Just went to a local dealer here in Ohio. "Hall of Fame HD", formerly "Rubber City HD". Wanted to see what they'd give my as a trade-in for my 2019 SGS. I know the new CVO RG is $43k. One of the first things the salesman tells me is that the bike is a "mid-$50k price". I asked him where the hell the extra $13k came from. His response was "dock fees, delivery fees, taxes, etc..." That is just outrageous. I mean, $43k for the bike alone is pretty stupid, but an added $13k just in fees and taxes is absolutely ludicrous. HD cares nothing for loyal riders. They only want doctors and lawyers and trust fund babies to buy their bikes. I love their bikes but I'll never own another brand new HD.
We understand the frustration. However, we would recommend you look at dealers where the owner is on-site. Wilkins Harley is a solo point and family owned. Owners on site. Always ask that question when you visit a store. There are still many dealers that are family owned, not conglomerates.
Great overall review….I prefer the Street Glide but appreciate the in depth explanation of the new features…..Maybe time to upgrade my 2019 CVO……..

Do the 2023 CVOs (SG/RG) come standard with docking hardware, or do I have to add that as an accessory?
