Harley-davidson Cvo Road Glide

De CVO (Custom Vehicle Operations) Road Glide werd geïntroduceerd door Harley-Davidson als onderdeel van hun premium CVO-assortiment, dat begon in 1999, waarbij de Road Glide-variant halverwege de jaren 2000 verscheen als een eersteklas, in de fabriek aangepaste toermotorfiets. Het beschikt over exclusieve kleurstellingen, hoogwaardige audiosystemen en verbeterde componenten die niet beschikbaar zijn op standaardmodellen, waardoor het het vlaggenschip is van Harley's touring-assortiment. De CVO Road Glide valt op door zijn scherpe motorkap, RDRS (Reflex Defensive Rider Systems) en de Milwaukee-Eight 117- of 121-motor in zijn meest recente versies, waarmee zijn status als een van de meest luxueuze toermotorfietsen in productie is bevestigd.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Strong Resale Value
CVO models typically retain 70-80% of their value after 3 years, outperforming standard Harley trims. Limited annual production numbers keep demand — and prices — consistently high.
Watch the Infotainment System
The Boom! Box GTS infotainment system is known to develop touchscreen glitches and Bluetooth connectivity issues over time. Budget for potential dealer software updates or screen replacements around the 30,000-mile mark.
Milwaukee-Eight 117 Power
The CVO Road Glide comes exclusively with the Milwaukee-Eight 117 cubic inch engine, Harley's largest production V-twin. It runs cooler and smoother than older Twin Cams, but watch for primary chain tensioner wear after 50,000 miles.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"The ultimate American tourer — if your wallet can keep pace."
$26,000-$38,000 usedThe CVO Road Glide is Harley's showboat — and I mean that as both a compliment and a warning. Milwaukee throws its absolute best hardware at this thing: the 117ci Milwaukee-Eight in older examples, screaming Twin-Cooled grunt, and factory paint jobs that genuinely stop traffic. Used examples from 2019-2022 sit around $28-35k, which is serious money, but you're getting a bike that dealers couldn't keep on the floor new. Here's the honest talk: these bikes are heavy, complicated, and expensive to maintain if anything goes wrong. The Boom! GTS infotainment system is genuinely good but can develop gremlins — always check it works properly before handing over cash. Inspect the front fairing mounting points carefully; they take abuse. The Milwaukee-Eight is generally bulletproof past break-in, but check service history religiously. Buy one with documented dealer servicing and under 30,000 miles and you'll have a touring machine that embarrasses bikes costing far more. Skip the bargains with sketchy histories — CVO ownership rewards patience.
