CVO Road Glide ST Is What Harley-Davidson Needs To Become.

Looks like Tom cruise in those sun glasses.

Harley is on the right track and finally playing table stakes.

If you see one in person, then ride one... you'll be blown away. Be as cynical as you like, the experience may prove dangerous. It was to me. In fact, after riding the CVO ST, I was kind of ruined. Something got into my circulatory system and invaded my brain. It happened through my eyes, hands, feet, and butt. Crazy how Harley has infected me with this virus.

I almost bought the shark skin blue road glide as my first motorcycle. Do you think it can be a beginner bike??? I got the HD fever!!!!

Complete miss. Pointless making it a CVO. Should have just completed with the "race ready" Indian version. Handlebar bushings way too soft, still fairing vents you cant close and horn is a complete afterthought. Manually adjustable suspension? Yawn. Still 10 years behind the competition.

Love the video

While this is no doubt the best touring motorcycle you can buy for $43K+, I'd suggest spending $33K on an air bag Gold Wing and get the best touring bike at any price.

Nice couch

Oh, come on. Look at that size. Price tag. Weight. Did I mention the price and the size? Please be real. This cannot possibly be what HD needs more of. Indeed, they need far more of exactly the opposite. They need to study Triumph *real hard. HD has the engineering and manufacturing capability. They are missing design and vision.

Thanks, but no thanks. It really doesn't fit my style of riding, so that fact and the cost make it less appealing to me. I prefer a sport tourer with more of an emphasis on sport.

Really nailed it with this bike! I'm sure it was a blast to ride on the track!

I love that Harley thinks that another overpriced, farkle festooned barn for fat dentists is what's needed to save the brand 😂

Very nice looking bikes but when is Harley going to upgrade the junk internals? I just spent $1200 on new lifters for my 2021 Road Glide Special and it still sounds like shit every time I cold start it.

And I'll still be stuck behind these riders going as fast as a minivan with handicap plates in the canyons.

These bikes are really expensive. But they will sell well, because they are what we want. You can easily drop 20 k on a standard HD to get it anywhere near this .

Wow! Real innovative H-D. That’s going to bring you young, new riders and save the company for sure.

LOL Rockford Fosgate. The 2010's want their audio systems back. Cool bikes though.

The usual comments “30’s engine, old tech, overpriced this and that, my (insert your bike) is better for half the money” …there is nothing new or brilliant about those opinions. I’ve owned a lot of brands of bikes..all fun and all have something I don’t like. It’s only HD that the dumb repeated comments come in.

Nice coverage Kase.

great

I'm gonna pull the trigger on a Raven Black one. Cost prohibitive is relative. Any project car will easily exceed this price and you'll hold value here. 5yr cost of ownership is probably really good and you get something extremely special. Try that on 4 wheels. Also, kinda funny talking about value while wearing $200 sunglasses.

Great review though.

Goldwing > CVO

Become? It's making them, right? If you're suggesting that's all they make, I disagree. If I want a bike that goes fast, there are plenty I can buy that go a hell of a lot faster for much less money. That's not at all why most people buy Harleys.

Finally Harley pays attention to actual performance. I think this bike looks awesome and has all the performance bling BUT it is so damn EXPENSIVE! I could own 2 or 3 motorcycles that would out perform this for so much more value. Like most things in todays world I like, it’s just too much money.

Nice bike but damn that's a high price point.

Real forged carbon fiber is an oxymoron. Carbon fiber is not forged. Marketing nonsense

That's an awesome bike

that's a waste of some decent parts. Weird mix of 10 year old tech with a 1930's engine

Big and heavy enough to demand respect but still it allows you to master riding it. I suppose they save five dollars shipping and can move more parts around on the forklift. Sometimes less is more especially on the top end.
