2018 CVO Roadglide "UGLY"
« on: August 25, 2017, 06:17:29 PM »

I do not know how designs harley CVO dressers,but they should be fired.the  2018 CVO roadglide looks like something that should be on a Victory Showroom floor.they put a 21 inch wheel on the front,didn"t anybody tell them the "BIG FRONT WHEEL"fad is over.the paint colors and are hideous.no front lowers or cooled heads on the roadglide to make it look cooler?and to add insult to injury raise the price almost 4K before tax?so now in my state the bike will be almost $44 thousand dollars.who do they expect to sell them to,Milenials?not a shot,they will not pay $44k nor can they afford to pay that much.their market is older white men like me and sorry to say they like shiney paint and flash for that kind of money.if you parked that $44k bike in a row of Harleys you would walk right by it and not notice it.i wanted a CVO roadglide custom because I had a awesome 2009 CVO roadglide custom and a 2012 Cvo roadglide custom.looks like I will be keeping my bike for now.

I'm a millennial and I can afford it.  Still wouldn't touch it, definitely ugly.  You're spot on though, for the price, most millennials can't afford it and those that can afford it will just pay $50k and get a full custom, big wheel, air ride, super stretched bags.

Looks like I'll be keeping my 2010 and upgrade some components. No need to spend that much money for two wheels. Unreliable on top.

Good point. Price is within reach of a nice custom.

Good point. The new 18 Yamaha Venture is a much better buy.

I agree if what Yamaha just put out is of what to come from Japan, HD has a lot to overcome. I have owned HD for decades, can't justify to spend my hard earned money on dinosaur technology.

They can't get a Grey 18 to me fast enough. I'll find out tomorrow how long I'll be waiting. As I said elsewhere on the site I'm the minority around here as I like all of the RG colors this year. I'm elated that they don't come with those goofy lowers or liquid assist anything. Perfect bike for me. I can't wait to start building a new hot rod using an 18 CVO. 21" big wheel, LMAO, baby wheel.....

  :2vrolijk_21: Agreed. While the price is steep it is less than what the hot rod crowd dumps into a bike. If my dealer can't get me one in a reasonable amount of time I'll be searching for one of these ugly bikes anywhere I can score one, road trip.....

Grey is the first one my local dealer will get.  Should be the end of this month. 

I am first in line for a SERG at the dealer.  I will see what I think of it in person, in the sun.  If it doesn't do it for me, it will be the dark earth and vivid black

Currently , I have a 2016 CVO Street Glide, but am looking to move into a 2018 CVO Road Glide. I went over to a dealership yesterday to inquire about one and the first thing the dealer said is that he already had 5 people lined up to buy one and tried to sell me a regular Road Glide and that he probably couldn't get a CVO for me , then in the next breathe told me that no one had even put down a deposit yet. I think some of these dealers are still living in 2003, and think we need them more than they need customers. They need to open up a Wall Street Journal and see that the MoCo is losing market share and stock valuation. I figure that customers willing to spend over 40 grand on a bike aren't walking through the door everyday. So after that 5 minute encounter I'm ready to say f$%* em and just keep what I have for as long as I can.

I agree. That is a very small market. I'm sure area will make a difference also.
