Love everything about the new cvo’s………except the BAGS! the bags are hideous to me !

[@lamarrharris3539]

CEO HARLEY is smart as you can see they turned the bike down in power the only way you will get the bike to take off and roll to its Potential is to buy more parts and Performance upgrades for the engine to open the bike up correctly…

[@slowsmoothfast]

All that power is nice if you’re always riding in those RPMs or on the drag strip. I personally only care to maximize the 2500-5000 rpm range.

[@officialmac]

That’s the rpm’s I care about as well

[@richardrussell500]

The question is reliability and whether they solved the overheating problem or not... nice to see HD making positive changes. With that said, the price is too steep for my liking. My two cents :-)

[@officialmac]

All the M8s I’ve seen have been very reliable after they upgraded the oil pump back in 2021

[@richardrussell500]

My 2020 trike 114 sumped at 8500 miles and destroyed the engine... :-(

[@danielmains4914]

I’ve got a 2021 Road Glide Limited. So liquid cool. I’ve put a 128 S&S on it with a zippers cam. Haven’t done anything to help the engine cooling other than the factory coolant and fans. No issues. I had a high speed stage 4 103 twin cam with a S&S 585 cam and that thing ran hot all the time.

[@Ridingfish]

I'm loving the videos dropping on the new CVO.. REAL QUESTION.. Why are all the charts not crossing at 5252??. The equation of tq over time to make HP number crosses at 5252?.

[@officialmac]

He explains in the video that it’s based on the gear that the bike is in when he makes the pull. If 6th gear won’t allow 5000 rpm then you won’t get a consistent number

[@Ridingfish]

@officialmac yea I understand that it is hitting the speed limiter.. but the lines should of never came together!! Ummm 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️. But in gears that go 5252 the lines cross at that point.. im sure I'm missing something

[@officialmac]

@Ridingfish I'm trying to understand your question but the lines will always cross from torque to horsepower. one is usually gonna be higher than the other at the peak. If I'm understanding you correctly. But what I think everyone is missing is when this bike is able to be tuned as a stage 1 bike it's gonna be 130hp bike.

[@russellabernathy3241]

Why compare a Polaris against beautiful. Polaris motorcycles are so ugly

[@PotatoeJoe69]

​​​​@@russellabernathy3241The Challenger is an acquired taste; but why compare such a superior Challenger to a bike made by a former bowling company? The Indian Roadmaster and Chieftain bikes are 10x better looking than any Glide ever will be. You wanna throw shade.... Harley hasn't been Harley since 1968. Today, Harley is owned by a ton of random big corporations that have nothing to do with motorcycles. Even Harleys CEO is a German guy who has 0 experience in motorcycles or automotive. Take a look at his portfolio; he floats around from big company to big company, collects a paycheck, and then dips. Curious what he did before he somehow become CEO of Harley? He was the CEO of a shoe company. Let's not so quickly forget how Harley decided to put their name on a Bid Light can after the recent 🌈 situation.

Great video! Happy to see this color and happy to see a fresh perspective other than just rattling off the new features of the bike!

Great job on this video. Every new Harley engine reveals a shortcoming or issue. (EG. oil sumping in 17 that resulted in oil pump/cam plate changes) It will be interesting to see what quirks show up with the new engine.

[@welcome2dipsworld]

100% true 88s it was cam chain tensioners 96s it was compensators 107s it was oil pumps and sumping
