We waited 4 months after every other manufacturer released their bikes for this?  Yawn.  On the CVOs, apparently the new theme is “less is more.”

21" wheel. Some people were not crazy about the heavy 21" wheel on previous years. At least that's my guess.

The front wheel is still a 21".  I do not think the 21 front wheel was heavy on the 18, and its not on the 19.  Lots do not like it rides a little harsher do to less side wall.

Me, I like it on the 18 through 20 bikes.  Not a fan of the look on the 21 bike.  Also looks like a small pothole and that new rim is shot.

Web site shows regular bags on the black hole CVO RG and stretched on the other two.  Press release say stretched bags are gone on road glide. 

I do like the Orange / black CVO RG. 

Want to hear the Rockford fosgate sound system

 You can not ride fancy paint.

I dunno....  Some women I've dated were way better with makeup than without.  Just sayin'.

I'm really almost disappointed in two things this model year with Harley

1. There is no CVO Road King

2. The only other Road King I like is the Special and after 2020 when they put a cool paint scheme on it (the Blue Black) I really expected HD to do something cool again and we got a Black bike, a pale cow pile green bike and a color last seen on a Mustang from 17 years ago. The Snake Venom might look better in person I know, but I can't ever see me liking it enough to buy one.

To my eye there is only one of the Specials that I like enough to even look twice at and that is the Red/Black Road Glide with a black motor. It actually looks good to me and maybe the two tone Street Glide Special in Grey/Black. Those two bike look more like what a CVO should look like to me Minus the $14000 up charge

As is just about always the case with Mother Harley for years now; I don't get it.  Really glad I like my old bikes.

Another year my savings are safe .................
RG Ultra in CVO, must be a "don't want to step on the now very long production Ultra CVO".

Seems to be a bit more interest in the 2021 CVOs than there was last year.  Negative opinions are about 100 to 1 around and about on the internet.  Those opinions are multi nationalities and each year the comments get worse.  After watching the Yawn Team that "starred" in the video yesterday, am not surprised.

I actually like the CVO RG color options this year, Last year people had 1 option... I’m still not getting rid of my 19 mako shark.. I will hold more judgment on the wheels till I see them in person..

Other than the potential benefit of R-F stereo, not much worth considering.  Downside is amp goes in saddlebag.

I'd rate the CVO color selection with a D.

The standard touring bike colors at least offer a little variety, but still less than prior years.

Sad to see the decline in something I used to get so excited about.

I remember the excitement of going to Rapid City to the unveiling of the new offerings. Hundreds of people all excited to see the new bikes, colors and swag. Alas those days are gone. HD is not what it used to be. Sad.

I’m disappointed with what CVOs have become. I had a 2015 FLHXSE in ultraviolet and hot molten lava, loved the look of that bike, but, it could not be trusted to go on road trips. I remember falling in I love with the 2009 Roadglide CVOs, but, I’m happy with my 19 Road Glide Special, doubt I’ll ever buy another CVO, they just aren’t as different as they used to be and the paint schemes just don’t do it for me now.

Yes..this one..love the bike...don't ride it as much as I used to since I got the 2020 Road Glide limited.

Saw two of the CVO Road Glides yesterday, the Black Hole looked very good, and graphics fit the bike well.  Non stretch bags work with the graphics.   I'm just not a black bike guy.  It sold.

Saw the Sunset Orange and Sunset Black Fade in the sun.  Wow, looks great but more red than orange.  The black has red flake in it and looks very good.  Even the orange rocker box band has flake in it.  Spoke rims look better in person.  This one also sold.

This Sunset color will sell very well on the bikes it is on.

So probably Not "Orange enough" for a traditional Orange/Black bike owner like me?

My guess would be no.  Looks more red most the time to me.  Certain angles it looks orangish.
