Thank you for being honest about the CVO. I never buy anything first year. It is pioneers like you that will make our experiences better in 3 years
You're probably right. I'm an early adopter. I knew I was going to buy this bike the moment I watched the release video. I expected some issues, but there are some that should have been caught pre-production
That’s true, especially if the bike has a lot of new tech. The Sportster S had a lot of growing pains, mainly because of the Infotainment/LCD screen and software.
False codes, the bike not knowing what mode it’s in and you have to shut it off and restart, ect.
IMO the biggest flaw with newer Harley’s is the infotainment software.
@@RidingandWrenchingthis is just my opinion but I’m sure the issues you’re having with your bike when you ask how did it make it off the manufacturing line to be sold is because the 120th anniversary CVO. Harley took a huge L with the 120th anniversary CVO and in my opinion I believe they rushed the release of this CVO to make up for the terrible reception the 120th got. I personally believe this bike was supposed to come out in 2024, but after losing so many CVO customers to the Indian Pursuit and Challenger Elite they had to push up the release. I could be 100% wrong but that’s just what it felt like to me.
Do the Wilbur's suspension really work and worth it?
@@moneymike42 I don't have them on this bike, but yes I think they are worth it
You are easy to listen to...brilliant and explanations make sense.
Thank you!
My bike got a clutch, a gear shifter, front and rear brakes. It has a tombstone windshield and saddlebags. That's all I need. Riding the bike itself is where all the entertainment is.
Well said Cue! Thank you for speaking for us 2023 CVO owners 👍🔥
I have faith that they will get it right
I believe the person doing the infotainment quality control is the same one doing the crankshaft runout quality control 😂
Just bought mine, and now I am worried. That being said, I am finding your candor and expertise refreshing and enlightening. Thank you sir! Love to meet you in person someday!
No cause for concern. I believe HD will solve the glitches eventually. It's unfortunate that it's taking so long, but I can only imagine that there are some hurdles they are jumping through. If you haven't already done so, be sure to join the FB group. There are some really active owners who can help with alot of issues. See you on the road!
@@RidingandWrenching I did join the FB page! I do have a question for you regarding the sequence to pair your wireless headset and iphone to the bike for the best result? What sequence do you find worked best? And what did you pair to WHAT?
Exact reasons why i jumped ship..too many issues for the cost of ownership...went with the Bmw R18 Transcontinental... amazing ride..my son went with K1600b.. spoke yesterday to a former CVO owner..he had his fill..went with the same as my son..u get more bang for ur buck..half the price of the CVO.. good luck...Ride Safe!!😊
I bought a beautiful Road Glide, and owned it for a total of 1000 miles. 4 days after I bought it, the entire wiring fried itself, and had to be replaced. 2 weeks later, the throttle by wire failed in rush hour traffic, and 2 weeks later, the oil pump failed, and burned up one of the pistons. Yeah, everything was covered, but I didn't trust the bike, at that point. Fortunately, Harley took the bike back, and applied my down payment, and warranty, onto a new bike. I bought a 2023 Road King Special, in all black. It runs like a champ.
my saying.... all those bells and whistles are obsolete.... just bringing riders in trouble...
H-D has used it's customers as Beta-Testers for years. The most recent again was with the Pan-America & SportsterS, Rev-Max Engines. Both those Bikes had all types of problems, and only now the 2023 Models do they "Seem" to have been fixed. ????
Always great information Cue! Thanks
Thanks for the great overview..
Two thumbs up!!
Great video !! Very informative !!!
Great job covering everything. I like how matter of fact you are. Definitely will come back to your channel.
Thank you Sir for a very good review on the CVO 2023 model year.
Very candid and insightful. Thank you.
Hopefully someone at Harley HQ watches this video.
Thanks for an informative video.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for this excellent review! Your channel is awesome!
Sorry to hear about your experience. Harley really needs to address these issues asap.
Excellent review
Great video. Thanks for being honest about the things that frustrate you on the bike. Many UA-camrs won’t disclose these for fear they won’t get invited to the next Harley event.
😂😂Maybe just got myself uninvited to any future event! The reality is that I love Harley. I have 3 of their bikes in my garage to prove it.
While I enjoy UA-cam and the ability to take my hobby and turn it into something productive.....I'm not relying on UA-cam for anything...nor am I relying on any company to support me. I appreciate opportunities to work with OEM's and other companies, but no partnership will compromise my opinions.
Looking forward to seeing your new bike.
Bruh, great content, and explanation of these issues.
Excellent video as usual
Cue, I’m really glad I saw this video,I almost pulled the trigger on a new 121, I will hold off and wait a bit. I appreciate your honesty, a lot of people wouldn’t share these issues. Thank you again Cue.
Awesome review and a honest assessment, thanks for sharing 👍🏽
I don’t own a CVO, but at the price point of this bike, my language would be pretty blue with fit, finish, and electronics issues. I really love the new fairing look and if Harley Davidson gave me one…you wouldn’t hear a peep out of me. They are beautiful!
Subbed , Cue is too genuine to miss out on.
An honest review from a guy with a cool name and now a very cool shirt. I enjoy your channel Cue and hope to meet you someday with the kickstand up. I have my eye on that engine making its way into the Ultra Limited with removable lowers. I'm still riding my 2013 FLHTK with over 161,000 miles because I do not want lowers mounted on my crash bars during the summer.
I’m totally with you on the removable lowers.
And where did that Cool name come from, @Cue tha Rider
Beautiful bike
Nice video. Very informative.
Thank you!
Seen your vids but havent seen a recent one i guess and didn't know you got a new rg cvo. Sucks to have issues with a new bike but this bike is indeed pretty sweet. Congrats!
Cue, thank you very much or spending your time to inform us. I appreciate your thorough evaluation on this new CVO and all if the rest of your videos. You can teach & inform an old army guy!!!!!!!! Go Army Beat Navy!!!!
Dream on my friend! Go Navy!!
Really a nice looking bike. So sorry about these issues that will pose a safety problem. The more technology......The more stuff to go wrong. Be careful and safe Cue. I love that Stang!
Thanks Q
Thanks!
Good morning, I enjoy your videos. I own 2020 Indian Challenger and we Indian riders understand your joys dealing with the great infotainment systems. Hopefully HD will have updates later this year for all you HD riders
I’m with you… the bike wasn’t ready to be put out. Barely at 1000 miles. And they had to rewire my whole bike because of the harness location. And now it’s in the shop for the recall on the rear brake clamp. All that being said, I still don’t regret buying the bike.
Agreed! I love Harley and I love my bike. They really need to step up and make sure that their marque product is the best of the best.
It’s not that it wasn’t ready, it’s that it’s the first model, always plagued with bugs. It was the same when the first M8’s started rolling out and huge olí issues
Bugs will be ironed out with subsequent models
Excellent review, Thank You - Test drove a RG CVO last week and have a 22 RG Limited. I was very impressed with it but wondered about all the new features and tech stuff. Seems Harley has always had issues on new model releases, like the M8. After the ride I thought about getting one but wondered about potential issues and decided it'd be best to wait for a future model after the bugs are worked out. the sound system was terrific. I'd disable that stupid kick-stand feature, seems it's more problematic then helpful. Totally different look for a Road Glide, I'm on my third one.
So glad I found your channel. Very informative and helpful information. Hoping Harley brings out a 2024 CVO limited with all the upgrades.
Me too. I might trade one of my other bikes for a CVO limited
The tip over sensor would worry me, Hopefully Harley can pinpoint problem, thanks for the review.
Nice Job Cue! I guess I'm pretty lucky in that the only issues I can really complain about is my right side pocket opening in high winds or over big bumps. Harley absolutely needs to fix the kickstand and tip-over warning issues. Those are safety issues and I for one am not trying to Beta test something that can potentially cause bodily harm to myself, a passenger or anyone else. I hope this is a fairly isolated issue, but at the very least we need a statement from Harley on this. As for the the suspension, it's not perfect, but as a big guy, I think it is leagues above previous models. The settings in the manual are not exact and you have to play with them, but once locked in, the suspension rivals my previous Legend Revo-A and Ohlins 044 setups for handling and ride comfort. I totally agree that the engine in this bike is phenomenal. Harley absolutely did a great thing here. Thank you for all you Do Cue and thank you for allowing me to be a moderator on the Facebook page. What an awesome bunch of people starting with yourself! -Jonathan
Great video Cue, I have to say though that Harley isn't alone in pushing out vehicles before they are ready. I am a technician at a luxury German car dealership and it is very frustrating and disappointing how poor the quality control is on new vehicles and the number of recalls issued to address problems that should have been discovered and fixed before the vehicles are released. The manufacturer stands behind their vehicles, but customers are still being inconvenienced and confidence in the product suffers. Glad you are still enjoying the CVO in spite of the glitches.
It's a great bike. The glitches are frustrating though. Especially the ones that seem to be easily fixed
The "higher-ups" announce that a product will be available on XX-XX-XXXX, the technicians, mechanics, engineers, department heads say that is is not yet ready for release.
Guess what?
Yes Being in Memphis , you better duck when wearing that shirt. 😂😂😂
😂😂that doesn't mean shoot me!
Great video. I’ve been watching your videos forever but after today’s video I’m a subscriber! Love how you expressed your true feelings about the bike. So many you tubers (some of which you mention from time to time) never have anything to say that might effect their relationship with Harley. I am on my second 2023 Street Glide CVO. Had leaking oil issues on the second day of ownership and a tip over warning that they could not get to go off a couple of days later, new bike. The new bike seems to be better but I still have the CarPlay issues. Just received a recall notice yesterday so it’ll head to the shop shortly. What bothers me must is that Harley will not step up and hey we have a few issues but are working diligently to correct them. Just wishful thinking on my behalf. Anyway, keep up the good work and try not to let to much time go by between videos. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm a big fan of Harley (I own 3). I just want them to be better.
I wanted to stay out of problems cause we have plenty as is, so I got a new Goldwing. Nothing but pleasure and ZERO problems. Enjoy HD.
The Goldwing is nice motorcycle. Enjoy!
Any time a person makes the decision to spend 50k on a motorcycle. The answer is, YES! You have made a huge mistake. That is insane.
Cost is irrelevant. You buy what is within your budget. The issue is flaws with a marquee feature
Sorry to hear the issues. Not giving you a hard time but I was thinking about my first bike a 73 ShovelHead SuperGlide that I put a lot of cross country miles on, it had NONE of that stuff that you've had trouble with, just a basic MOTORCYCLE and I loved it. Still riding at 71 now on a 03 Dyna FXD and IT doesn't have any of that stuff either.
Great video bro
Don't hype him up! Lol just playing
I have one too cvo Road glide I have yet to have one issue with mine I did a khrome wreks 2into1 / Harley tuner I bought it for the performance beside wanting a front drop in ohlins & a t bar set up I’m done upgrading my bike with new pipe tune & new air cleaner 115 hp 129 tq & rear hd772 ohlins the bike is amazing
That's the problem with so much technology, more things to go wrong.
That's true
I have this bike and absolutely love it, it’s all what you personally like
I love my CVO. It's a great bike especially now that Harley has addressed most of the glitches that early owners experienced.
Thank you for your review unfortunately I didn’t watch this before I bought my 2023 cvo road glide I knew there could be possible bugs to work out I’ll keep you posted on any issues I run into hopefully none.
Be sure to join the FB group. Lots of great people there to help you work through any issues that arise
facebook.com/groups/239520952275662/?ref=share_group_link
That rule of thumb, "Never buy a first-year model" rings true again.
I can't help myself! I am an early adopter.
Thank you for sharing. I have not had issues with the kick stand yet but I was not told about this feature so naturally I thought something was wrong with my bike when I put the kick stand down while in 1st gear, just prior to shutting it off. I thought it just died. I too have had some issues with the blue tooth connectivity. Also struggling to get parts for it for the Stage 1 Upgrade. Finally found some slip ons from Krome Werks and I finally got the S&S air cleaner to upgrade from the giant air cleaner that comes stock. I am also waiting for Klock Werks to come out with the 9in windshield as I am only 5' 8" and the ones that Harley has and the ones that Klock Werks currently have available are to tall for me.
I have experienced the kickstand issue twice. I still don't know what caused it, however, HD has had a few software updates that (hopefully) have addressed these issues. I thoroughly enjoy riding this motorcycle
Thanks for the FB page getting lots of good info to Australia, my gripes homelink not working here & little disappointed with the standard of wiring & position of wiring, wiring bent to much wiring sleeves to short , loving the bike would just like a bit more quality for the price
Love the shirt
Thank you!
All those problems on a $50,000 that's why you never buy anything the first year comes
I'm an early adopter. It's one of my many faults. I actually like the bike. The types of problems most are experiencing should be easy to fix.
I totally get it...I'm the same way when it comes to something new, except when it comes to Harley...lol... good luck with everything, I hope you stay safe and they figure out all the bugs
Hey Cue. New Sub. Great info. I have a 22 Pan America S and it seems like your issues are simular to some of the things we seen. They were rolling out updates almost every month for a while. We seem to be in a good place now. There were some cold weather issues so I'm interisted in hearing how you make out. Great stuff and that is a beautiful bike. Ride safe.
Seems like there should have been some lessons learned from the Pan America that would have made this a better launch. I still love the bike. I love Harley. I just want them to be better
Don't feel bad I have a 2023 Ducati Diavel V4 which is the first V4 model year. So far i have had the following warranty repairs: cool fans, exhaust butterfly valve servo motor, and servo cable. Also the Ducati turn by turn software is difficult to pair the first time. I love my bike as well. If you love the bike that's all that matters. Slow Rider out.
First year model problems... glad to hear your engine is operating well. I am looking out for 121 VVT engine reviews. HD has a history of first year model problems. Look how long it took them to solve the oil sumping with 7 or so oil pump redesigns. HD stock suspensions on their touring bikes has always been garbage. I have read that the new CVO suspension is an improvement over previous years. Thanks for the review. :-)
I like that shirt Bro
Great review, as always. Harley needs to step up and sponsor u more for all u do
Thanks bro!
Loving the shirt
Thanks bro!
I'm glad I watched this. I love the styling of the new CVO and 2024 Street Glide but I figured there was going to be problems with all the new electronics. I agree, they should have waited until they hammered all those things out, especially since these bikes are so expensive. One thing Harley knows how to do is charge high dollar for their stuff.
There have been several software updates, so hopefully the glitches have been resolved. These motorcycles look amazing and they ride very well.
Great video Cue!!! A tip I learned years ago with anything you drive, Never buy the first year of anything until they workout the issues that folks like you experience!!! Looking forward to your next vid!! Don
One of my personal defects is that I am an early adopter! I was hooked on these bikes when I first saw the reveal. It is a really nice bike. Fortunately the things that are "wrong" are easy fixes
I'm a sucker too my man!! Thats what I'm talkin bout!!@@RidingandWrenching
@@thedon7726 I feel confident that Harley will fix these issues....I just wish that they had done pre-launch
You been laying down the miles for sure !!!
That's what I do!
@@RidingandWrenching good for you !!! 🏁🏁🏁
As a Harley owner for 20 years, I've learned anything new is pretty much validated by the consumer, fixed on later models, and sometimes offered as an upgrade at an unreasonable COST to early adopters who did Harley's validation for them. Could be cam tensioners, oil pumps, cush sprockets, fairing mounts, your issues, etc. My issues with my 2023 Wing Tour auto since Feb and 6k miles are that I can't find more time to ride it in Michigan with owning a Summer seasonal business.
Love your videos, Cue. I watch them all.
I expected issues with the bike...just not this many. The sad part is that I'm betting someone knew about them and either said nothing or there was a push to get the bikes out by the 120th. Either way, it makes Harley look bad in my opinion. It's a shame because this is an extraordinary bike
wow, surprising to hear about issues on their flagship bike!
IMO infotainment is the area that most manufacturers struggle with the most- i would rather just have Apple CarPlay and be done with it. they don’t all need to try and make their own systems… and clearly they’re not that good at it
It is not just Harley. We are living in a "sell the beta" world. Thanks for sharing.
Unacceptable for a bike so expensive,at that price it should be perfect actually,I’m happy with my Lowriderst,very simple electronic
Go NAVY
Yes sir!
Harley sells a garage door opener for your other bikes that gets wired into the headlight circuit and uses the high beam switch. I’ve used them for years and love it.
I didn't know that! It's included in the new CVOs....atleast some of them
instead of wiring them to your headlight, the garage door opener can be wired to a momentary switch. I did it and it works fine without potentially compromising the headlight
Great video, thank you. Kick stand issue is scary, hope it’s addressed asap. You are spot on on the infotainment system. HD has never been great on electronics. Sad thing is the CVO owners are always the testors for the new electronics. Hope they get you squared away very soon for the money you have paid
Kenny at Clemmons Motorcycle Shop told me that Harley is supposed to release software updates in the coming year maybe they will address the issues that were mentioned
For the price of this bike all of that is ridiculous. Harley will never change. HD still using customers for R&D 😂.
i bought one.. whiskey neat.. and harley did perfect.. the ones who can't afford are the one to complain this and that about HD😂😂 DONT HATE CAUSE ITS OUT OF YOUR PRICE RANGE😂😂 progress is going woke!! 😂😂😂😂😂
@@newjersey4930 you have no fucking idea what my price range is.
Any this any different that the first year model redesign with automobiles? No. Everyone knows the first year model of any redesign has bugs the manufacturer has to work out whether is Harley-Davidson, Ford, Chevrolet, etc. I bet HD has already addressed these with TSBs at the dealer and the 2024 CVO will be be much more refined.
@@newjersey4930 keep getting drunk off the Kool-Aid ….
You have another new Harley?!?!?! Congrats. When is the introductory video coming out?
On my 2022 Road Glide ST, I experience the same issues with CarPlay where it is super tempermental on what order you connect everything and then sometimes i can't figure out how to get it to connect at all without turning the bike completely off for a minute or two! For information i'm using the HD Sena 50S (which isn't the best sounding). I'm waiting for all the bugs to be worked out before i consider a newer bike with a brand new motor and infotainment system. Anyway thanks for putting out another great video i really enjoy your content as well as has made me want to push my slow speed riding!
Thanks for watching! Slow speed riding is fun to me. Almost as fun as getting out on the open road
Great synopsis. Thank you. I was considering the CVO Street Glide but it sounds like there are a lot of kinks still to be ironed out.
My Street Glide ST has some of the issues you mention like the fairing compartment door popping open when going over a bump so that might be a legacy issue. I also preordered the Sportster S and had a similar experience with glitchy tech and new features not working on top of extreme unreliability so I sold it.
Sometimes I wonder how these things are tested, if at all, and which issues are knowingly allowed out the door to be resolved later.
Hopefully they will get the kinks out soon. Fortunately most of them are minor
Your Mustang. Love it. Have you thought of doing videos of the car? I enjoy all your content sir.
I'll do a video on the Mustang soon
Man, I’m sorry your going through all them trials and tribulations. That’s why I never buy the first year of a new production vehicle…to many bugs. I’ll buy like the 3rd year maybe…hopefully harley will watch this vid and address these issues and possibly recall. Best of luck!
All good. In spite of the glitches, I still love the bike.
@@RidingandWrenching Bruh I could never feel comfortable out there on them streets worrying if it’s go to shut off on me..it could kill you bro. For the amount of money you spent on it? Nope! It would be going back. Good luck my dog.
I agree with you. I did not buy my M8 for that reason until 2022.
@@swiss9632 the motor in this bike is amazing!
@@RidingandWrenching mines a 21, no complaints
In talking with the service guys here, it sounds like the "Tipover" warning has been popping up quite a bit. It has not happened to me, but seems to be happening to many others.
Unfortunately, I fell into that "No preload out the door" trap. Definitely a missed opportunity here, since my Pan America self-adjusts very nicely.
I have the drop guards I highly recommend them they will pay for themselves immediately if you drop the bike
Guess ive been lucky only issue ive had the infotainment screen got stuck once in 2k miles
Great video Cue... I think your experiencing 1st year model change issues. Harley appears to have plenty of bugs to work out.
Hopefully they get them squared away soon. Fortunately they seem to be minor issues
I'll stick with my 2010 RG. I put black, CVO bars on it and updated the stereo and speakers. I will say that I do love CVO Roadglides. Especially the colour you have.
It's a great bike. It will be better once Harley addresses the glitches
I love my nighttrain 2002 no toys at all
I have one identical to your. Got 3500 miles on it. I have a couple small issues, but no where near your problems.
The kickstand issue has only happened twice and I haven't been able to predict when it will happen. My expectation is that a future software update will resolve most of the issues
I'm sure one of the upcoming upgrades will be a fully adjustable F/R suspension on the fly and through the infotainment screen with an auto mode. It should have been on a flagship bike that's this expensive.
I don't see HD changing but hopefully they will listen to the customer. It has always seemed like HD only cares if the bikes are selling then there are no problems to immediately address.
Hopefully they get this figured out. This bike is a great opportunity to expand the reach of HD....but only if it's executed properly
@RidingandWrenching That's true. Hearing your review has me nervous about the 24 RGS and SGS coming out. I want one, but I will wait for real-world reviews like yours first.
@@poundthatpavement652 if they come out with a 24 Limited CVO, I may get one. Otherwise the only bike I'm getting this year is a Road King
I just bought this bike on Dec 19th 2023 it had 9 miles on it. I put an additional 8 miles on it the day they delivered it to my house which was the 22nd of Dec. I have started it a few times a week since then. I had the engine light come on and I checked the codes and reset them. It went away for couple more times of starting it and let it idol. Now it's on again so I ran the code and looked it up it has something to do with the coolant system. Now the dealership is coming to pick it up to check it out. I'm a little nervous to be having issues already with only 17 miles on it. I always swore I wouldn't buy a Harley I've always owned Honda's and never had one issue. I bought it in hopes since they redesigned it in 2023 that they made progress in there quality making.I just hope it's an easy fix and runs great after this. I also have two hose like components running up in front of my gas tank that rub against my handle bar housing causing black marks on it. I don't see away to keep these from doing that. Last but not least on my exhaust side of the bike I had a wire harness hanging down about 3cm from the exhaust so I had to use electrical tape to cover the wires going into the harness and zip that harness up to the frame. I'm sorry but 45,000 dollar bike I shouldn't be noticing wires like that or the other issues I mentioned. It's a beautiful bike and rides smooth but they need to fix this before it even gets sent out. The CVO is there top bike so build it like it is.
That's too bad. Hopefully HD fixes the glitches. The CVO's are amazing motorcycles
Love your videos, my one question is have they fixed the oil consumption on these engines? My 17 was a guzzler and dealer did nothing. My Challenger use none.
Very good sir. I just discovered your channel so I will have to check out your other videos. I'm considering a CVO in the near future and it's nice to hear some real reviews. The good and the bad. I was concerned with the infotainment center. It almost seems to me that with there being so many different things it could be a rider distraction. Any thoughts guys ? I like to be able to access the stereo without aggravation. As well as monitor engine vitals and speedometer. For me, everything else is just a distraction.
I don't find the system to be distracting. It's different than the Boom GTS, but it's easy to learn. There are alot of options for configuring the screen, but once you find what you like, it always stays the same. I will do another video on the different screen options discussing the pros and cons of each set up
Sounds like a fantastic bike. I feel Harley does not look at any bike before they go onto the truck. And with anything new, there will be glitches but they will work them out. Ride Safe
The outro was great😂😂😂
Hello! Unfortunate that Harley Davidson releases the new CVO’s with issues. That aside. Definitely and nice buy and bike!
I own your same bike - I have had 0 issues after 2k miles. I guess I hit luck. On the infotainment, I have had 0 issues, waiting an extra 30 sec to let the compose up, connect my headset, and then my phone has not bothered me at all. It’s only 30 seconds.
That's the same priority I've been using. Switch on then wait for the infotainment system to boot up before starting the engine. So far zero issues. Hopefully I'm on the right path.
Same. I haven't had any issues with mine......yet.
That's a lot of issues! Hopefully they fix them in 24. I'm not gonna lie though, that ending made me literally lol. I retract that statement!
😂😂😂I was laughing hysterically when I found that clip!
@@RidingandWrenching 😂😂
I have a 2024 street glide and I haven’t had an luck with the apple car play either. I’m going to have to upgrade the radio before I can tell you how it sounds,I do like it better than my 2016 road glide.
If you have the 2 speaker set up, you will definitely need an amp and better speakers. Reach out to Volunteer Audio. They have an amp upgrade ready
Well damn I’ve been buying CVO’s since 2011 it had a garage door opener.
This is my first CVO. I didn't know that they included garage openers.
This is terrible news. The quantity of issues you have experienced is unacceptable. I would think the lemon law would kick on at this point? I hope you get it sorted. Love the shirt!
I'll take it to the dealership when they get the parts for the recall. Hopefully they can fix some of these bugs. It's a shame because the bike is really awesome
The MoCo isn’t revolutionary, it’s evolutionary. Each time it comes up with new old technology…it seems to take at least three model years to get the bugs worked out. They should have the vvt and electronics sorted by around 2026… probably just in time for the big water cooled twin to be introduced (restarting the evolution trend clock).
I have a very favorable opinion of the VVT. I have no idea how it works, but I can tell you that the output is exceptional. Great power AND great fuel economy. That is a rare feat.
Also, this bike is water cooled just like prior M8's on the limited models. The difference that I have seen is the location of the coolant reservoir and the size/location of the radiator.
Whats the old saying .... Never buy the first version of a new model. The glitches will be corrected in later models.
Thanks for the review. Its sad that the quality control becomes worse and worse and i believe a lot has to do with Chinese parts. These bikes are expensive and HD riders are loyal. Has the dealership addressed any of the glitches? BTW i love your shirt
