Also, the pictures of the new bikes will not look anywhere near as good as the 2022 bikes when you see them in person.
The new CVO colors will be judged the most harshly, because everyone knows that their pre-2022 CVO is the best color combo Harley ever made & the new ones blow chunks. ;D

^What Mike said.I have not REALLY liked any colors since the '12 FLHXSE3 in Ruby/Typhoon. Traded it because of ongoing reliability issues due to dealer fingers.....I didn't buy it to just look pretty.....I bought it to ride!

Some of the older CVO paint sets were better. Unique. The last few years have not noticed anything that looked as special. Some of the newer CVO paint is not unique, it looks like HD cheaped out. But the price on the bikes didn't follow suit. After the last few years would not take a lot for the 2022 CVO paint to be considered a huge improvement. Would not bet a nickel on that happening.

In the past years someone usually starts a thread talking about rumors or wishes and hopes for the new model year. With the announcements coming out soon, January 26th, I thought I would ask what has been heard. I have a deposit at my dealer for a CVO RG, hoping that they come out with one and secondly that I like the colors and schemes. Thoughts on what may happen??

They only have a chart for the models that will be consistent from one year to the next (in this case, where 2022 models will be consistent with 2021 offerings). For new models, the factory sends them a set number in the colors that the factory chooses for the first ordering period. The dealer has little or no say in these units until they place an order after the dealer show.
Yes, they have been given a list of models that are no longer going to be offered well in advance. I don't know them off the top of my head, but I think there are about 3.

I used to think so also...then it grew on me...then I rode one and was hooked. It eats up the miles so much easier. If I could find a '19 Mako Shark CVO RG I would seriously consider trading my '15 CVO Street Glide in for it. I ride my 2020 Road Glide Limited more Than my CVO Street Glide now.

I'm pleased that they finally took a break from producing them... The Ultra/Limited is the only model that has been consistently produced every year for a straight 17 years! It was definitely time for a break. Hopefully they will come back with something really exciting.
Glad to see better colour schemes this year, but they still have a long way to go to repeat the glory days of the past IMHO.

Both CVO's I have had the black fork legs looked like crap by 20K miles. My 19 looked so bad at 20K they were covered under warranty. Second set slightly better, took 35K to look as bad as first set. If you put more than 20K a year, chrome is the way to go.
Rather disappointed that the CVO did not get a bigger motor. Motor was one of the reasons to go CVO but its in many bikes now. I always felt when the 114 went into the specials, that the CVO should have gone up in size.
The Road Glide ST is only 2K less than my 09 CVO Road Glide was.

OK I have seen this mentioned a couple of times....I know the frame was changed in 08'. I rode to the 105th in Mill-town. Great event. So my point or question is..What more can you do to this frame? A frame is a frame right? To me the shocks are the comfort makers.
You're asking for things that might be covered in master's classes in geometry, structural dynamics, and various types of suspension technologies. For the purposes of all of us old fart riders, however, no; not all frames are the same.
Just a single tube (a "single cradle") frame is what most everything started with over a century ago. Even most bicycles don't do this anymore. Because they're flexible. In ways that were not good. Single cradles frames led to duplex frames. That's two tubes going back with structural support in between. Much less flexible. And things have moved forward with varying types of triangulation and support from there.
The goal is to make frames stiffer (think FXR versus others of its day). But you can go too far. And none of that speaks to the geometry of the front wheel (angle, how how far forward, etc) or the triangulation/triangle that is a swingarm and how it is hung and supported/attached.
There is a lot going on underneath us.
Post by: Billy on January 29, 2022, 01:43:17 PM
Post by: Twolanerider on January 29, 2022, 03:17:40 PM
I guess I should have said new frame with better suspension over all. Billy Just want a better ride without paying more to upgrade everything
Got it. And I lean the other way. I've got the FXR2 that's old. And the old Road Glide that's old. And the old Road King; that's also old. They've all good suspension front and rear. I don't ride them hard enough to outride the capabilities of even the old frames anymore. So what I've got is good enough. And they're all dialed in to me. Other manufacturer's may not have levels of annoyance that I don't have patience for baked in to their modernization. Harley too often has. So I'm happy where I am.
Only thing I would care to have that I'm missing is ABS. If I wanted it that bad I could do that on the Road Glide or the Road King. And I haven't. So that probably speaks volumes to how much I really want it.

OK I have seen this mentioned a couple of times....I know the frame was changed in 08'. I rode to the 105th in Mill-town. Great event. So my point or question is..What more can you do to this frame? A frame is a frame right? To me the shocks are the comfort makers.
Not an engineer. The frame is 14 years old. The suspension technology is that old. The amount of travel on the rear is not very much. The ability to absorb harsh bumps is poor when compared to my 2021 Pan America, an 2021 Indian Challenger, a 2020 Gold Wing a 2020 BMW GTL or Bagger. They all have more suspension travel than a touring bike by Harley in 2022. The BMW, Goldwing and Pan America have electronics in the suspension and can change ride modes to adjust the suspension, firmer or softer. Ride modes and change lots of other stuff. These bikes also cost thousands less then a CVO.
Harley needs a Frame for the touring bike that can accommodate modern motorcycle suspension and suspension adjustability especially at the 45K plus price point.

Harley has the technology and the parts to make a great touring bike.
I would expect to see the 131 engine in the CVO once they pay for CA CARB certification.
The new revolution engine makes good power, if they would make a touring bike 200 lbs lighter (like the bmw gtl) with decent suspension and keep the ergonomics the same as the current glide models THAT would be a nice bike!
I’ve ridden the new BMW’s. Very nice bike BUT, no “soul”.
Of course this would be a whole new bike and would probably be a departure from current design.
I’m pretty sure the designers are all over drawing future models.
I think Harley missed the boat with the V Rod platform with a touring model, that engine was a pretty nice design with good power and good potential. Friend of ours rode a V rod converted into a bagger, handling problems, didn’t end well. Project halted.
C’mon Harley. Lighter, good suspension, modern power, good ergonomics, nice paint, comparable price point, good reliablity, etc.
Is that too much to ask?
Probably
JMHO :soapbox:

But I can’t believe they are having a $3,000 up charge for certain paint jobs.
just wow. I was at the dealer yesterday asking about pricing on a cvo road glide. That's when I found out about the $3000 dollar paint.
All of these surcharges, and price increases I do not believe will go away.
