While the approximate total CVO production for 2012 of 10,400 units seems like a lot, and is likely more units than Victory cranks out across its entire lineup, in light of the more than 222,000 bikes H-D sold worldwide last year, CVO total production is a drop in the Harley bucket.
For example, a standard model 2012 Street Glide retails for $19,499, and now comes with the Twin Cam 103 engine. The 2012 CVO Street Glide, powered by a Screamin’ Eagle Twin Cam 110, retails for $32,699 – a $13,200 premium over the standard SG. Thirteen big ones is a chunk by just about any measure, but consider for a minute that a Screamin’ Eagle 110 engine upgrade from Harley retails for approximately $5200, and a color upgrade for the standard ’Glide from Harley’s HD1 Customization is another $5300.
So straightaway we have to spend $10,500 just to begin turning a vanilla SG into something of a CVO. But remember that the CVO paint is exclusive to CVO, and done primarily by hand, so obtaining equivalent custom paint would easily push past $5300.
Factor in the CVO Street Glide’s premium sound system with six very loud speakers, up-spec chrome wheels with style-matching brake rotors, custom-style seat with unique stitching, an entire package of stylish chrome accented components, ABS as standard, security system with alarm, and the CVO’s additional $13Gs starts looking a like deal if you’re hot for a top-shelf Harley.
