The top four CVO bikes of all time (and he's wrong about when CVO began being a referenced name) are (in order by production):
1) 1999 FXR2
2) 2000 FLTRSEI Triple Red Road Glide
3) 2002 FLHRSEI Candy Brandywine Road King
4) 2005 FLHTCSE2 Candy Cherry Electra Glide
This is an unbiased and well referenced / researched order of all the various models that might be considered (in perpetuity). A Moderator might as well lock this thread now since any other offering would be invalid and a waste of bandwidth.

#7 13 CVO Road King Anniversary edition. Loved the paint, and loved that it had a sound system.
#3 09 CVO Road Glide, the Silver. I agree it set the direction for future CVO baggers and baggers in general, a great paint job.
#1 18 CVO Road Glide Gunship Gray. Not sure I agree or not, its a top ten but not number 1.
I also agree with his putting the 99 FXR3 and the 00 Screaming eagle Road glide in top ten.
I thought the skunk would have made the cut.

2000 SE Roadglide
2009 CVO Roadglude
2010 CVO Streetglide
2012 CVO Streetglide
2015 CVO Streetglide
The attention to detail and paint and graphics during these years was outstanding.
Unfortunately when the CVO joined the regular production line it was relegated to just another model.

Let’s not forget the one off 2006 CVO Ultra. Last of the dependable 103 engine in an Ultra package. First of the leather “Camel Hump” tour pack. It was only produced for one year.
Was that the year with the paint problems?

I believe so. The previous owner of mine (WrongWay Dave) said warranty replaced some parts. Not sure which ones

All the painted parts with multiple colors were replaced, only the inner fairing, rear fender, lowers, and saddlebag lids stayed.
He also said the 2000-2001 was the only bike to come with a chopped tour pak, wrong, the 2005 CVOs came with them as well. And the CVO name wasn't used until 2009, wrong again, my 2005s and 2006 hall had CVO on them.

The 2004 bikes didn't get that chopped tour pak. That's (another reason) why the 2005s were better! Mostly because 2005 could be had in red. But also the tour pak.
Red 2005 SEEG. Awesome bike.

That's why I like the 06 CVO Ultra. All the dependability of the 05 with the 103 engine, in an Ultra package.

Yes an interesting look at the CVOs. The only 2 cents I have is "personally" the 2018 CVO RG is my bottom feeder because of the cheap looking paint and being blacked out. So much for 1 of a kind special paint being that there are a couple of 22 models have the same paint on a regular bikes. Also there are 3 vehicle manufactures that have the same color on newer cars. I have always thought the 2009 CVO (silver) had the best paint on the RG..The 09 Silver was great, got lots of attention with that bike. I think the 12 Skunk was even better. Could not believe the attention I got with it. Honestly the favorite bike I ever had. 18 Gunship gray got a ton of attention. I really liked it, but the 19 Red Pepper spoke to me so I traded.

So you can believe all you want. The number 1 title will always go to the 2004 SEEG Models. And that would be BOTH colors. 2005 will come in a close second!!!

You all forget history. The 2004 SEEG set the standard for CVO sales in the future. The entire allotment was sold within 1 week after the Dealer Meeting. You couldn't get one for MSRP, and if you did you were petty lucky. A lot of dealers marked them up 10k and got it.Preach Brotha.... and let the church say Amen!!! :2vrolijk_21: :huepfenlol2:

That said, as a spectator, I agree with most of this video. I like Matt's videos in general. I think there were some CVOs over the years that missed the mark, and the Deluxe with those ugly ass wheels deserves its place at number one.
Other than my lack of appreciation for the wide-big front tire, and my reinforced opinion that (quality) chrome is the appropriate finish for a vehicle exposed to any sort of miles, I agree with most of the 'winners' too.
I would add to my list the 2010 Scarlet/Grey Ultra. Best color combo for my eye. The 2009 Road Glides also earned their spot for the beautiful aesthetic, which is reinforced by my opinion of the 2022 bikes.
I do love these bikes though. Maybe I'll go watch the video again... :D

One I can't click with is the gunship gray. I even love the color gray, but something about it looks incomplete and generic. I have a 2020 Sand Dune currently, but will admit its a rather bland color for a CVO. I'm happy with the bike in general but I'd trade someone tins from a 2019 if given the opportunity :)

Not a problem since.
Post by: rayson56 on August 04, 2022, 11:52:49 AM
I love the Gunship Gray and thought the same about the monochromatic/generic look of these bikes. After some thought, my personal opinion would be swapping out the Gray wheels to the black that is on the Black Earth and Vivid Black. I think that would make a world of difference. :nixweiss:

The gray wheels are definitely a little much with an already gray bike. Black wheels to contrast would look better in my opinion.

I have one of the worst, 2014 FLSTNSE in crimson red. Love it! I am sure the dealer was jumping up and down when I said I wanted to buy it last year with 1,712 miles on it. But, that is how it is, finally able to afford a CVO that fit me. I agree, the wheels are awful, but I can't see them when riding. AngeloThere are no bad CVOs, IMO.

I agree with your comments, except I would put the '05 SEEG ahead due to them having a tour pack and the '04's did not. Both years are still the hottest looking CVO paint schemes IMHO.
My dealer was so certain I would buy an '05 after seeing the 2-tone teal at the dealer show, the first thing he claims he did when returning to his office was to fill out my bill of sale (including my signature) :o then phoning me to drop off a minor deposit. ;D I of course didn't mind at all because it was my first CVO and I loved riding it for 10 years, even though I added an '08 Duracell along the way and ended up keeping the '08.
