I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on a '19 Mako Blue Road Glide CVO. I'm being offered a much better deal than other dealers offered me on a Scorched Orange Limited, pretty close to the same money. Also, I've looked at two used CVOs and they were actually worse deals. I love the color and I've wanted one since I came around to the Harley touring bikes three years ago. My question, has anyone been totally dissatisfied with their purchase of a CVO? Did anyone regret it?
I just bought a 2019 CVO Road Glide, the two-tone silver one. I came from a 2015 Road Glide Special that I added boom 2 stereo, lowers with speakers and a chopped tour pack. Also had George Bryce at Star Racing take the 103 engine to his 107 kit, taking it from 76 to 130 hp. So it wasn't your average Road Glide Spaeial.
I now have ~ 380 miles on the new CVO. My impressions so far:
This new bike has much better handling than my 2015, which I had added a 21" front wheel to, and then lowered the forks to bring it back to "level". The old bike still didn't handle the way I wanted, but the new CVO drops into a corner like butter. Hp/tq are a little bit higher in the rev-range than the 2-valve motors but for a stock bike, it pulls and accelerates well. The infotainment system is beyond impressive, and I'm really happy I got it. But because your question is so subjective, your mileage will certainly vary.
I have also added the CVO chopped tour pack and will ultimately have some engine work one day to take it to the power-levels I came from, or higher. But so far, I'm glad I got the new CVO Road Glide, but at the end of the day, you'll be the one stroking the check for the monthly payments so only you can decide what path is right for you. Good luck with whatever you decide!
