hen it comes to the big daddies in
the Harley-Davidson touring lineup
the buck stops with the CVO Street
and Road Glides.
The CVO range is the premium in the
Harley-Davidson lineup. It's the one that
commands the most from your wallet and
offers the most performance in return. That
performance doesn't necessarily mean 0-60
stopwatch times. This is the Grand Ameri

can Touring lineup, as H-D so splendidly
calls it. The CVO Street and Road Glides are
equipped with the Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121
motor that boasts eight percent more torque
and nine percent more horsepower than the
outgoing 117 cubic inch motor, a slightly
revised chassis, completely new styling
and infotainment system, and a price tag to
match at well over $40,000.
Both bikes share much of the same tech
-
nology, so it really depends on what you want
from your ride in terms of ergonomics, but
more on them later. Let's jump into what they
do have in common, starting with that motor.
The CVO Road Glide takes top billing as
Harley-Davidson's ultimate long-range tourer.
