There's no motorcycle in the world worth fifty thousand dollars

[@charleschilders1467]

I just love your channel

[@360chris88]

Thanks jess i enjoyed the video

[@garypoborsky7073]

i was in the car bus

[@harleyquebecenrevue3580]

Here is something to take into consideration about the CVO. If you buy a street Glide Special, no matter how much money you spend on it to customize it to your liking, when you resell it, you still only get the value of a stock Street Glide Special. All those accessories have no value. You buy a CVO, it’s all ready loaded in custom accessories to the gills. When you resell it, you get the high resale value of a CVO. So if you plan to buy a SG and have no plans to customize it, or very little, then your good, otherwise, buy the CVO and enjoy it and chances are you will never get tired of it. Food for thought !

[@randymiller5008]

Not worth the price tag. Seriously 😒

[@TstreetVB]

You get the opportunity to ride a groundbreaking, history-making model, of an iconic American manufacturing company's flagship vehicle. And, you choose to talk about turn signal timing and radio volume controls SMH. What a fraud!

[@HerTwoWheels]

If that’s all you picked up on in a 16 minute video then there’s nothing more I can do for you here.

[@roymctarsney5655]

I understand the concept of the CVO line, however, H-D is leaving the back bone of it’s consumer base to seduce a completely different demographic. The consumer base that is being priced out is the group that supported Harley when they had their problematic times over the years. How about designing and building a reasonably priced motorcycle that is dependable, reliable, fun to ride and affordable to maintain for EVERYONE. Not just for an elite class of wanabies? Just a thought.

[@TripleCCC44]

I have mine on order. It will be my first CVO! So excited. Thank you for posting your video. I was the guy that would get the specials and do them the way I like it. But eventually I noticed I would pretty much turn it into a CVO without the paint. With a added flavor. So I am deciding just to go CVO now and this new bike has me sold. I love tech and the redesign. Harley knocked it out of the park!

[@CraigSmith568]

Good looking bike, but I would never pay that much for it. The standard model has more stuff than I want. I don't even listen to music when I ride. I do like that they put the gauges where they did, but I prefer analog gauges myself.

[@richardmourdock2719]

Fair review and comments. Can't imagine spending 50K for a motorcycle, but I do like the looks of that one.

[@HerTwoWheels]

Catch the very end of the video 😉 i’m biding my time.

[@thomasbartlett3409]

A person could invest in a 24 gauge mechanical double lok standing seam roof installed on a 4000 sq ft roof for less than what that bike costs that will increase the homes value from 1% to 6% or more. Use your head.. .

[@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA]

would like to see it in person i'll never spend that on one bike tho lol rather have 3 different kinds 🎉

[@davekelly7539]

I'm not a fan of how newer vehicles are all software based. Not just bikes but cars and semis. I've been an OTR truck driver for the last 13 years and if there's one thing I am confident of, computers fail. Last month I had hell trying to get my factory HID headlights to work. Used to be I could swap out a bulb or a fuse and get down the road. Wasn't the bulb, wasn't the ballast. There is no fuse, it runs through a node controller on Kenworths that are a pain in the a** to replace, let alone source. Expensive too. I just prefer things I can fix without needing dealer-proprietary software.

[@ricklustig6613]

Your reviews are far more informative than all the spec videos I see from others. How it rides for comfort, handling and over all feel, is what I like to hear. Love what you do, truly enjoy Jordans" channel as well, hope to run into you on the road sometime! Cheers from an old biker from the great white north!

[@dokkentyler8052]

It's an awesome bike,...the price though. $40,000 plus...WOW

[@joevsfood]

That bike, with THAT paint job is $50K

[@Thenvisibleman]

Ugh missed you at the harley fest i heard blockhead and justin were there too but the livewire is awesome but still a concept only not practical and the 23 cvo is incredible but for 50,000 hard pass, it is a bike for the elite only

[@howardparker9431]

I had a 2012 CVO and they are for anyone who can afford one and wants a bike at the top of the line. We loved ours. Took it on a cruise and road on a few islands. The thing is, you will get more back if you sell or trade than if you customized a standard bike because you only get what the standard bike is worth. All the extras does not raise the value. Where as a CVO will retain it’s value. If you take a standard bike and customize it and do the engine upgrades you are going to be spending pretty much for what a CVO costs but the CVO will bring more on a trade or sell. You just might not notice it as you gradually customize your bike. Love the CVOs.

[@joeplem5329]

It's definitely a stunning bike in person but she pricey 🤑

[@saviodunkin]

You had a great point. Harley CVO's are not for everybody. Certainly a very small margin of Harley riders go for them versus customizing their own. I also agree with you on the fact the all the features/technology/design will trickle down to future models. Thanks for the great info/review. Cheers from Maine.

[@jamescunningham2637]

I enjoyed your video! I seen that option paint scheme add 6k to the msrp, it does pop in the sun. A sharp bike! Carries a heavy price tag. My 2018 ultra limited annaversary CVO seems old now. Although it's msrp was 43k.

[@robertd2363]

I just love the colour 🎉 but I couldn't think about spending 50k the wife would leave me!

[@chumps7974]

I'm a CVO customer. I can't wait to see what other colors they release

[@adriantorres3221]

43 grand!!! Jesus thats a down payment on a house. Ide never oay thq ror a bike. you’re going to be rich to be a little for the period. It’s crazy how much they charge for them and still they’re not up to snuff when it comes to motorcycles the Japanese cruisers just bury them though they’re not as cool but trying for cycles are amazing. No power at Canal everything Harley and cost a lot less. no offense to HD lovers out there but that’s not. Did you get to get Japanese cruisers brand new for that or a Japanese cruiser and a trailer for that hell you can go get a lot of things for that.

[@lpete531]

At the CVO price point it should have heated seats. But it is a beautiful bike 👍🏽

[@2WheelsNcoffee]

I've always thought of the CVO as a Luxury Bike, rather than a touring or performance one.

[@bdhouse6153]

why the hell did HD not make a bike compatible with AA - Android Auto?? Everybody doesn't have an Apple iPhone and maybe never will................guess the aftermarket wil have to develop something later. So disappointed !!

[@kennv7566]

The new 2023 CVO has the new and advanced technology making older CVO models obsolete.

[@HerTwoWheels]

Exactly!! The tech was truly the star here. Can’t wait to see where it goes 🤔

[@granddad-mv5ef]

This is the model in which I have an interest and am very happy to have your observations and opinion. As to the price: sure I could spend $54,000 on a 2023 Kia. Think the CVO seems like a much better deal.

[@Kwhopperfan]

A fully optioned Telluride, or Stinger would be money well spent.. 10 year 100k warranty..

[@granddad-mv5ef]

@@Kwhopperfan I am the opposite of a Kia fan and was using this example as a contrast. I should have realized there would be a Kia salesman notified of my comment.

[@Kwhopperfan]

@@granddad-mv5ef too funny! Yeah I didn’t see the contrast at all. I thought it was an opportunity to show how much bang for your buck with a fully loaded reliable luxury auto vs a living room ornament, but hey, maybe I should contact Kia for my compensation package.

[@granddad-mv5ef]

@@Kwhopperfan I have been at least a fairly serious rider for about 56 years. At no point have a I owned a motorcycle that was "an ornament". Although I once owned a Triumph Daytona (it was old and chopped) that was pretty unreliable, it didn't last long.

[@Kwhopperfan]

@@granddad-mv5ef hey that’s great to hear! I hate seeing these bikes 10 years old with five thousand or less miles on them. I prefer the touring line myself, but am partial to the Goldwings. If someone gave me a Road Glide Limited CVO, I wouldn’t turn it down. These new CVO’s are a great step in the right direction, except the bags look smaller and the suspension travel is still too short but I’m sure it’s a nice machine as it should be at that price point. Maybe I’ll pick up a low mileage CVO trade in by next season when the current owners upgrades

[@darkiee69]

A bike for lawyers and dentists who like to LARP Sons of anarchy on the weekends.

[@kenc165]

Ha, sooo true and they snub their noses at us regular working stiffs that ride a 10 year old Harley. Posers!

[@myronmosley2167]

It’s $42,999. While that is a bit steep, let’s be real. Most of the Harley nerds out there will end up spending that much on aftermarket parts to make it look like everybody else’s “custom” Harley on the road anyway. So in that aspect why not just go ahead and buy the version that is verifiably better? But remember kids, they had to restrict the Power Plus 108 in the Challenger so this 121 Road Glide would stop getting destroyed on the track. So if you want this kind of power, handling, and features but don’t want to empty the bank to get it. Go pick up a challenger darkhorse. Save yourself 20 thousand dollars and get something that offers essentially the same thing as this 42 thousand dollar whale shark.

[@XenaTheQuadCamBikah]

I think this model looks ugly but one thing that really bothers me and I’m sure a lot of other people too is, all models should have great brakes. I mean we are on two wheels so being able to stop quickly and efficiently should be a given on every single motorcycle not only the ones that cost big money.

[@curtismartin4229]

Or us club guys who dedicate our life to motorcycles

[@maartenkok345]

I disagree. I ride a BMW K1600B, all year round. And up to now, the RG’s were just too far behind, for me, to consider switching. With this new model and all the improvements, I’m going to go for it. Expensive or not, life’s too short, just enjoy it as much as you can 👌😎

[@woadshaman]

I made fun of the pan am faring when it came out too and now I have one and I’m proud AF to ride that thing.

[@maraudermitchelli]

Miss you did a realistic review of this bike thank you.

[@antoniocampos6627]

Biggest thing to mention about this platform is if it will trickle down to the other models next year or if it will arrive in later years.

[@HerTwoWheels]

YES!! Exactly!!

[@davidj.leavitt249]

Yup, I love that color scheme too. Copper pearl and black, just like the 2008 105th Anniversary bikes. Thanks for the great video.

[@c.f.1133]

I still don't see the value to justify the MSRP. $30k seems perfect but once you punch up another $10k, you're crossing into "ridiculous".

[@joevsfood]

It reminds me of when Chevy got rid of the iconic tail lights on the corvette. No thanks. And $50K for a bike that is supposed to have the entire parts catalog thrown on it to not have heated seats is nuts.

[@andregrastyan3403]

Why is Harley still making these heavy behemoths and outdated dinosaur looking motorbikes. Japanese bikes can produce so much power and superior technology with half the size engines and a lot more power. These bikes are too outdated now. Wake up, Harley.

[@JDandtheQueens3]

That's a killer bike! I could never justify it but it's still amazing!

[@brandontapia4155]

At least rich and well off people can afford this bike especially with high mark up my dealer which I can’t mention with mark it up by 15k and their pre orders are sold out

[@2Acharmcity_Gamer]

Thank you I appreciate your view and thoughts on the bike without a spec run down

[@gtnoslp]

That is weird to have the radio/volume control on the same side as the throttle?! For the cost it should also include the HD 131c.i. instead of the HD 121c.i. More bang for the buck!...Great Vlog!

[@brucegerken1063]

Great video thank you very well done thanks for taking us along.

[@gasmann6746]

They are certainly stunning looking bikes, very lucky to get an early ride on one. Thank you..👍🏻🇦🇺

[@jamesfisher1827]

As you stated it isn’t for everyone, but it’s nice HD makes it. You could say the same general thing about HD it’s great they exist, but they’re not for everyone. Motorcyclists tend to be individuals and it’s great that there are a lot of different bike brand and models to fit everyone’s needs and budgets.

[@marcelhache2073]

Kinda looks like a challenger..

looks like you had a great time riding that CVO...What did you do in the car business I spent my career of 39 years selling cars.....

[@tnrodgers]

Yeah CVOs are the best features the most money can buy. The secondary market keeps their values higher accordingly. Safe riding!

[@pokitty100]

Excellent video I an impressed with your ability to ride and how enthusiastic you are about motorcycles. Love those CVO's

[@roadglide1142]

First HD should have introduced the new technology on the regular touring models ie lower prices for us working people! 2nd. I’m not paying $53K for new technology that is bound to have quirks ! I mean how many oil pump updates were there for the Milwaukee 8 before they got it right? Lol . 3rd I just bought a brand new Camaro LT-1 with the corvette engine for $49K out the door with taxes ,fees , etc! That’s where my fun money went this year! My 2022 Limited stage 2 serves me just fine ! No thanks !

[@chrischerilla6494]

Been riding Harleys for 43 years but the company has priced me out of buying new bikes. I'll stay with my 09 street glide and my 80 FLH shovelhead I've had for 35 years.

[@John-yf4ie]

Have you ever thought about or even rode a Newer Model Tri Glide? For the last 20 years I always had 2 wheel Harleys from the 883 to Electrs glide to Road King then I turned 72 I required a Triple Bypass!! My doctors advised me to trade up to A Tri Glide Ultra. I surley miss the big harley but at least I can still ride. I'm in great shape now at 73 and the same doctors said I can now ride the big 2 wheels again, but my wife now really enjoys riding along in the queen seat listening to all our Metallica Music! What do you think about this? Yanni

[@1Thirty1]

You!… Are Adorable ‼‼

[@checkers7730]

Had a experience going to a Harley dealership specifically looking at a used 2022 bike with under 1000 miles. The double team sales guys were more into selling me a new bike rather than the used, said it would be cheaper. Doesn’t make sense to me. They did some terrible math starting with a $22k for a used $17.5k bike. Two months later they advertise a price for the used bike instead of the ‘call for quote’ game. It’s up for $15.4K. Might have bought that bike if they had been talking around that price. Only reason I’ll go into a Harley dealership is to low ball and kick tires.

[@okiemoto6114]

I recently rode in Ohio for the first time in my life. We visited cousins in Westerville, and toured a submarine in Cleveland. We rode through Indiana into Ohio. I thought of you. Beautiful state!! I’m impressed. I grew up in Wisconsin and live in Oklahoma. We were in Milwaukee in June, really busy city. I’d love to have a new CVO but they are too pricey for my budget. Great video!

[@guilhermefraga4349]

I thought that was cool that Harley let everyone in the rally test ride the CVO for a few miles including on the highway…That was cool! Harley made everyone fell like youtubers without the work😂… I loved the CVO… but we were able to test any model on the line up… that was cool…

[@HerTwoWheels]

Exactly! They are proud of their product and want everyone to experience it!! We just had a bit more time with it so we can create content to share with others who are unable to ride it themselves!

[@fourftr]

I was out at the Homecoming Festival. Drove from NH. Glad we took the 2.5 hr ferry ride. Talking about thousands of motorcycles. Pa, Ohio, Michigan, WI all had one thing in common roads were not smooth

50K with no heated seats, android auto or reverse gear...Really?? Honda Goldwing has all the CVO plus more for about 30K

[@Firestorm637]

Great looking bike. Harley does not change their bikes and people buy used which does not help the motor company. Offering more horsepower, electronics, etc., reasons to buy vs just fancy paint jobs every year. Porsche offers just 20 more horsepower every year. Could they had 50 sure, but why.

[@softgunruler]

That new Street Glide front fairing with the new lights is pretty sexy, not gonna lie

[@marcusturner5291]

Nice video keep up the good work Jess

[@super1234567891011]

If you are worried about price, Harley didn’t build this for you. This bike if for people who have enough wealth that they don’t even look at the price. I explain this to people who also say the Porsche 911 is too expensive.

[@DJGENOTYPE]

Would rather have the Challenger or Pursuit. Indian has the far better engine, suspension, tech and you will end up paying 15K less. On the Indian, you can just type your weight in on the Ride Command screen and the suspension will adjust.

[@Firestorm637]

Hopefully RDRS is standard. Stability control and IMu really help safety

[@Henry.58]

I guess I'm just old, Because I still have Evo's and V-Twins , And I'm saving my dimes for a Panhead. I love the Paint , Harley is second to none when it comes to their painting skills and products.

[@HangTimeSolutions]

You don't wear full face helmets so if you want a better looking tour pack that open sideways Get the color matched cut tour pack better look and lines and open sideways. Also after you change exhaust and intake get a Lloyd's tune. Get better gas mileage at low RPMs and better performance at high RPMs. This also supposed to to remove some throttle lag.

[@dennisstudenroth8991]

Thanks, I have a 2021 CVO Street Glide 117, sound so good when you wind that 121 up, wow ! 😊

[@Wildturkey10121]

I just got home from my Milwaukee trip this morning. I had too much to do while I was up there so I stayed for about 2 weeks, never saw you there though haha. I won't demo or test ride a new bike because I can't afford one. I know I would want one so I could park my baby girl and just use it for in town. I'll continue to beat myself to death on my 04 Road King. How did you like the roads in Milwaukee? I thought my bike was going to fall apart.

[@duciduc08]

Great video Jess! I usualy like your videos, as i do on this one. But i could not notice the difference bitwin the title of the video and the conclusion about the cvo is not the type of bike for you. Excuse my lousy grammar, i am watching from italy. Keep up the good rides.

[@Firestorm637]

Too expensive is the only problem especially after covid era gouging now people asking, where is my discount. Inflation and high interest rates means money is tight.

[@JA-zh5xi]

Saw the new street glide CVO and it’s just as ugly in person as it is in videos. Ugly Indian fairing and horrible hard lines on the tank and bags. Even the salesman said it looked like an old ugly victory motorcycle.

[@johnclark812]

They are for sure a niche bike, but many are when you think of it. A way off topic question, what model/year is your Shoei helmet, I love the color and would think of getting one myself. As always, ride safe.

[@randybarrett6677]

I don’t like the look of the new bike for Harley Davidson. It is a nice bike and has some nice features, but it looks too much like a Indian. A major company as old as Harley should not try to look like their competitors, they work with their own look and actually be competition. Trying to look like your competitor is a way of giving up on being yourself. Some improvement and some giving in is not being competitive or standing up for your clientele, which is something too many companies are doing today.
