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 !

[@dennisstudenroth8991]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@2Acharmcity_Gamer]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@philipthornburgh5276]

Thanks Jess for a test drive on the new bike I enjoyed riding with you through the Wisconsin back roads I love being little mouse on your bike and you don't know it

[@brucegerken1063]

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

[@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.

[@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.. .

[@chumps7974]

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

[@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.

[@maraudermitchelli]

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

[@wskeyson3382]

That CVO makes me appreciate my 2020 Tri Glide even more. Ride safe my friend.

[@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA]

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

[@gasmann6746]

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

[@HerTwoWheels]

Couldn't agree more!

[@debrameder3701]

Great review. Thank you. 🎥🏍️

[@charleschilders1467]

I just love your channel

[@bigjames8579]

Lucky girl! Having fun, Jess.

[@garymfra3962]

Great info thanks

[@bradleyyounger8499]

The only cvo i ever wanted is the road glide in 2009 i think it was. My friend owned a dealership in Clearwater and i fell in love with it

[@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

[@HeathenMotoLife]

I certainly appreciate the lack of info dump on the bike and love that you just give your personal opinion.

[@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".

[@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!

[@lsalahi]

Thanks so much for all your videos! They are so fun to watch, and I admire you a lot.

[@jodyhakamaki5602]

You said you were not going to do a review on this bike but that's exactly what you did... Excellent review...... Thank you for that review....

[@pokitty100]

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

[@JDandtheQueens3]

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

[@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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@Ken-wu6hr]

I’m not much into new bikes. I can’t afford a new bike. I really like the style & looks of my 08 Electra Glide Classic. But I really enjoyed see the roads of my home state

[@joshvercruyssen9837]

Great comments on these bikes. I truly believe they are game changing for the motor company, it was awesome to say a quick hello to you and Jordan at the museum. Love what you do for the community. As I was walking down the road, got a glimpse at AppaGlide and the sporty.

[@baggerbuley]

I enjoy your “rider feel” reviews! Great video! 🤙🏼

[@HerTwoWheels]

Glad you like them!

[@jimlebiedz5723]

Sorry I missed seeing you there! I was there all weekend and test road that bike as well.

[@viperq]

I hope HD will put these features on a base model Road Glide.

[@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.

[@glennsands4675]

Great straight forward and honest review

[@paulbronnenberg2075]

Good show Jess !!! I liked that you talked about the new technological features and the fact that it takes time and miles to learn where, what, and how to use them!!! I recently bought a 2023 RG 3 ( trading in my 2018 Trike and 2020 Fatboy) and I LUV the new tech stuff....( EG the Infortainment adaption to the Apple Car play system and the sensitivity of the Traction control and braking ..... ) The ONLY disappointment which is typical HD was the stereo. But like the stock exhaust and factory engine 114 you just gotta figure on upgrades. THANKS for sharing the CVO experience ..... it is fer sure a beautfiul machine.......BTW Just watch Jordan and Midges UTube post and they are doing well !!!

[@2WheelsNcoffee]

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

[@jasonbreedlove495]

The new CVOs are nicely done. I recently swapped from a batwing over to a barely rode 2019 Roadglide Special with 3700 miles. Currently riding all around MO, NE, IA and KS getting some miles on her. I dig the roadie alot thus far after 550ish miles.

[@professor767]

Thanks for the review, Jess. Nice video, as usual.

[@RaptorPackAdventures]

Love that dash. Looks awesome and we love your reviews. Love my 2022 RG Limited

[@dextergleason9421]

Thanks for sharing. I am most interested in the VVT. I hope the drivability is much improved.

[@stuartberke5845]

Great video Jess. I want one!!! 😊

[@paullavery7273]

Great review 👍 I’m in the UK & have to wait 12 weeks for mine 😩

[@softgunruler]

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

[@TheBreenGene]

Thanks great review 😊

[@HerTwoWheels]

Thanks for watching!

[@josephmirigliano8728]

Awesome video really enjoy watching your concert ride safe and enjoy

[@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 🤔

[@lpete531]

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

[@dokkentyler8052]

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

[@joevsfood]

That bike, with THAT paint job is $50K

[@Kwhopperfan]

For a limited production motorcycle that’s a lot in one place! Wonder if they crush the demos when they are done with them to keep numbers on the level value wise..

[@madtownbadger1]

Damn, I love that Whiskey Neat color.

[@tnrodgers]

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

[@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!

[@Scott___T]

Any sort of a long press for turns; short press for changing lanes for the turn signals?

[@marcusturner5291]

Nice video keep up the good work Jess

[@ridefitnation]

I missed you in this trip. My 13 year old son rode with me from GA. Awesome video.

[@demastermynd]

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

[@BustedKnuckleMotorcycle]

Are the bars taller and more straight across on the grips.

[@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.

[@leedanielson7452]

Very nice Jess! 👍❤️🎉🎉🎉

[@360chris88]

Thanks jess i enjoyed the video

[@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.

[@m.u.7155]

1:58 the sound at the traffic light.. from which bike did it came??

[@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.

[@curtismartin4229]

I just picked one up im loving it

[@65Coronet1]

Well dang you started your over view driving through my town! I’ve driven all those roads

[@sharonhirsch1173]

Beautiful motorcycle love the color

[@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.

[@jeffhennings6579]

nice video girl ya those new CVO’s are sweet ride a 2020 ultra limited but the street glide is nice

[@Firestorm637]

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

[@tomm9493]

Very nice video. 12:22 Great goat imitation! 🤣

[@KevinBlake-q4u]

How about a cvo tri glide ultra trike? What are your thoughts on this? I love the look and feel of them and thinking of getting one.

[@timmieperry5667]

Needed some rain heart exhaust

[@Firestorm637]

Agree, most controls should be on left side not right side, throttle hand.

[@johnm6683]

The turn signal cancelling way too soon is an issue on my Sportster S so I’m wondering if it’s an issue with the latest gen software. I’ve had multiple M8 and Evo bikes and the turn signals were flawless. Big safety issue IMHO as I find myself stopped in the road waiting to turn left with no signal flashing like a sitting duck so I started having to constantly look down to see if it was still working, which is also not good. I was considering trading up from my Street Glide ST to the CVO Street Glide but the more I look, the more I feel they lost a lot of the elegance of the lines in pursuit of a more contemporary design, especially the light bars on the fairing which are unsightly. Plus the paint isn’t to my taste.

[@808maxstone]

Hi Jess. Did you ever try out sport mode? If so, how was it? Take care

[@wskeyson3382]

The turn signal issue could be okay for lane changes as prior years they weren't self cancelling on lane changes.

[@czarekp3552]

make sure you love it..... btw. does it corner?

[@MrPAULONEAL]

Have you rode the Highway King Electroglide?

[@papamcjr]

Great review on this CVO. I like the clean look of the fairing and new Info system

[@HerTwoWheels]

Thanks!

[@saddlemenusa]

The 120th was a great time- those new CVO's are way niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

[@HerTwoWheels]

V NICE!!!

[@harleyquebecenrevue3580]

I love the new design changes HD have made but most of all I appreciate the new turn signal / daytime running lights so the rider can be seen from far away. One of the most frequent motorcycle accidents is a car turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle, the driver claiming I never saw the bike coming ! This one design change should be embraced by all riders and we should find similar high visibility on all newly designed HD bikes. Its nice to see ahead of you to be safe when riding but it’s much safer if oncoming traffic clearly identify you coming towards them. Let’s all ride safe and enjoy our rides.

[@paineys3341]

Drivers will always say they didn't see the bike coming when turning left as they are normally on their phones. I have lost a few friends that way and the driver always uses that excuse and gets off for killing someone with a slap on the wrist, should be automatic jail time for causing a death by dangerous driving

[@RevJay_Rides]

I know you are a RG girl. I do like the new RG CVO. However, out of the two, the redesign on the SG CVO is INCREDIBLE. It’s such a great looking bike, I believe there will be some RG people who will convert back to the SG.

[@HerTwoWheels]

I agree!!!!

[@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

[@javonbrandon]

Is the road glide 3 trike next to ride

[@craigpiccarreto9414]

Great review. Looked like a good ride. Question that's I always like to ask. Really how was the suspension? I ride a 2010 Road Glide in NY roads comparable to Ohio and have ridden newer RG's , suspension always needed big upgrades and I did mine.

[@HerTwoWheels]

I only rode with it in one setting (didn’t play with the adjustability) but i can confidently say that the suspension felt great, but the wide seat hurt my hips after a while

[@jimigogls]

What about the variable timing ? That’s huge, how did it feel? Does it work like other bikes with it like the BMW?

[@HerTwoWheels]

I didn't focus too much on it because I honestly never noticed it. The bike just RESPONDS!

[@josephgunter2563]

Put the cruise control on..then adjust the radio volume..simple fix...just an idea..

[@HerTwoWheels]

I had to do that many times... still seems unsafe to me. I discussed it personally with the H-D Engineers after this ride.

[@francescogalizia337]

thanks from Rome (Italy)🙂

[@joeplem5329]

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

[@sandrapesnell7711]

Hey Jess what is Whiskey Throttling?

[@HerTwoWheels]

whiskey throttle refers to accidentally giving too much gas instead of smoothly accelerating

[@bikerboot888]

The only reason I like the CVOs is it gives us a peak of the future standard and special models.
