HARLEY DAVIDSON CVO’S ARE A SCAM

[@brianheffernan8982]

I agree, Hollywood. The CVO is way overpriced. In fact, all Harley's are getting overpriced.

[@JA-zh5xi]

I don’t think that is the case relative to other bikes within the same categories. Plus Harley resale is much better - purchase price is only half the equation.

[@giovannicarosa8819]

I agree bro all Harleys over priced. You buy a new Harley and spend 20k or better right. Ok well now if you want it to actually sound like a Harley, that’s another 5k. There are many superior motorcycles for the same money. Myself I’m a Honda guy. You buy a new Goldwing $28k and all you got to do is ride it. It comes stock with over 100 hp and over 100 ft lbs of torque. I’ve seen guys get 300k miles on their Wings. Please show me a Harley that has that many miles and hasn’t been completely rebuilt…I come from a family where Harley is it, all my uncles ride Harleys, my dad rode a Harley. I’m just not with what you actually get for the money spent.

Agreed. I am so done with Harley. Overpriced on all models. The road glide 3 is hilarious. Sweet looking but 40k after all fees. Lmao. Doesn’t even give you a handjob.

[@larrypontelandolfo9304]

I have owned 6 CVO's so far and currently have 2 in the garage. The problem I see that has started is HD is giving less and charging more. Many bikes now have the 117 . It's not exclusive anymore. They run the same wheels, Kahuna collection, seats etc for 4 or 5 years and keep raising the price. No more xm radio etc.. Gunship grey was an exclusive CVO color in 2018, now lots of bikes have it.. These are some of the things that I don't think are fair...

[@williamcolon5393]

I think that since SARS-II came out and everything got messed up, Harley Davidson dealerships have taken every opportunity to screw the living hell out of customers on new bikes with outrageous market adjustment or what ever other bull shit schemes they can think up, to jack up their profit margin and screw the living hell out of their customers. There's lots of new Road Glides, Street Glides and Road Kings on dealership floors at Antelope Valley HD in CA, near me.

There was one article afew weeks ago that said some smaller police departments was going away from Harley Davidson to either the Indian Chieftain or BMW Style Cruisers to save money for other pieces of equipment.

[@mrwhite2628]

The Highway Patrol in Oklahoma has already dropped H-D for BMW's. Many of the larger cities are doing the same. Better bikes at a cheaper price is a no brainer.

[@nevillegreg1]

Yes, you are 100% correct. Paint, badges and added on bits which (you may not put on just the same) all make a CVO go better, go faster, handle better - right? Just HD BS propaganda which many folks fall for. I think auto locking bags are deserving but it fails if when you press the lock button it doesn't also lock the steering - as on a BMW. A CVO does not have automatically adjustable suspension - preload and rebound (say at the handlebars or programming) - like what comes standard on BMW, Triumph, Ducati, Pan America Special (noting the Pan America Special isn't a CVO). No electric adjustable windscreen height on the CVO neither. Having all these things on a CVO would make it deserving of being 'premium' and would make it special - just like the differences between a C Class and an S Class Mercedes - it's about the motor/power and premium features, not just premium paint and badges. Not sure I would call it a scam, just open marketing BS from the MCoy for the gullible HD consumer. Love is blind as they say. Too many HD tragics are blind to the HD marketing machine and HD knows and uses this to their advantage. Clearly, you and me aren't buying the CVO and other HD BS, even though we like our Harleys.

50k for a factory stock bike HARD PASS Any bike from the factory floor is stock.... Could spend 5k on a used bagger and drop 5k in to it and have a far better tourer set up 100% for your style. NEVER BUY FROM A STEALERSHIP.

I actually bought a used 2019 Fat Boy 114 in 2022 with 236 miles for $18k and the previous owner put about $5k of goodies into it.

I’m too from Illinois , and always have had same thought about most toys here where we only get 4-6 months of good enjoyable riding weather and just don’t benefit from investing in . I always say if and when I move to warmer state then I can treat that as primary wheels not just seasonal . Therefore makes more sense to spend big on cars or trucks . However if I was going to invest 10k -15k plus on add-on’s for similar look or features , it’s a better investment and resale value to buy CVO . If you truly want that one of kind custom bike , get a standard and strip away and start fresh , one of kind paint job a must . Although will never get what you invested on trade . Maybe one day we’ll get that perfect Harley Davidson factory that will let us custom order a build from scratch like auto manufacturers. At a whopping 45k-50k it’s crazy to think it might not be a real fit and comfort and have to change for bars , seat , controls ,windshield even new shocks for another 5k-10k , without getting into motor exhaust and sound upgrades. Not my sense of “Custom Vehicle Operations”! Thanks for the insight !👍🏽

[@valis992000]

I'm getting to be chronic with the comments I guess, but anyway.....I so totally agree about the paint job and customizing in general. Buying a CVO paint job or bolting on parts from a place like JP is not "custom", it's just bolting on after market stuff. Nothing wrong with it, it's your money do what you want with it, but IMO it's way more fun to try to fabricate truly custom stuff on your own. Especially if you can afford a second bike you don't need as a daily rider. You can experiment and try building your own stuff, and when you are done you have pride in it and the only one like it.

[@thomasallen832]

You can buy the “special” with a 114 for 30-32 grand. Which is 10 thousand to much! You can do a lot with 20,000! Plus there are so many bikes with no miles out there. If you ride much the value is destroyed. Oh yeah, it’s not custom paint if there’s an exact replica parked beside it!

It’s definitely not a value buy and it’s a pretty ludicrous amount to charge for any bike like you stated, especially given how much many Harley dealerships mark up prices. At the end of the day, for most years, you could by a Special or ST and do a stage 1 or stage 2 upgrade and have similar engine performance. Paint jobs aren’t worth paying an extra $20k in my opinion either. That being said, the upgrades and changes on this year’s CVOs look sweet and I can’t wait to see that tech and those features trickle down. But I will be waiting for that instead of spending $50k+.

I bought it to ride not sale it. Frankly I liked the paint job and don't care if someone else has the same one. The CVO was perfect for me because it came with up grades I didn't have to do anything with it... I bought a slim s that basically is a CVO and didn't need to change it either, but I got things on both that wasn't even available on the regular version 👌long story short CVO Harley Davidson bikes are not for everyone but I never hear the people that bought a new one saying they regret they did 🤣

40k is my top dollar

[@johnward8014]

If you have the money, buy it. I'll judge you though, RUB.

[@timnevitt2993]

i have had two cvo,s and went to look at a new new one and saw 50,000+. i told them they can kiss my ass and bought a road glide st for 21,000 less

[@duanesmith5074]

Well I comment nobody ever says anything so I guess it must be eliminated because they don't fit the Harley fanboy model. You guys do realize that you can buy two incredible motorcycles that will go anywhere and do anything way more horsepower way better handling virtually everything we're looking for for the price of one of these heavy overpriced can't handle motorcycles. I have four hundred fifty thousand miles on Road Glide on road Glides I have been all over the United States this evio's are ridiculously priced for what you're and Google's voice dictation is absolutely terrible

[@MRGS48]

You don’t say!!?? 🤣🤣🤣 I wanna see the geezers face at a stop light with a CVO and I roll with a 135 Low rider S and a killer paint job for let’s assume 40K🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Slking507]

Overpriced? Absolutely. A scam? Nope. They are what they say they are. Hand built vs mass produced.

[@feloniousmonk3049]

@@insanewheels Nope....

[@Slking507]

@insanewheels hand built vs mass produced. You don't understand the difference and it shows. Yes, it indeed matters 5 years down the road. Doesn't mean I want one. There is for sure a big difference.

[@gunshipgray4295]

ALL HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLES ARE OVER PRICED….I STOPPED BUYING HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLES BECAUSE OF THEIR PRICE POINT….I SWITCHED TO INDIAN…..CVO’s are NO BETTER THAN THE TEST OF THE CHOICES NOW….ZEITZ IS A VERY POOR EXCUSE FOR A CEO….I DO NOT LIKE HIM AND I DO NOT LIKE THE DIRECTION HE IS TAKING THE COMPANY..

Hw, you know what'z up..!

[@erisgh0sted961]

Buy used. Do your own work, and cut out the dealership completely.

[@six.....]

I believe they are worth the money if one ever comes out that I love I wouldn't be against getting my first cvo

[@Harleyfunman]

Total Junk

[@magasaurus7210]

Curious to see if he has anything legitimate to bring up, or if this is another “I can’t afford it so it sucks” video. I’d like to remind everyone of what prices looked like in the early 2000’s, when a road King was $35k lol.

[@GTGibbs]

I’m perfectly happy with my 2001 De-Heritage’d Softail

[@GTGibbs]

I’d go back to a gen-shovel or try a Evo. I do like the CVO Breakout. But no can afford one.

[@jaspajones7045]

I can afford one. Just not worth it for sitting unused in northeast for six months.

[@mrwhite2628]

H-D sells CVO's because there is a Sucker born every minute. I love my current Harley's. But I completely despise the MoCo. Would never buy another one. All these new 'special' features like central locking saddlebags, linked brakes and such. Have been standard on Goldwings since 2001.

[@fq7879]

I heard that harley does not paint their cvos. They farm it out. Is that true?
