Hey Guys, I wanted to correct something in my video that I was just made aware of. The Black triangular pieces at the bottom of the side covers that I said should have been paint-matched are actually removable covers. Underneath is the whole paint-matched side cover. So you can remove these black pieces to uncover that whole painted side cover! My Bad!

Thanks Matt, I think you're the first to find this out! I think they added black on the lower parts to make it more "performance" and less "showbike," looking, which some have criticized CVO's in the past.

I like the black better, those pieces painted in the body color would remind me of Honda Goldwing styling, just too much painted plastic in my oplnion.

For $40k everything should be perfect. Customer should be allowed to select the seat they like, the bars they like, the exhaust they like, etc. No money should have to be spent personalizing a $40k motorcycle. Just my two cents tho

​@ZildjianMan30 They tried that about 10 years ago with Sportsters, then Street Bob. It didn't last and my guess is because there is so many aftermarket parts like seats, bars, pegs, grips, mirrors, shocks, aircleaners, pipes, windshields, crash bars, etc etc. I think you will agree there is no way a person who can afford a $45K bike will not change something to make it fit their style or proportions.

@@sportyonetaubert5923 I'm not talking about aftermarket. Aftermarket = not made by or sponsored by the OEM. They could do OEM only bike building on their website by allowing the purchaser to spec out OEM handlebars, lights, fairings, speakers, wheels, etc. Again, car & truck manufacturers have done this for a very long time. If anyone thinks that HD bikes have a huge parts aftermarket, it's vast when it comes to modding cars & trucks. Yet car & truck manufacturers still do custom specifications from the individual. Indian, Honda, and other motorcycle manufacturers allow custom built orders, to varying degrees of customization. I think HD should try again, particularly for parts that can be put on bikes at the factory right now.

Nice bike but needless to say my 2022 Limited Roadglide in Gunship Grey is now all paid for & I’m good for a long time 😊!

The Street Glide looks way better IMHO. Hopefully the suspension trickles down to the ST or special portion of the lineup the CVO is cool, but I like the solo ST setup the most.

I’ve been riding all my life, but with those prices looking at a nice sports car😂. How long will HD survive if they keep raising prices 20% every year?

Another great video Matt and crew .

I agree about the dual headlight. Im sure the aftermarket will jump on this. 3" of rear suspension travel is an improvement for sure. A little disappointed that they didn't go with a mono shock. Many will argue they keep this type of setup to justify the low look. Other manufacturers are using mono shock setup and getting 4" at the rear suspension with combined performance and from a comfort perspective. Still quite a difference

I appreciate reviews from someone who has been around Harleys their whole life!!!

Very high quality video! Gorgeous bikes!!

Great review Matt. Saw the CVO RG yesterday at my local dealership. Styling on the headlight isn’t an immediate love affair. The bulbous unibrow look is definitely a departure from the dual headlights which we all came to love. Waiting for the fully configured Limited to make its appearance before making any final judgements. I do appreciate the leap forward the bike represents for Harley design and innovation.

One of the most common deadly accidents is cars & trucks turning left into the riders path claiming I didn’t see the bike coming. This new daylight visibility will hopefully dramatically reduce these types of accidents. Thank you HD to working on keeping us safe.

It’s nice , no question about it. I’m more of an old soul, my newest bikes are 2002’s both carb’d but my 1993 131” Fatboy is just a violent beauty that’ll leave your body sore after a full day’s riding.

Yet another comprehensive overview, thank you Matt. The Road glide has a really clean looking bar and clamp arrangement now but I’m just not sure about the looks of the new headlight cluster etc. I would have probably already bought the Street Glide CVO but for the slightly underwhelming paint. Even the whisky neat seems a little safe, especially considering what they are charging for it. Just a note on the current Street Glide cubby. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and it fits in my Street Glide ST when connected to a low profile right angled USB cable with the plug end of the phone inserted first. If you take the hot dog bun out it’s even easier but then your phone is rolling around in there. The new slide out drawer arrangement looks much more convenient.

I like the complicated process of push a button, flip up the door, and unscrew the gas cap procedure on my old Electra Glide, it makes it harder for the uninitiated to tamper with the gas without the inconvenience of a locking gas cap. I taught high school for three years, so you think about these things.

Great vídeo man! Love tech improvements, the screen seems like a BMW car

That strip headlight/fairing reminds me of the Robot “Gort” in The Day The Earth Stood Still.😊.

I’m curious to know if the bottom end of the motor has been strengthened up to account for the added torque the 121 puts out. I like the changes that Harley made to the CVO’s. They really did a great job with it. I do hope these can have a good idle lope when the mufflers are changed out.

Kudos to Harley for the major upgrades to these flagship bikes I really like the new looks of the Road Glide over the previous ones will be nice when Harley offers these bikes in other than a cvo so they can be affordable for the average customers.

Loving mine so far. Definitely wish the OS was faster to boot up. Also the bag hinges dont feel very sturdy especially when you have the upgraded speakers.

All these men are the legends themselves! Right now, I own a Royal Enfield with satisfaction and I hopefully own a Harley-Davidson too:)

Great video, Matt! Likely, this is the future of all Harleys, right? Part of me is excited and part is disappointed. I started the purchase process of a new Street Glide and at the last minute opted for an older (2005) Road King. Better looking and less tech won me over. Now, after watching this video and hearing words like software, ride modes and remote locks, I’m now thinking I may buy an even older bike may be in my future. I suppose this is a fork in the road.

Hey Matt, Thanks again for another great review. I love the high quality video footage as well, compliments! I have a question you might have an answer to: what cam comes on this CVO model? (Stage 1 or 2)? Will it be the same cam upgrade procedure now with the VVT on the engine? I ask as I'm assuming there's quite a bit of flex to upgrade the performance with this better cooled 121 with VVT and the other improvements 🙂. Thanks and I look forward to your next video's, Maarten

@MattLaidlaw

11 ай бұрын

Good question. I don't know if I have an exact answer that you're looking for but the cam is completely new so it isn't a stage (X) cam. Any stock cam isn't considered a stage cam. This new stock cam has a higher lift and duration when compared to the 114 M8 cams. I don't know what a stage 2-3 cam will look like in the future if/when H-D comes out with one. I assume they will. It will probably shift the power around and favor torque or HP.

BIkes look awesome IMO, love the general styling of the bike in particular the panniers though as they appear to be wider I can see some form of scuff protection is going to be needed for when you are getting on and off the bike. The switchgear may be a bit fiddly with winter gloves on however the all digital screen is ace. Glad to see they have sorted the suspension as for a touring bike the rear suspension in particular is abominable on the touring models; I've just spent £1,000 on some new shocks for my 2018 Road King because of this. Riding solo 99% of the time my current 107 engine is perfectly adequate so the 121 must be awesome however what's the rear tyre life going to be like. That said if you can afford one of these then rear tyre life and servicing cost is probably of no concern.
