I think you nailed this review. Have a 24 SG CVO in legendary orange, and I just rode a RG CVO ST today. I didn’t really push it too hard, but I didn’t have access to track mode (HD demo ride bike). In sport mode, it felt the same as my SG. I would much rather have all the bells and whistles and the better paint job…but that is me, and the reason why HD makes both!!!

Good review These are still going for one sticker in So. Cal and they are not sitting on the floor for very long. I did buy one and think it is amazing. I am primarily a Ducati guy but Harley hit it out of the park with this one. My favorite thing about this bike is that it is one of the extremely few CVOs where the paint job does not look like it came straight out of a rap video. This bike kind of reminds me of what could happen if during a drunken one night stand a Ducati Pikes Peak and a Road Glide decide to hook up and ended up spawning.

[@seanoleary1979]

Harley's trying to compete with Aprilia, Ducati, BMW, Yamaha, Kawasaki Honda and Suzuki with an overweight fossil of a bike with engine architecture that was outdated in the 1930s when BMW came out with silky smooth air-cooled boxer engines that lasted a lifetime!!! Even Indian laughs at them!

Their base loves the sound and feel. The raw'ness. My dad had one. Nothing else like them. On a highway trip, they're hypnotic. I'm an old guy now who's owned everything including the old large two stroke road bikes and I still appreciate Harley. But not their current direction or leadership. Yes, they've added more power to satisfy the base just like every other vehicle corp does, but it was never about competing with other bike brands. Just performing better for the brand. Sadly, their luck is running out and it's sad when icons go down due to poor leadership. The idiots just dropped their gate-way bike; the sportster.
