My 18 BMW K1600 B has the hill hold feature and many more than found on a CVO. For close to half the money.
Was really hoping Harley would bring out a competitive touring machine. New paint options is not what drives me anymore. I like to actually ride.
Still love Harleys, have purchased 12 new ones including CVO. Hopefully they will offer a compelling model soon??

I sold my '12 CVO Ultra early summer and bought a K1600(GA) bagger as well, mainly because after 40 plus years of riding Harley's and a bad back, I needed something with a little more suspension. I had installed Ohlins front and back, but with only 3" or rear travel on these kommiefornia roads it wasn't enough.
Never thought I would like shift pro, reverse, hill hold, adaptive headlight, nor though I would care for suspension on the fly (dampening settings for 1up, 2up, & luggage), but it kind of spoils you. Still if Harley were to come out with a better suspension like Indian or BMW (Both have 4.5" rear travel), I would love to be on a Harley touring bike again. I think the CVO's have gotten too pricey vs the non CVO touring bikes, for what you're getting. I would love an Ultra limited in scorched orange, or zephyr blue with blacked out scheme.
Maybe next year when the Pan American is released, it for sure will have the travel suspension. Looks, ..... well, we'll have to see!
The Hill Hold works if you're going up or down steep hills, like I encounter in S.F.
