starts if all components aren't matched in performance. ⁰I learned the hard way on my 2003 S.E. 95cu in stage 4 after wearing out all stock items and replacing them with upgrades for a small fortune
@@marshallcrotin8761 not talking about the stage 4. Im talking about the new engines.
Matt this is one of ur best videos, drone, music editing brilliant
All CVOs should come with the 131" and pimped out more for that price tag!
I'm not sure how more it could be pimped out, but I agree, stage IV 131s for all CVOS!
Nick Culver with the money you save converting that cvo just put a Zippers 131 In it
I couldn’t agree more I have a ‘18 CVO RG n For the amount of money I pay for it should have at least a 131. I’m done playing Harley’s game of overpaying for a bike and then having to pay an additional 7 g for performance. I will just buy an Indian and get a performance out of the gate
@@sam8307 mic drop
Sam but the 131 wasn’t out when the 2018 came out? So they were suppose to travel a year in the future and install a 131? Got it. Glad you’re being reasonable at least. Also not everyone likes the gearing of a stage IV so you’re painting yourself in the corner by forcing someone to have a stage IV if that’s not what they want. Maybe someone wants a stage III instead. Harley isn’t perfect but I can understand their reasoning.
Another very honest and good bike review, Matt. What a cool bike, with all the Pros and Cons. Congrats to the future owners!
Of course you got one already.
I’ve watched tons of HD vids on the tube and Matt is by far the professional on the block. With all the models they offer I’m about to drop on the RG special. The SG does it for me as well but I just love the stationary cowl. Thanks for what you do Matt.
Thx matt for the pros and cons . Honest review. You hot the key points
Great views and driving footage. As usual a very detailed review. Beautiful bike. Wish you where closer. Thank you.
Another great review Matt
I like the subdued cockpit look. Not garish and without the eye-blinding chrome dash of older models. Nor the 1950s suburban kitchen appliance look on the new Polaris-Indian.
Matt: CVO's (I have the Mako) should be $50K. Put the 131 in it, give it a really custom paint job, better shocks, CVO handlebars, CVO windshield, etc. Make it the best of the best, because right now...it's not. Then, offer a Performance Line (like AMG to Mercedes) for the RGS. Better shocks, engine, clutch, etc. Go after the performance bagger market.
Definitely need a real hot rod version of the bikes from factory with all that shit you mentioned.
50 k !!!!😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😎😎😎😎 harley guys 😎😎😎😎
Super clean and thorough video. Nice job. Clean work! Been on that road it’s a solid ride. 👍
Thanks Matt! Great review!
This is such a gorgeous bike. Harley Davidson has the wettest looking paint. Gorgeous! I’d be tripping over something looking back at this walking away. Thank you Matt. Life’s short, just buy the bike!
Hell yea
Thanks Matt, great review, ordered mine yesterday!
Nice. 👍🏻 enjoy
A great, honest review. Your best video to date.
I agree!
Honest review with good details. My favorite was the '19 CVO in Mako Shark Fade paint.
Great Job As Always Matt !!
Liking that Simpson helmet
Did a demo ride this passed summer 2019 road glide for a big heavy bike it was easy to ride and handled great. If i the money I’d have one in my garage for sure. I found a lot of Harley haters Have never ridden one and get caught up in how much they cost . To them I say ride one see for yourself all touring are expensive not just harleys.
Great to see a video again Matt!! It´s been a while. This is a work of art! "The Great White"! Or is it "Pale Rider"? A undisputed champ! A thing of absolute beauty. Do I sound like a fanboy, GOD DAMMIT I DO! A absolute dreambike for me!!!!
Great vid as always Matt...
an´keep ém coming sir!!!
Thanks again from Tennessee! Love your videos!
Thanks for making this in-depth review of this beautiful Harley-Davidson 🇺🇸👌
Great review Matt!! I like it
Another quality review mate. Looking at your riding position it seems like this bike suits a fella 6ft +. Great to see the drone footage making the cut. Keep em coming
Mate, I ride a 2019 cvo road glide and I’m only 5”4, it’ll suit anyone! Absolutely beautiful bikes.
No way... look at Matt's knees, they are about 6 inches higher than his hips.
Laidlaw never disappoints!!! Great video Matt! 🇨🇦
Didn’t know Matt teamed with The Stig...
Great video. Very informative, impartial, and well produced.
Hello....writing you from Paris France. Sublime video. I ordered this bike, and unfortunately the delivery time is a little longer than in the US. Congratulations on your reports and their quality.
You are going to be styling over in Europe with this CVO!
It's too cold right now in Europe anyway. I had to wait until May for my RG CVO to arrive, it's worth it! If You need (want) to change the suspension, go for Wilbers. We have already upgraded 3 RG CVOs with the 21in front wheel to Wilbers, what a significant change.
Safe rides, see You in Faak.
Matt, I just bought this bike this week. Finally, feels like a CVO again. The color is a killer, but you can't appreciate it until you take it outside.They really paid attention to details and gave special stuff in the model. I am very happy. I have 2006 cvo fatboy as well.
Nice man. You got a Beauty. Enjoy. 👍🏻
Another 1st class review!
Almost didn't recognize you in the white helmet!.. Great intro and review as always!.. Still prefer the Street glide CVO in Sand Dune over the Road Glide but what a stunner.
Amazing intro as usual
Beautiful ride! Thanks for the great, in-depth review. New sub here!
I agree about the Shocks . Ohlin shocks should come from the Factory standard on CVO’s! These high end CVO’s should also come standard with a 131 Engine from the factory! Until they do I’ll keep my 2017 Limited which serves me just fine .
Yeah really
Bike has come along way since its introduction in 2000. But there is always Pros -Cons to anything 👊
Awesome review as always.
Great review Matt
Your videos/ channel is fantastic. Thanks for all of the great content. I just sent you a picture of my color matched tour pack for 2019 CVO RoadGlide
I agree 100% about the seat. I upgraded to a Lucky Daves and never looked back.
I absolutely agree with you Matt, there’s just something about an all white Harley Davidson. My first car a white RX7, my first Harley Davidson a pearl white stage 4 (1200) 883 Sportster. Now I’m thinking about painting my dyna low rider S white . Maybe because it’s the opposite of the black bikes that almost every one has
Great video, awesome bike! I am waiting until spring to pick up a RGS. I do highway riding on my WG, not that great. I Test rode two RGS, what a huge difference on the highway. I knew there would be a big difference, but Wow! This 2020 CVO RG is even better, that color is great with that bronze trim and 21 inch front wheel.
Awesome video as always - bikes awesome 🤙😎⚡️
CVO CVO CVO.... Nice bike... for a Roadglide 😂 But seriously thanks for being truthful and not holding back on the things you might not favor. Looking forward to the 30th anniversary Fatboy video 🤠
Amazing attention to detail to interior dash pieces
Hey Matt you havent let me down so far as because of you and your channel ive bought new a 2017 Fat Bob, 2018 Heritage Classic 114, a 2020 Low Rider S all awesome bikes !!! and now a 2020 CVO RoadGlide (You better be right on this one haha) its on the way to NZ now.
I absolutely LOVE that colour
Matt (CEO), What a great video! It was great to see the beautiful California coast and roads that you were riding on. The Drone shots were excellent also! I totally get Where you are coming from with the lack of the 131" engine for the CVO lineup. It really goes to show how badly you are needed in corporate. Please consider my friend.
Awesome review, as usual. Matt you have changed your look....White helmet, gloves and new (warmer) jacket?
love that colour and finish good video
Great review. Thanks
Great review Matt 👍. I’m betting the 128/131 M8 will be the stock CVO motor starting in ‘21.
Yeah if they wanna sell those 128/131 upgrades they really should put it on one of the CVOs
@@Doobie603 u would think for the price...
That's a seriously beautiful machine!
Damn that’s a beautiful motorcycle!! By the way damn bro you rip up Ortega hwy. I took my street glide out to Idyllwild last weekend and Some of the turns where pretty nasty lol. Good review man. Once again beautiful motorcycle.
crazy to think I can buy a regular Road Glide and a Sportster for the price of this bike. Kinda hard to justify the price as beautiful a machine as it is
Another great vid matt! I had a strong feeling they would launch the cvo road glide mid year . The bike is gorgeous but i'm a street glide man. 1 thing I don't like about the road glide is having the infotainment screen so far away compared to the street glide. Still an amazing bike and whoever is fortunate to own one is very lucky.
Thanks Matt.
That was a brilliant review 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great vid Matt. I’m also 6’6” similar build and do a lot of touring on my 16 RGS, both solo and with my wife. What do you recommend for rear shocks?
Thanks for the video, I just bought the bike today :)
Another great video as usual Matt., simply the best reviews out there. Agree your comments re making a differential using the 131 cube and suspension upgrade. Iride a 16 SGS in Sydney, Australia am 6ft 2 inches and can't decide between 10 or 12 inch Paul yaffe bars. Any thoughts ? Also, what after market shocks would you go with on the SGS.
Ride safe from Oz👍👍
This is the best look at this bike
Matt Laidlaw does a good video on the Harley Davidson Touring Road Glide and CVO, he is very informative on the pros and cons.
HOT!!! Looking good in leathers! ;-) Beautiful scenery on that ride.
Sick bike it really looks great.
Great review as always. Beautiful machine to bad i can't afford one. California looks nice place to go for a ride.
While I could never afford one, I love the looks of that bike.
My dream bike right there....
Love hanging out at Hell’s Kitchen. Thanks for the vid Matt!!
Ryan's V-Twin Vlogs that's a serious CVO bro. All the best equipment ( electric lock bags etc ) all the best finishes. $40k + is some serious 🍞 but you get what you pay for. Yes, a tall windscreen. Comfy seat. Tour Pack. And a 130ci engine. Then it would be a premium, coast to coast bomber !
Thanks for watching Ryan!
Yes I was hoping they would make a cvo road glide special this year I have the 2019 cvo road glide special mako
Excellent video Matt..
Such a nice bike. One can dream.
Hi Matt ~ Greetings from New Zealand.
117 years of Harley-Davidson👍~ Beautiful Quality American Iron👌 Wouldn't purchase anything else !!! 💯
Hey Matt, great videos! I have been following you for years, I am from Milwaukee but I live in Louisiana now, my mother retired from H-D Headquarters (Milwaukee) as a Corporate Buyer/ Product Consultant some years back. She has been to many rallies & dealer meets throughout the years. She once headed up an R&D project in New Orleans, Louisiana during the biggest Historically Black College & University (H.B.C.U.) Football game (The Bayou Classic). This is the Football game between Grambling State University (A.K.A. The Black Notre Dame) & Southern University (The largest H.B.C.U. on Earth). My mom, dad, & lil brother all went to Southern & I went to Grambling 🤣 Ha! These 2 schools are the Biggest H.B.C.U. rivals on Earth as well! Anyway (I had to ramble for a minute), you have restored my faith in TALL people and H-D, bikes in general! I am 6'5" tall and I thought, for a long time that I would never be able to do something that I Love to do & that's ride H-D bikes. I know that I may need a few mods to accommodate my height, but I know it's doable. I thank God for you, your channel, your business, you (and your brothers) tall stature, your & family. I almost gave up on trying to ride a MC until I saw your videos, now I know that I too can experience the joy and freedom that being on 2 wheels can afford! Thank you Sir!
P.S. Not only am I tall but I'm heavy too, I can deal with that, my main concern was the height issue. Thanks Matt for posting your videos! H-D 4 Life!
Awesome vid Matt cheers for sharing 🤙🤙👍👍🇳🇿🇳🇿
Best looking Road Glide yet! This bike really appeared to be very smooth and stable through the twisties! Like the Helmet what model and brand?

Excelentes...!
Ok Matt I will see you in July when I come from FL to get my gift on my way to sturgis 80th.
Cpt Slick
Let me know! Thank you
Hey Matt love your videos ! I bought a 2019 CVO Street Glide last fall and I was wondering why didn't the CVO come with high way pegs ? I ordered a color match tour pack this winter and it paid for my winter storage lol ! Just thought the CVO come with everything ! The hardware is 99.99 and the kahuna pegs are 139.95 😂😂😂
I would trade in my 17' CVO Limited.
( But the book value will only get me into a " Sportstah " )
awesome reviews Matt,......but one quick question,... does a person get an authentic HD RUB patch with every bike sold with hill assist?
After watching your video for 2019 mako shark I bought one and I love it. 2020 seems pretty much same, I’m missing those heated grips tho.
The mako was a great color. 🤘🏻 enjoy the bike.
Surprised about the seat in terms of lack of long term comfort. Can you show us the seat you’d replace it with? I’d add a lower back pad rest/top box combo and taller screen. Agreed the build quality looks very high. Thanks for the trip.
Andrew Hoffman
I believe seat comfort has a lot to do with the rider, their build, and their tolerance. What is good for you may not be comfortable long term for me. I say that cause I have the 2018 CVO seat on my 2017 RGSpl. I have heard a lot of people complain that it’s not comfortable for a long run, but several hundreds miles a day are not an issue for me. But the stock RGSpl seat, man that thing sucked. But I like a firm seat.
I do like that bronze color a lot, I hope that trickles to other models
Damn purdy bike Matt
Harley secret weapon 🤘🏼
That gun metal color on motor is 🔥🔥🔥
I own a '19 CVO Road Glide with a chopped tour pack and love it. BUT, I may have to trade it in on this sand dune '20. As an old Army vet, this bike has my name written all over it. Matt, once again congrats on a great video and unfortunately your video has once again lightened my wallet lol.
GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Hey Matt I’m a taller guy like you. What seat do you prefer on your touring bike for long distance rides? Love the channel man!
Jw any input guys?
I’m 6’6” and went with the Le Pera Maverick Daddy Long Legs
Matthew Grisley thanks for the reply.
Any input from passengers which is more comfortable?
I own 2019 mako shark, I have two seats for it besides stock. Corbin is great and comfortable seat but makes me feel like I’m sitting taller, also have BBP seat which is skinnier great for around town but not to good for longer trips. Stock is ok for short trips but feels like I’m sliding much on it.
Love the bike, love the Road Glide...but I love the performance cruiser, so what do I do???
