Plain and simple there is no wrong answer. If you want a blank slate to customize to your preferences buy the Street Glide, but if you're looking for done and dusted, the CVO is the best choice.
The best blank canvass is the electra glide standard from top to bottom
Love those wheels!! All CVO should come with the 131"!! And more stuff for that price!
I started with a special and then upgraded to my CVO it’s a great bike , with no regrets what a bike !
I love my 2019 CVO Road Glide, I don’t regret spending the extra over a Special, best bikes in my opinion!
Hey Matt! On Wednesday 11. of March I picked up my new Ultra Limited 2020 in River Rock Gray (important: manufactured in USA), an absolutely awsome bike!
I was lucky, because 3 days later the dealer had to close due to corona.
Stay healthy and greetings from Austria.
Purgatory enjoy the bike. The corona is screwing a lot of things up
That is the top of the food chain there . They are about as good as it gets for a Harley touring bike. Good video and review. Thanks. This video is something to take our minds of all this insanity
For the $ they could do more things to it.
John .....they have leave a few things for YOU to add and make it yours!
Aaaayyeee. Matt lookin pretty fly in that slowmo walk out.
Definitely cheaper to buy a CVO versus adding all the parts to a StreetGlide or StreetGlide Special. Thanks Matt & Nick!
Thanks for watching Ryan 👍🏻
The Motor Company ought to make some CVO Softails.
Right. Not everyone rides a Road or Street Glide.
I have a 2018 Low Rider that I've done some work on since Harley doesn't offer anything extra for the Softails.
Low rider s Boom there it is...
A CVO fat bob or fxdr with actual performance parts like ohlins and brembos and the 117 engine would be amazing.
Still loving my 18 Road Glide CVO
I ride solo so the only thing I would change is the rear seat for a touring pack 1 with back rest for extra comfort. All up a pretty amazing bike you’d have for at least 5 years to get value out of your spend.
A sharp looking ride for sure. We were out for a ride this afternoon and it was eery how little traffic there was! Thanks Matt for giving us an escape from the current state of things. Stay Safe. 😷🏍
Street glide is so beautiful, love that bike. Miss mine
Just incredible you have everything you could possibly need on a motorcycle Thank you for the video Nicholas and Matt take care Gus
I did exactly what I bet a lot of people do. I bought a 2019 StreetGlide Standard and proceeded to make it into my Standard Special mini CVO. 😂 Well. At least I made it into the look I really wanted. I know I won’t get the value out of what I put into it, I love it 🥰 Ride safe
Thank you for explaining in simple terms. I agree for those who like to customize their bikes and personalize them the CVO is NOT for them. But the rest of us who don't really "tinker" its the best way to go, especially if you were going to upgrade your bike with all the amenities anyway. Keep up the great content!
You guys are killing it with videos. And your input on the bikes has become gold to me!
Thank you!
Great video. I liked the kind of insider look of the dealership and when the new bikes come off the truck. Also like those colors on the bikes, those look cool. Thanks for sharing with us.
Wonderful vid, y'all. Being a guy that uses his bike as a daily commuter, I REALLY appreciate Matt's common sense approach to shopping/chosing a motorcycle. Personally, I ride a Ultra Limited Low to work every day....and need the storage for stuff I take to work, and because I have a 40 mile ride one way, it helps having space for rain gear and such... And, don't get me wrong... I LOVE my 2015 Ultra Limited. It does everything I need it to do. But, I hafta admit....
I'd L O V E to experience a CVO ride every day....practical or not. Lol...
Murdog Music thanks for the feedback. We are always playing with the format of our videos.
Thx for this review and vid. You kind of inspired little but ago to record while I ride. Lol. I agree about the cvo. If you are going to get it don’t mess with it too much.
Nice man keep it up !
"You have a rolling work of art"
I absolutely love my 2019 FLHXSE ... Big Bang for the bucks for sure!!
I own Indian Chieftain 18 and it's a dope bike with some custom stuff . But this CVO compering to Chieftain Elite is just absolutely amazing, Harley really did good job to some details!! Air filter , mufflers, wheels, paint, I can go on and on... Chieftain Elite comes with most stock regular parts, I mean very disappointing from Indian. Good job Harley.
Hey Matt got my color matched tourpack and highway pegs done on my 2019 CVO Street Glide ! Love it 😁
Jason Frost I love it. 👍🏻👍🏻
Your videos are like a calming cup of Barry's Irish tea,which I'm enjoying right now.
We will all be riding sooner than we think.
Cheers from a pure Yank.
Maris Alchimovics thank you 👍🏻 we appreciate you watching.
Thanks for the great review- looks badass
Very happy with my 2016 Fatboy S, ...always thought i'll never ever sell it, ... hmmmm ;) awesome bikes and, as always, a great video.
Greetings from Germany & stay healthy!
..Alex, have you seen the pics/vid of the 2020 30th Anniversay Fat Boy ? pretty nice...
Hi James, yes I did. You‘re right, the design/the looks is awesome. I‘ve ridden the „M8 Fatboy“ and i must say, the handling of the bike is not for me, due to the wheel sizes. „Form follows function“ was probably not the aim of HD with this bike ;) Have a nice Easter & take care !
Alex
Beautiful bikes. I would love to have one some day. Great video guys very professional. Keep it up. Ride safe and God bless
Great video Matt I like both of them
Great video gents. During my last purchase it was between a used 2018 CVO or a 2017 SGS, with exhaust, seat and rack. Due to price point, and trade value I stuck with the SGS and so far the only change I made is 12" KST bars, but have a fueling cam going in soon. CVOs look damn good for sure.
Thanks Matt informative!
Hey Matt thanks a lot for the great info on the CVO. I'd love to hear more of how the CVO sounds while you're riding it maybe you can mount the camera on the rear so we can get some sound bites. 👍
Ahhh Nick was like boing! 🤘⚡️🤘
Hey Matt, compliments for your reviews, always precise and inspirational. I'm considering shift worlds to HD from big trail's... let's see how it goes. Cheers Luiz
luiz h galvao the H-D life is good. They are fun bikes to own. Good luck 👍🏻
Another awesome SHOW
Absolutely gorgeous motorcycle
The cvo is a cool looking bike I would prefer HD slim so I can make it look the I want it with HD custom parts

ekim westend I second that 💪😎
ekim westend...I third that💪😎
Thanks guys ...great videos
Dig that color theme 👌😎🔥
Great rundown of the CVO Street Glide.
Great video Matt! I live in Central Florida, but if I lived anywhere near your dealership, I’d definitely buy from you.
Jim Berry thank you
Like the addition of humour .
This bike is the work of big hearted people What brother chem Masha Allah Subhan Allah CVO..?
Sin duda la moto más bonita del mercado....
$40,539.00 plus fees according the Harley website. Wish I had the free cash. Very nice.
Love that bike
I never could talk myself into spending the extra money for a CVO even though (a retired dealer) I was trading for a new street glide or road glide every year. That was until I saw the 2019 two tone silver with all chrome accessories Road Glide. I had already changed from the street glide to road glide after owning one for a year, and yes I agree, the road glide fairing is not as good looking as the street glide,,,,but where I found the big difference is how solid the road glide is over the street glide when an 18 wheeler goes by you,,,either direction,,,,and I noticed it was less work in a hard all day side wind like heading to Sturgis on interstate 90. I also feel it handles better at slow speed because you're not pushing the weight of the fairing mounted on the handlebars. So I'm spoiled now,,,,,love all the extras and yes,,,they add up to a lot more enjoyable motorcycle, so I'll be keeping this one for awhile.
Ocala Fl.
Yea the road glide is legit. Everyone has their opinion. The Road glide looks great too don’t get me wrong.
Enjoy the bike the 19 CVO is awesome
Great job Nick
Thanks Mike!
Suweeeet, I can't let my son see this CVO, LoL, and I spotted the CVO Tri Glide to,oh no, I love it, but I got to much money tied up in my 17 Tri Glide, good job brother 💯✌️😎
OZARKS H-D RIDER'S thanks man. Enjoy the bike
@@MattLaidlaw anytime Brother 👍💯
...hey Nick, hey Matt, well sorted...i think the design, paint and style of the CVO's really are the deciding factor...you have to love the look of that bike, other upgrades are secondary, to invest...i have one of those SG Specials you allude to, and much like your own, it's mine, we had a personal vision we were able, more or less, to fulfill...now a Cow Glide, for instance might still appeal to me...
F’in snow! I want to ride.
First time #1, yippy for me lol...
Haha Nice
PA, NY, And NJ just went on "Lock Down" My dealerships are closed. How are you still open?
I think when you buy a cvo they should come with the 131 motor. The 117 is cool but the cvo is supposed to have the beat and newest things from Harley Davidson.
Best
These bikes came out before the 131 was made, next year though I agree
Nick Culver good point and do agree with you about next year.
Beautiful bike. Well done explanation. Little rich for me but if I could............you bet.
They removed the lower fairings with the speakers. A downgrade compared to previous model years imo.
Improved shift linkage. Very nice.
Other thoughts -
Nice Fiero at 15:44 LOL
Wish my desk 17:55 was that neat!
Brisys Consulting good eye on the Fierro
The same bike my buddy bought after I showed him your previous comparison video of the Street Glides should come from factory with the bolts black though
His ol lady rides a Ducati 959 Panagale and says the CVO feels faster than her Duke when she rides it
I thought all CVO have Chrome everything!😎
As far as the braking difference, my theory is that the lager diameter wheel has more leverage against braking than the smaller diameter wheel.
MR.Culver
I made a lame comment trying to be witty in your direction. You responded politly and I thought about and then deleted it.
I really enjoyed this information that was explained and answered all my questions
Appreciate.
Kind regards
SHUTUPSHAUN
No worries, it went over my head as many things do, I am not a smart man. Thanks for watching, and your kind regards. :)
Hey Matt, quick question. Am I able to order the 2020 cvo seat from a dealership? I understand there's knock offs on Amazon, and I understand there's a similar one in the P&A catalog, but I really like the look of this specific model year with the tuck n roll.
@Mattlaidlaw This is a bit off subject, but I notice u ride with a outlaw bandit helmet. Does yours fog up on the inside of the visor. And if not I'm wondering if it has something to do with climate. Since ur down in SoCal, its warmer, there for u wouldn't be exhaling warm air to make it fog up. Wheres I up in Seattle Wa with the weather cooler notice when I'm riding and exhaling I'm fogging up like mad. But the Bandit is the only helmet that does it. I have others like Bell that never fog up no matter how cold it is. Anyway, was just hoping to get some insight. Hope it is just the weather conditions and it wont do it when its warmer out. Thx!
Shane Eayrs mine doesn’t fog but like you said I don’t ride in the same weather as you. There are anti-fog sprays you can get though.
@@MattLaidlaw That's gotta be it. I'll wait till its warmer out then try it. I do love the helmet, it's very comfortable. But thanks for responding anyway.
matt laidlaw I herd you where going to take the ceo position I think your the man for that
ekim westend probably have to take a pay cut and answer to idiots all day lol
ekim westend Wish he would 💪😎
ekim westend not sure I’m qualified for that. Sounds stressful as well 😬
Man when will this boi launch in india?
Please tell me about the seat on the cvo are they comfortable ? I have the standard CVO seat on my street Glide special and they suck
The CVO seat is great for 1.5 to 2 hours. After that it's not very comfortable. The CVO limited has the all day seat on it.
@@TH3G0ODGUY Wow Nick thx for getting back so fast.... I just want something nice that looks cool but comfortable for me and the wife, sounds like its not possible.
@@bobbyparson9229 yeah, I mean I think the stick seat is pretty comfortable but we all have different butts. If I was going to do lots of two up long distance riding I would buy the limited instead, it's the better tool for that job.
The seat height is so low that my knees are above the gas tank at 6'3". Rear shocks are horrible. If you take the bags off it looks unsightly. What's with that? Gorgeous paint.
I'll just buy a Honda Goldwing.
I have been to dealerships where they say they can't order CVOs and that HD Corp sends the dealerships CVOs based solely at their (HD Corp) discretion. True or False?
MojoMan Murph false. The quantity however is based on your bar and shield score with Harley
Awesome bike and they bend you over with the price.
you think can this be used as a daily?
Off topic but is the virus going to hurt harley? They were already dying slowly so wondering if this will kill them faster?
Oh definitely, was pointless to make this video actually. We actually shot this before COVID-19 picked up it's pace in the US, but yeah it's over for Harley now. Sad too, 117 year run. Thanks for watching!
Sarcasm? Seems a bit hyperbolic lol. My question wasnt to be a db it was an honest question about what we are dealing with these days...thx for replying...
@@eagle1hd Every company with slowing sales in a shrinking market isn't dying. Suzuki has seen sales fall massively over the last decade, they aren't dying. Every business has ups and downs, over 117 years Harley has been through harder times than these.
We've got the Pan America and Bronx on the way, the Low Rider S has been a massive success, and Harley is continuing to try and build not only their market share, but the number of riders in the US.
Its unfortunate that this Virus has struck, closing down the factory and causing large amounts of the us workforce to be layed off, but as a nation we will recover, and so will harley. As I said, if you've got 117 years under your belt, you will have had some ups and downs.
They need to do a cvo road king agian. It's been like 7 years now.
Question: When did chrome fall out of fashion? I'm not a big fan of the blacked out engine, pipes etc.....
Beautiful bike but the blacked out scheme is a deal breaker.
I need street GLIDE 😖
Yo Matt..youve mentioned in your vids Laidlaw's doesnt charge added dealer fees, etc. but when I reached out to yall about a RG, yall were asking 3k over msrp. What's up w/ that?
Unfortunately we do have to charge this annoying thing called sales tax and registration. We don’t charge 3k over MSRP.
@@MattLaidlaw thanks for the response. Definitely understand reg and tax, but didnt expect to get a quote of 24k+ on the RG. All good though looking forward to buying a bike off yall one day
@@willyafg Did you want one without the upgrade navigation or something? According to harley's website, MSRP is 21,699 for black, its 895 for the radio, freight is 435, and california emissions is 200. If you wanted RDRS thats another 995, and a color option is a 500 dollar premium as well. So you just add up the options you do or do not want, then its roughly 10 percent for tax and license.
@@TH3G0ODGUY i got a local dealer here in TX to give me those options as well and OTD was less than MSRP on a new RG. Was hoping yall could top their offer.
@@willyafg Give you what options?
How do you become a mechanic at a Harley-Davidson dealer?
I wonder if Harley will delay the release of the Pan America due to this pandemic?
Jim Beam hopefully not.
Street Glide is best
U guys still open?? Everything is close in Cali
Hensend22 yes we are.
hello i for got to coment on cvo trike review good job l wish i could afford to buy one cost in australia for cvo trike is 73300 lot of money
The CVO trike review is still there, and you can still comment on it.
Nick Culver i have come ted now haven’t i lol yes cvo trike is amazing job from harley-davidson
Laidlaw in slow mo, lmao.
What separates the costs from a CVO is extreme cost to the consumer
Can you get true mirrors?
Instead of the "closer than appears" crap.
I don’t think H-D offers them, no. Maybe you can find them in the aftermarket. I haven’t looked before.
HOW ABOUT A CVO DYNA ? SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
My constructive criticism on this video: The whole time you're talking about all the things on the bike, we should be seeing those things and just do a voice overlay.
Thanks for watching and the feedback!
OMG!!! A new Harley with a heel shifter? Whats this world coming to? Lol.
Paul Daluz that’s the CVO difference 😂
@@MattLaidlaw I agree with you. I know guys that dump tens and tens of thousands of dollars into a bike to look half as good as a CVO. Or you can get a CVO that's tricked out from the factory at more of a bargain comparatively.
I don't agree that their paint jobs are the best and sometimes they look so much better with a fresh paint job that is custom tailored to the customer.
What's the better sound system, 2019 or 2020 CVO? I personally think they should have keep the 6 speakers.
The 2019 has the better sound system, but the trade off is you have to have the lowers. some guys like them, and some guys don't. I don't like the lowers, but like I said in the video, I think when they removed them they should have added a 21 inch wheel up front to make up for it.
HOT!!!
Hi Matt, can I suggest that you make videos ala Doug De Muro.. first describing about the bikes first then finish it by driving it around.
Isn't that kind of what we are doing already, just with higher production value?
Uncle Nuar you are clearly new to this channel; review the years worth of reviews done here then rethink the need to ask this
No. I mean, I have been following this channel for some time but it feels like it lacks something that attracts me to watch it until the video ends. But may be its just me, sorry for the troubles.
Hey man. I appreciate the feedback. I already do exactly what you said but I think there is something Doug does better than me in the delivery or something because he does keep people’s interest better (I think). If you can identify exactly what it is about his delivery that would be helpful.
Should have lowers......
Same bike different paint
Road Glide.....best for tall folk....and not everyone has one!
I don't mean to sound like an ass, but I hope Nick doesn't take over doing the video, test rides. He's just a kid and not really a Harley expert. I know Matt is busy with sales management, and I can see him passing the torch to Nick to take some of the burden off. Still I'm a old head and I prefer Matt and his extensive knowledge about the brand.
Millennials.
My content has and always will be supplemental to Matt's, you don't have to worry about me taking over the channel. Matt can usually only edit one video a week, and I can usually only do 1 video every two weeks or so. But that will work out to about 20 extra videos for the channel over the course of the year, which if I dont make them they simply wouldn't get made at all. I know I'm no Matt, but Matt and I agreed it was better than not doing the video at all.
Roger S. I’ll be doing most the videos. Nick knows his stuff so I’m grateful he is going to be doing some content creation on here.
First
Quarantine sucks.
Thanks for the videos guys! Love this channel and your dealer!!!
@@gregoriojuarez1579 Yea, it's crazy out there right now.
@@gregoriojuarez1579 Thanks for watching
Go back home OK You’re not captain laidlaw you sell a cvo and will catch a corona😱
I already caught it and beat it. I’m immune now. So in a sense, yes, I am captain Laidlaw.
May all gods bless you!
Yeh but its not an indian
And good thing too!
Nick Culver ...agreed🍻
Peter Parker, typical Indian rider, you like good motorcycles but they have to be ugly😂 you can also ride a beautiful motorcycle, you deserve it, go for it🤟🏻✌🏻
When they lost the lower Fairings and Chrome they Lost Me! It’s cheaper to paint 🎨 than to chrome ! Harley disguises their Cost cutting production measures on what should be a Premium Bike ! No thanks! Yes I’m 54 & remember what a Real CVO used to be!
