I have been told that Harley has cut way back on CVO production for 18.  Any truth to this?

[CVODON]

Who supplied you with that info?

[WTF Chuck]

I was also told by two dealers that they would be getting way fewer CVO's
this year. The dealer I bought my 14 has never had a problem getting CVO's I called him to ask when he would have a CVO ultra in the dark red fade or what ever they are calling it. He told me did not know if he would get one said he was only getting  6 CVO'S total for the year.  True or not I don't know.

[Para Bellum]

My dealer said the same thing about lower #s, which info came from the dealer show.  Won't really know if it's true until end of year.

I'm hearing fewer CVO's from my dealer also. I was told only 1200 of the anniversary Ultra, and my dealer was getting only 1.

[Para Bellum]

I think all the dealers were told this.

[grc]

It makes sense if you think about it.  They've been cutting back production on regular models for a few years now due to slowing sales, and dealers have had leftover CVO's over those years as well.  At some point manufacturers have to back off on production OR run a fire sale to clear out older inventory.  Harley is loath to run fire sales, unlike many car companies.

Went to 2 dealers in Omaha today and no new CVOs

I don't know if it is because of sluggish sales, it makes me think more of how luxury brands like Channel or Hermes handle sales of particular products: small production volume to generate rarity, to tease demand, justifying higher prices. Or like Ferrari, to get one of their top cars you have to be a long time customer...

In my opinion with the ugly paint on the CVO Limited that would be a good choice. My local dealer has the red one and no buyers.

Was at Hales in Mansfield Ohio today and the owner said the same thing, he had two come in and sold both, he didn't really know when he was get his next one and also stated they cut back on production

All dealers only get one of the Anniversary CVO Limiteds in the blue.

What dealer is that.

[Jock]

What dealer is that.

Mount Vernon, IL claims to have one on stock...

Stopped by a stealership on Friday and sales guy said the same thing... Less CVO's in '18. IMO it's probably due to overall sales dropping, I would guess production is/will be lowered on all bikes... don't make sense to build them if you can't sell them.
