haha I like your pick of the number 1 CVO of all time ! 2018 in the Gunship grey - Road Glide ! I have one and bloody love it ! the moment it came on the market I bought it !

[mojomanmurph]

As a highly trained unprofessional I must admit I would agree with your opinions. Liked how you mixed it up there listing them out. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Fascinating and I learned a lot.

[PowerYacht]

Great line up. I wished they would still make some of the smaller bikes in CVO format i.e Softail. Since 2017 it's been only about the Touring bikes which I think is a lost chance for HD.

[stevedingman]

CVO Softail Deluxe a good canvas for a Vicla, and you can find them quite affordable.

[frankfattore]

Sounds pretty accurate. There was 1 major difference between the 2007 Springer SE, and the following 2008 and 2009 models, however. The ‘07 model came with the traditional 21” front wheel, while ‘08 and ‘09 models were more like “Fatboy” styled, with both ends having smaller, wider front wheels.

Glad to see the CVO Breakout on the list. Paintwork on those was some of the best I’ve ever seen.

This is THE channel to go to for Harley content. Everything else is a distant second. Love your videos!

My favorite is the 2009 cvo springer green color. One day I will own one. I had the 2008 cvo springer 105th anniversary edition and I still regret selling that bike. I kinda feel weird that I also really like the 2014 cvo deluxe lol. I don't mind owning one. The 110 twin cam is a beast and my favorite motor from the factory. Thanks for the great content Matt!

[wheeltommy]

I literally just today bought one of your most worsts CVO’s. LOL. Just a couple hours before seeing this. The 2009 CVO limited Fat Bob. It may have not sold very well, but that is one screaming awesome riding bike.

I just bought a 2011 CVO convertible so far I like it. I get compliments every day on it. I don't run the windshield on it only cause I'm use to running with out one. The speakers that came with it are good to about 30 mph. But overall I like it. Would I have paid the original price probably not but I'm happy with what I paid for it now.

My favorite is the 2019 CVO Road Glide in Red Pepper and Dark Gray. Gorgeous bike and it came with the new stereo system. Timeless.

[michaelvisser]

Great review! Although I’m a little crushed as I have the 2008 Ultra Classic anniversary bike. You weren’t a fan of the copper (brown) but I love it. Lol!

[garylengel]

Matt, you did an excellent job on this video. One bikes that was not mentioned, although not a CVO, but worth mentioning maybe somewhere else is the 2018 Anniversary street glide. I have the one in the Mat blue with the tattoo eagles on it. One of my favorite all-time bikes ever. As a sidenote, I was very happy to see that my 2007 Canyon red softail springer CVO made the list. That’s a bike that I bought brand new and probably would never sell!

[orangewhip]

I own a deluxe cvo 2014. Fell in love with it the first time I saw it. I changed the wagon wheels and put spoke wheels. I also added accent trims on the fenders and now looks awesome. I only put the saddle bags when I’m going on a long trip and honestly they look good.
Your judgment is purely based on personal preference and taste. I’m disappointed that you haven’t said anything about the 110 engine 1800cc. It’s powerful and quick!

[alain]

Excellent review. 06-07 Ultra CVO’s are my favorite. The leather tour pak gets a huge thumbs up for a custom/non main stream appearance. Also, smaller riders like me enjoy the smaller frame this generation offered. I own an 06 autumn haze and still get compliments. Not because it’s the prettiest bike Harley has ever made, but because it’s not a bike you see everyday and I feel special riding it.

[kowal]

There’s a 2019 CVO breakout that’s orange and chrome/orange flames. It caught my eye SO fast. The dude traded it in, and the bike only has about 2000 miles. This bike was in immaculate condition! Super slick. I really liked it

[perfectliberty]

You nailed it with the 18' and 19' CVO Road Glide. Both are works of art and changed the game for Harley baggers. My personal favorite is the 19" CVO RG Mako. I have a 19' RG Special and I love it but would consider giving it up if I had a chance to get the 19" Mako!!!

[ianmorgan]

Excellent review, out of your top 10 CVO's the 07 CVO Springer would get my vote.

[garywillens]

I own a Blue 2004 CVO STDeuceSE2 and I love it. The bike is gorgeous. Only a 5 speed but all I need for my riding. Too bad you don't let us post pics here.

[borat]

In my opinion that 2018 gunship gray cvo takes the cake
