Regrets Already?! The🏍️2023 Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide SUCK?!

What is wrong the 2023 CVO Street Glide, am I having buyers remorse?! What can go wrong with this Harley?!

[@douglaskirk3036]

I just bought this exact bike. Absolute truth, the bike is nimble and rides like a bike half its weight. I also have a 2019 Road Glide CVO and without a doubt the Street glide is head and shoulders above the Road glide. Im 62 and this is without a doubt the BEST bike Ive ever ridden. Now the down side. Ive had the bike for a month now and the radiator has a leak and is covered by warranty. The wind shield is much better then the original one on my Road Glide which sucked bad and I put a Klockwerks on it to fix that, this bike the shield is better but also sucks. Yesterday I put on the mid size windshield by Harley....WOW.. it looks pretty darn good and it works perfectly. I swear, you actually have to turn the stereo down a bit now and it takes at least 50% more wind off you. The stereo is absolutely amazing, its even loud enough to hear at highway speeds. I put some Tab 50 Cals with the Zombie baffles in chrome and put black slash cut tips on the back. It sounds amazing. I cant stay off this thing.

[@therink123]

Congrats! Such an awesome machine, and it looks so nice with the new re-designed front end! That's a shame the problems you encountered! Good thing you caught it early and got it covered by the motor company! The stereo is loud indeed, I have it at like 20% or less at lights or in general traffic. Can't stop riding it neither man! Ride safe!

[@carminecalucciCVO]

I totally concur. I own the 2024 RG CVOST I think it’s on another level the 23 CVO’s and up are just on another level. Harley did a great job of course There are some Shortcomings but that’s with any brand, but the fact of the matter is I don’t even want to ride my 2020 RG CVO Anymore it feels top-heavy to me now.

[@therink123]

Yeah right?! It’s feels different than any of the previous year glides. Hard to believe until you actually ride one, then, at least for me, it’s so obvious. Glad to see another rider who appreciates the new glides for what they are! Ride safe and thanks for watching!

[@tz1592]

Glad you love it, thanks for your comments. I test drove the CVO street and road glides at the 120th. Loved the effortless power. I'm going to buy a new CVO if I like the colors in 24. I think the current colors are really nice, but I want a darker mako shark blue or black CVO, I hope Harley comes out with one in January. Fingers crossed.

[@therink123]

I feel you, I’d like to have darker colouring options as well. Like you said, the 23 are nice, something darker would be up my alley! Thanks man!

[@tz1592]

Hey, I left you a comment about a month ago. On Saturday I purchased a 2024 CVO Road Glide in Legendary Orange. I love the color, it's classic Harley. I'm 52 so that's probably why I love this color. Taking delivery tomorrow. Believe it or not, it had some starting issues at the dealership. They're putting in a new battery. Hope you haven't had any starting issues where it doesn't turn over. They're saying the batteries have to be fully charged to work well. Can't wait for warm weather so I can take it out for a ride. It has 1 mile on it!! Hope you still love yours. @@therink123

[@therink123]

@@tz1592 Hey there! Big congrats to your new purchase! You're gonna enjoy it so much! The new colours of 24 are super nice! If I were to buy one, it'd probably be a headache trying to choose between the two. I have been enjoying my Street Glide and there really haven't been any issues whatsoever. Dealer also mentioned about the battery, I have mine on tender regardless so that's cool. I can't wait for the weather to warm up. Keep us posted on your new bike! Congrats again!

@@therink123 Also, Harley Farms out the super cool paint jobs to a place in Colorado called Gunslinger. They did my 2019 RG CVO in Mako Shark fade and sure enough same group did this SG CVO as well.....great paint.

[@markman7]

These CVO bikes were rushed into production for earnings reports and sales numbers. Make no mistake about it, this bike hasn't been properly validated. Screen glitches and sidestand issues are just the beginning.

[@therink123]

I was really lucky and haven’t seen any of the reports issues on my CVO. Feel so bad for those who paid this kind of price and have to deal with those horrendous problems, down times and perhaps the lost of confidence as well.

[@terrellgarren7125]

Boy was that a good prediction with the new safety recall.

[@coleplaninzful]

I liked the 2021 117 Milwaukee black paint job along with the pipes and positioning shape of the saddle bags, those two things are a must for my next CVO.

[@therink123]

Think that was the year of the black hole paint scheme. Loved that bike! Agree with the bag positions, they definitely give a more sporty vibe!

[@HD-on2eg]

Bike looks awesome! How’s the wind buffeting?

[@therink123]

Thanks bro! It’s slightly better than the previous models. I’d say roughly 20% better. It’s definitely less stuffy though.

[@user-ou4ks4ll3u]

Very nice! Waiting on what Harley will release later this month. And hopefully their Icons this year will be more meaningful! Cheers!

[@therink123]

Hey there! Me too, thinking of changing up the lineup but want to see what they release later this month and what they will release later for their Icons Collection as well.

[@thanosetsitty1896]

I don’t own one(thank goodness). But I’ve test rode both street glide and road glide and I was not that impressed with them. I don’t think they are worth the money to be honest. I own a 21 street glide special right now and I still love my bike. I think I would have buyers remorse right away. I don’t know. Great video and ride safe.

[@therink123]

Thank for the comment! I think it is a sick ride, however, you are correct that one would be just as happy on an older model! There ain’t too much that was changed on the bike neither. Ride safe bro!

I am looking at the speedometer and it displays 139 at the 3:27 mark in the video. Apparently it is displaying KM instead of MPH. 139 KM would be 86 MPH.

This is kmph no doubt.

[@larryj8924]

The 2024 HD's are governed down limiting top speed. Reviewers noted different results, but haven't seen any above 112 MPH. One owner noted Dlr re flashed his computer and top speed was reduced even lower. Lot's of power, but if you want higher top speed, seek out after market tuners when available.

[@darylweber8514]

I've ridden one and it's very nice but It's for a certain type of rider. It's a shame the motor company is trying to wring this much out of our wallets to get this level of bike. With taxes, this is over $72,000 dollars. You gonna pay cash or throw some financing charges on top of that? It's the bike that all Harleys truly should be for the price they've been charging us for the last decade. They should've given us these 7 years ago and for 7 years ago prices, including the "upgraded" paint. So who is this for? Don't worry, if someone you meet has one, they be sure to tell ya. That person. Let's face it these are toys for us and if you have that kind of money to spend on your toys then it just might be for you, but trust me you can get 98% of this bike for 50% of the price if you're smart about it. Btw I ride a '22 Ultra Limited with Stage 2--I'm not afraid to spend on a bike but this won't be the bike that makes me trade mine in. Let's see what they trickle down to the regular lineup in the next few years.

[@therink123]

I also feel that something like this should have been available to us from HDMC years ago. Regrettably, I also understand that they are in it for the money, just like any other company. I imagine they have shifted their target customers somewhat over the years, and as long as customers are willing to pay for their product, the couldn't care less about anything else. Not that I agree with that method of doing business, but certainly seems like it's the way they going about it. Also feel the same way as about being able to et 9x% of the bike, or the "pleasure" of riding a bike like this, for a lot less than these latest CVOs. Going to something from their 90s lineup will wield a lot of the something for a lot less money, and that bike would probably be optioned out. The only difference is that it isn't going to be a new bike. To some, that matters, to the rest, it's the wiser choice. Definitely interested to see what they let trickle down to the other models.
