Harley-Davidson 3 New CVO Models. CVO™ Limited, CVO™ Road Glide® Ultra, CVO™ Street Glide®.

Harley-Davidson® Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO)™ presents its latest collection of three limited-production factory-custom motorcycles, each hand-crafted to push the boundaries of motorcycle luxury, performance and technology in factory motorcycles.

0-cvooverview“Each year we work to make the new CVO motorcycles even more exclusive with content not available on a regular-production Harley-Davidson, along with an extreme level of attention to detail in design and finish,” said Brian Nelson, Harley-Davidson Principal Stylist. “The goal is to create motorcycles that are visually exciting and thrilling to ride. Some CVO bikes make a wild statement, others express premium exclusivity, but they are all special motorcycles.”

For 2016, three new technical features debut on each of the 2016 CVO model motorcycles:
• A Tire Pressure Monitoring System integrated into the valve stem on each wheel functions to monitor front and rear tire pressures and to provide a warning of lower-than-optimal pressure. Tire pressure can be viewed anytime through the odometer or the info screen of the infotainment system. The warning alert is displayed as a pop-up screen on the BOOM!™ Box infotainment system.
• A new integrated key fob combines the functions of the electric luggage locking system and the proximity-activated security system, conveniently replacing two previous fobs with a single device.
• New LED front turn signals combine modern style and long bulb life with increased light intensity for enhanced conspicuity.

    Or customize yourself. But I admit it can cost you more for the same custom factory options.

    For the very well-to-do baby boomers who wants to wow his friends.

    So because it is more exclusive,the will pay more attention to fit/ finish,but if you buy a standard model they’ll just throw it together?

  4. 4 Rodent Oct 9th, 2015 at 9:33 pm

    Probably most of the commenters can’t afford the 50 large to buy a CVO.

    How can Harley do it? Selling such motorcycles for the rock bottom prices of $35,000 to $40,000? That company will go bankrupt soon if it continues to just give away their motorcycles for the measly price of a decently equipped four door car or SUV. I think someone should give the Harley execs a medal, or at least some kind of nobel peace prize for such charitable acts! I for one will never ceased to be amazed by the good folks at HD.

    From what I understand Harley’s recalled over 300,000 bikes so far this year. Now I understand some of those recalls are for minor stuff but that’s an exceedingly high number for the prices their asking.
    Maybe, just maybe it’s time for corporate to stop lining their portfolios and start looking at quality value based products to their customers.
    Nobody really has to have a harley, much less a new overpriced one, some choose to and their’s always the possibility most will choose not to.

    You are either rich or you are poor.

    If I didn’t have to pay for so many other people’s shit I’d have plenty of extra money for new bikes.

  9. 9 Roscoe Oct 10th, 2015 at 3:48 pm

    I own a 81 Tour Glide and I always thought the Road Glides were such beautiful bikes, but now I just don’t have any attraction to them like I used to. HD will need to update the styling if they want to sell me a new bike.

    Woody, I bet if they knocked your tax rate down to 10%, you would still complain about paying for other people’s stuff. What would you like to pay, how about 0% tax. Then you can go buy your Harley and drive it down the road full of pot-holes.

  11. 11 Woody Oct 10th, 2015 at 6:51 pm

    @ Mike, you would lose that bet.

    Some of the comments (above) are entertaining, some, well.., are really entertaining.

    The HD CVO is a great line and a brilliant marketing strategy. I like it.

    All I can complain about is the fact that it is now limited to Touring models – and only ones with fairings (thus not for “real” bikers). I have always hoped they would bring out a HOT ROD (CVO) WIDE GLIDE (seems less likely now).

    I have had two CVO’s (Fat Boy and a V-Rod) – sold one and (embarrassed) totaled the other. I miss both dearly.

    The “S” line is a great idea to augment the CVO – viz a ‘performance’ line. Hopefully they will bring out “S” model Dyna’s in the future. Again – I would join the call for a Hot Rod Wide Glide (for real bikers > 6′ 2″ tall).

    Perhaps even a dedicated “S” or even “R” line for a (revamped) FXR..!

    BTW – any custom under 50k is a steal.

    Sigfreed, I’ve got a 2007 CVO Dyna and love it! Had to put real shocks and brakes on it and ditch the stupid slippery metal grips and footpegs (yes I ride in the rain and to Sturgis from CA), then have Bob White pump some more hp in and then – perfection, except for the useless headlight, but that’s on the way and I guess ABS.

    Gee ? Tire pressure monitor system & integrated key fob remote?
    We’ve heard of those before on the competition, no wonder it is a customer request
    (or “keeping up with the “Jones”) Should’ve been standard equipment on ALL the upper
    strata of the Touring line, much less the CVO’s.
    Still they need to upgrade the sound system on the Ultra Limited & the Road Ultra
    75 watts per channel is a joke, when you’re spending that kind of $$$$
    Oh, wait then what would people have to BUY after spending upwards $39 – 50, 000.00 ?
    Guess they’ve got to get into you pocket(s) somehow.
    Makes that $27,000 that Indian wants for a Roadmaster (that comes with all of this stuff anyway)
    or the $22,000 they want for a Vic Cross Country Tour, not seem so bad
    In fact, leave a LOT of $$ for upgrades
