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 !
Based on what he said, you might want to keep that one forever. Looks like it's already a collector's item.
Except it’s been painted on everything for 2022, not very special anymore lol
It's been dropped to many times, watch his videos. According to his videos he bought it used, sight unseen and had it delivered.
Yes, that one hits number one for me too. Yours is even better with the new mods...
@@mojomanmurph1925 haha the way he rides them not so much. Good fucking channel tho.
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.
Thank you sir. I always appreciate your support
@@andrewvickers4487 yep….
@@andrewvickers4487 I taught him everything I know about being unprofessional and he highly trained about it too.
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.
Love my FXR 's! Thanks for including us in the video! You left out the 2007 CVO DYNA, I have one too and love it!
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!
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.
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!
Great job on recapping the CVO’s really enjoyed your commentary on each one
Another great presentation Matt! I have a deposit down on the Hightail Yellow CVO Street Glide. Thank you for the detailed insight, and I look forward to your next review!
Glad to see the CVO Breakout on the list. Paintwork on those was some of the best I’ve ever seen.
I agree. I have the chrome look 2014 breakout, it’s a beast and only has 824 miles on it.
I, too, still have and love my 2014 CVO chrome Breakout. Great bike.
What a great idea for a video, I really enjoyed looking back at some cool bikes along with a little history. Good stuff!
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
Just a fantastic video Matt! You bring up things that I would have never even thought of. It's like going to Harley school.
Awesome video! Well done and I’m sure it was a lot of work to edit/produce. I love looking at all the CVOs. For me- it will always be a vivid black ultra limited but I sure enjoy seeing and learning the history.
Great list Matt, extremely thorough. Totally digging those 2013 Road King rims, some of the best rims going! One of my buddies over here in Ma has that Pro Street Breakout for sale FYI.
Fantastic. informative, and entertaining video. Much appreciated you taking the time to put this together for us.
Great work Matt! Thank you for putting together a beautiful walk down this historic path. 👍💥
Great video. Informative with lots of history background as always. Harley person will learn a lot about HD by keeping up with this channel. Thank you Matt. Making the time to film and collect footage from previous videos and do all that editing is a lot of work. Your work is really appreciated. About my opinion about CVOs. I think Street Glides make a real beauty when it comes to CVO models. Definitely not the Ultra or Road Glide. If I’m going for a CVO it’s a SG for sure. I’m a little bit disappointed that none of the 2020 SG CVOs made it to the top of the list. Thank you again Matt ✌🏻
the 2019 & 2020 are quite the special FLHXSE CVO Street Glides too...
Great video Matt! This is a great example of what makes your channel better that the rest - Your insights and knowledge base is far above! Keep up the great work!
Thank you ! I’ll try to flex my knowledge more often 😉
Appreciate the time you out in on this. Yes I agree with number 1. Gorgeous machine. Unfortunately price is ridiculous on all the bikes.
So Matt just wanted to say I love these HD lore videos you do as they just aren’t very common. It’s because of you and your videos and passion that I now work at Farrow HD as a salesmen and it inspired myself to pursue working for such a heritage-rich brand. I can now say I finally found my life calling. I would also say I know a whole lot about HD but your videos show just how much your knowledge base goes beyond what even I know. Great video and can’t wait to see the future of HD first hand!
How’s the job going?
@@hurt1704 awesome! Literally get to share what I love with other people. Not to mention I get to do something I did all the time before and that is talk about and ride Harleys every day.
@@antoniocampos6627 awesome. Do most salesman make pretty good money selling Harley’s?
Great video Matt, you showed me some CVO’s that I didn’t know existed! Liked your number one pick, though my favourite is the Mako Shark Fade.
This is THE channel to go to for Harley content. Everything else is a distant second. Love your videos!
Thank you! Good to know my effort is appreciated by the viewers. Thanks
How about the 2007 FXDSE Dyna?
you did it again Matt. great content and interesting info on the CVO. Thank you.
I had to save this one Matt, it will need to be watched over and over. Most definitely my favorite of all your videos and you have some good ones 🤠 this did the best job of explaining what the Harley Davidson motor company was doing when they created the CVO. I might switch a couple of your picks 🤔 but I would have to take some time to say what ones.
You nailed it Matt ! really nice line up and choices. As a Road King rider, I hope to see another CVO Road King hit the road soon !
Thanks for the video Matt. Nice information on the history of CVOs.
Excellent review , out of your top 10 CVO's the 07 CVO Springer would get my vote.
Hi Matt Great video. Never realized how many great bikes were out there. I had 2 CVO's 12 street glide black with ghost flames and 15 Road glide Ultra Amber sunset/black both great paint but unfortunately both had 110 's The 12 had to towed in 3 times and the 15 top end blew at 21000 miles Thank God I had the Mac daddy warranty!!!
Great video and great list! You’re right about the Fat Bob. Overlooked by many. Love mine even though it’s not a CVO. It’s an ‘08 in Crimson Red Denim. Never getting rid of it although I’d really like a RG!
Absolutely loved the video.
So the picture of the 2001 Blue road glide in the video is actually my bike . So that was a funny surprise .
I was like man I hope he has my bike on the list then bam it's my actual bike .
That was entertaining and humorous. Your voice in describing the worst ones had me laughing. There was no question how you felt !!!
Nice selection...I'm a simple guy so my ride is a 2015 FLHTP Electra Glide Police done in vivid black. Hasnt had a cop within 50 yards of it ever. I rode it out of the dealer NEW after the mandatory 90 day wait. Pulled the seat off immediately, put an ultra low seat on it, a nice smaller trunk/passenger backrest and passenger boards and some nice Rush Racing 3"slip ons with bullet tipped "Slash Ups" on it to complete the look and that was it. Sounds great. This police unit equipped this way checks all my boxes and probably at 69 my forever ride. My all time favorite would have to be the 2009 CVO Road Glide. Good job as usual, Matt!
Enjoyed this video a lot. Was fun going down memory lane and getting educated a bit.
Great video. I would also be interested in you covering your different performance upgrades. Stage 1-4 , in relation to each engine.107,114,117 and the benefits of each. Thanks!
Agree with you fully about the 2009 SERG. That was a bike that really turned me on to the RG and the prospect of CVO's on touring saddle bag models, although some earlier Electra Glide had the CVO I believe. The blackened 2010 or 2011 Electra Glide put the whole blackened concept on my radar also. It really appealed to me. Also the 2018/2019 Gunship Gray and other RG CVO from those years with the 21" front wheel and the painted accent part (??name) that runs vertical just in front of the AC made all those bikes winners. Your picks for the worse 4 were perfect.
Matt you put a smile on my face when you put my bike at #9. I have a 2001 model year in blue. I’m in New England and ride it year round. I picked it up with 14700 miles two years ago for a song. I absolutely love this bike!!
Enjoy all of your videos. I grew up in SoCal. Now live in SE Louisiana. Always looking forward to your next video.
Love your opinions....just bought the 2022 CVO Road Glide in Steel Blue. The black chrome is so unique and the blue steel pops. I also own a 2006 CVO VRod....in the destroyer color.....fastest production bike I have ever ridden.
Awesome video. Also it is great to see huge progress in your videography skills over the years man. Hope I will het there one day on my channel. Beautiful bikes like piece of art!
Awesome history on the CVO’’s! Thanks for sharing.
I think you hit it head on Mr Laidlaw! Of course I like your list cuz you had my CVO on there as an honorable mention…2016 Pro Street Breakout. Love the video!
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.
Also have a 2019 CVO road glide I have the two-tone silver lightning silver and shard steel. Is definitely my favorite but they’re all nice
What a great informative list of your favorites, I have noticed the CVO prices are very high and probably worth every penny HD was asking, I am partial to the Springer, Breakout and the Road Glide. I am partial to the solid paint schemes the gray color just pops. I think IMO the style of the bike stands out and the paint should add to the overall look and appearance but that is my taste and what I look for. Thank you for sharing your opinions!
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!
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.
Good info. I definitely didn't lay out all the details.
Awesome video Matt great show of the Motor Companies products. Saw some Harley I never knew exisited.
Great video! I watched the whole thing! Thanks!
Awesome content brother!! Keep them coming.
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.
Thank you for the continued great content Matt! I am still loving my 2019 Mako Shark!
Enjoy!
Amen!!! Wanna go 131 on mine…changed seat to CVO limited heated seat with red stitching. Have it listed for sale right now but think I’m gonna take it off…
Great list, pretty spot on with everything. I would’ve rate of the ride, CVO, a little higher, cause I’m certainly biased on that one. I love the break out. Also, I love the feel and ride of the drag bikes more than the big touring bikes even though I have a 2020 RKS. I had to upgrade that one to 128. keep up with the great videos.
I owned a 2018 CVO Road Glide in Black Earth/Vivid Black and loved it. Unfortunately it had to go for financial reasons 🥲. So glad to see it as your number 1. Also a bonus for me was two of your worse choices are bikes that friends of mine own 🤣 PS Great idea for a video. Your content just keeps on getting better and better.
CVO Softail Deluxe a good canvas for a Vicla, and you can find them quite affordable.
Every time I have my quoted ugly Brown bike out I get stopped by about 30 people wondering where it came from and what it is. I used to trust what was said but lately his videos are ass
Hi Mat, a great video of the different CVO Bikes! I’m a little bit sad not to find my 2-wheel-love, but hey…maybe it would be on the worst list 😅
Fully satisfied with my 2001 FWDWG3 CVO Dyna Wide Glide black/gold leave flames ❤️
It runs still reliable and sound great with its carburated motor 👍
I knew which one would be #1. I’m happy to see the FXR3 as #2. As a proud owner of one of the 900 FXR2 (mine is Arresting Red), I’m convinced that the Screaming Eagle (Latter CVO) workmanship holds the test of time. It’s a 1999 model and if feels, to this day, better built than any other Harley Davidson motorcycle I’ve ever owned. I had the 2007 orange Springer briefly and my compadre lent me his 2019 CVO Road Glide for a week. CVO’s are totally worth the price. I don’t get the complaints from the same people who would never question the difference between base to premium trims on cars. Specially since CVO’s are not assembled along their normal counterparts. It’s a luxury decision, no doubt.
Amazing video, as always! ⚡️
Interesting video, thanks for putting it together.
That was a very informative video. I’m in the market right now for your CVO and this helped me out quite a bit. appreciate all the content. Take care….some gorgeous bikes.
Glad I could help. Good luck with the CVO purchase.
The dark blue with orange street glide cvo is awesome but my all time favorite is what you chose Matt, the 18 road glide in gunship gray. I loved the road glide style when the street glide was the bike to own. Now everyone has a road glide...lol. their all pretty damn amazing tho. You have a dream job man...
Your vid popped up and I was excited and scared at the same time, lol. I was wondering if my 13 King would hit the list (and praying it wasn't on the bad side, lol). Great video and point of view!
Good job Matt, arguably 2005/06 SE/CVO change differentiating performance line with custom line missed its mark. All a SE guy really wants to here is how much faster his bike is over a standard model. Your choice of the VRod those years supported your statements. Their was another SE those years that is popular and still hold value. That was the FLSTSE Fat Boy with the introduction of the 103 that was internally new with the redesign of the twin cam that changed the displacement from 88/95 cid to 96/103 cid also considering the things you already mentioned like colored matched frame and custom graphic paint with the DA finish I personally thought was under used. I really enjoyed the look back. Thx Wally
I believe I would have put that same list together
Thanks for keeping it real!!
🛑🛑 Great Video Matt.
The video was spot on. 👍
I disagree with you #1 pick, but everything is individually subjective. 💯
I think a bike that was lost from the “best list” was the 2001 FXDWG2 Switchblade.
That bike took the CVO bikes to a new level of detail and performance.
Thanks Matt👍
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!!!
Glad you agree with my choices. Those bikes are amazing.
Nice Matt, love my 18 CVO street glide Gunship gray, not happy they used this color on other bikes 😮
Just found your channel, subbed. I have a Roadster along with 2 117 big twins. Really like the Roadster, fun, simple, cheap. Good content.
OOOOF .. that springer .. 🔥
I LOVE a springer front end
My dream bike would be the sprinter classic.
I think it was in earlier 2000s
Was a basically a heritage softail with a springer front end. Not the heritage springer BUT that was a killer bike too
Nice video, I was shocked to see 👀 the Gunship Grey 2018 CVO which i have. They have continued the paint scheme for 2022 and now they're going to be so plentiful that they'll be just like the plentiful Black you see a lot of.
Great list, some I’d never seen before, and to top it off I have a 2019 cvo in red pepper, bonus!
Thanks for the great content Matt!
Great video Matt. I learned a few things.
Awesome video man. Glad to see my 09 cvo roadglide in the top 3❤ i love my silver stardust over titanium dust. Paint. Surprised to hear thats the most sought after combo. ive always loved my dads electric orange over vivid combination more that he had before it was wrecked.. But cool video an ride safe.
I totally enjoyed the way you put it all together. I learned a lot about the Harley-Davidson CVO 's past. How about the Trikes? What number do they come in? Well....I guess they don't. Great job Matt!
Hey Daniel. The trikes are beautiful machines. But I just had room for 10
Great information! Thank you.👍🏼😎
Another perfect video. But would really like to see the footage from the factory 47 grand opening run.
Some good information MATT THANKS!.😎✌
Gotta believe that Harley Davidson would hire you to lead their design department or their marketing department. Your work has been the main reason that I have purchased the 2020 billiard red Road Glide Limited, the 2021 Road Glide CVO and the 2022 Pan America motorcycles. One criticism is that I had to install Legends springs and shocks on the CVO because they were terrible. Please keep up the great work because your VLOG is both entertaining and totally informative.
I just finished watching your top ten,I think it was a great video an I had no problem with your likes or dislikes this still is the good old USA. I do have a 2007 CVO FLHTCUSE2, We really enjoy this bike bought it used ,3 years ago an compaired to my older HDs it is very nice,has the leather tour pack an the paint job I get all kinds of compliments, lm from Ohio an have not come across another one like it yet,which that's ok, nice to have something different, is it true 07 was first yr for the 110 in the ultra, I've had some guys tell me that I don't know.Ive watch alot of your videos an really enjoyed them so keep up the good job You do an enjoy the ride,,I'm 75 an still do!!
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.
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.
I have one too. The 2011 Convertible. F Him he don't know what he's Talking about. I've had so many Bikes and I've never gotten as many Compliments I mean People follow me to see it or I come out of somewhere they are all in Awe. And rides Excellent and will Fly I love the sound too and the Pops Gearing Down I have the Gold looking one made like 374 of them. I'd like to meet this dude Face to Face. And.... Lol well you know if you know. Dudes a Idiot!
Agreed. I own a blue flstse2 , I put western bars on it with V/H long shots. Compliments everywhere I go, I don't ride with the screen for same reason. The bike suits me fine.
You are spot on!!! The 2018 CVO Road Glide in the gunship color is why I purchased my Road Glide CVO
How do you feel about the 22 lineup saturation of the gunship grey?
there are a lot of great bikes in this top 10 list but for me the #1 was the 2010 Ultra Limited , the combination of blacked out and that cool flame paint really made me drool over the magazine photos . i've never seen one in person , but if i ever have the money i'll go looking for one i still like it that much .
Glad to know other people appreciate that rare bike
My husband owns one of those that he'll probably never get rid of.
I like the fact that Matt picked the 2009 CVO Glide as on of his favorites. I have one in silver but now have a SS124 motor in it, rides great. I wish I could afford a 2018 CVO glide but in the blue/silver two tone with the #1 on the tank.
I had the pleasure to use one exactly like the one you mentioned for a whole week. It was my compadre’s bike. He sold it a year later and made a considerable profit!
Blue an silver was a 2019
Interesting how many Road Glides made your best list. Someone in our HOG chapter had one of the 2000 SE Road Glides in the orange and black colors. I thought it was a great bike and I often wonder if it survived and where it is now. Im glad it made your list. I rarely see any FXR bikes anymore. I’ll keep an eye out for the CVO ones. That was a fun watch. Thanks for the great content.
well the Road Glide has been around for awhile and there have been several CVOs and its a rad bike!. Thanks for watching
Hi Matt this video was awesome a friend of mine has the 2014 deluxe and I thought it's not that bad so what I did was sent him that section of video and now I look at even more and yeah it is abit slapped together in an ugly way. Thanks brother always enjoy your videos.
Great job Matt as always and your description of unicorn buyers for the worst CVO bike ever were hysterical. Thank again for giving the low down in the best and worst.
\\\
That's some decent footage on your video. Very well put together sir.
Number ten has been my number one since it was released. Have always wanted to add one to the garage. The 2017 Pro street breakout in the black and red is my next purchase this summer, loved it since the first time I saw it raised up on a platform at out local Harley dealer showroom.
¡Uno de los mejores videos de CVO que he visto nunca!
Felicidades por el documental. Ha sido un placer verlo.
Thanks Matt for all you do for us ...
I completely agree but would have to up your number 1 choice to the 2022 Steel Blue CVO Road Glide with scorched chrome!
I traded 2017 street bob for the 2013 cvo breakout silver and black . I like the way it handles on mountain curves , I push the counter steering a bit harder but it holds the line I want to run. I have a more comfortable feeling than I had with 2009 roadking on same type of curves. I still have the original hog magazine that featured the breakout and loved the look and chrome, still do. I won’t take a test ride on the new softails so as not to break my bubble. I enjoy your posts and your honest take on the different models.
Great picks.
I also have the 2018 CVO RoadGlide in Lava Orange / Grey.
By far the best bike l have ridden.
All that ride say the same.
Just the electrical let me down early days , reg and head light.
Do like the 2008 CVO Springer.
Top job keep the great work.
First, great video! You seriously took me down nostalgia lane (both good and bad!) I do think that an honorable mention on the worst side should be the 2003 Screamin Eagle Road King. Mechanically it was OK, but that tribal/tiger paint scheme was way too much to take! I also agree that the 2018 model year set the tone for many good things that have followed for touring models and beyond. Being totally subjective and with unabashed bias towards Road Glides, I do feel that many of these improvements are specific to those models (i.e., unique beautiful color options and schemes, introduction of the fairing spoiler, etc.) At the end of the day, it's all good I guess. But everyone knows FXR's rule! :)
Haha thanks for the comment. Always good to hear other people's side of things.
I owned a 2003 RK CVO. Absolutely loved everything about that bike except the paint. My wife hated the color and friends joked about it always. I own a 2019 RG Special now. Love it.
Great list! I wonder if you have a list of should have, could have, would have been great CVO’s. I can start that list with the 2020 Heritage 114 Tahitian teal. If they gave it dual front disk brakes, it would have been perfect. The paint job looks CVO amazing!
Awesome review. Thanks
Awesome video, Matt. 21:43 had me dying 🤣
Good video. You came sooooo close. You didn't mention the MOST BEAUTIFUL bike ever built. I'm talkin' about the 2014 CVO Breakout in blue. Second is 14 CVO Breakout in orange. I have one of each but the blue is my favorite.
I remember the very first Screaming Eagle Road Glide I saw, your #9. I was in a dealership in Washington, Pa. just south of Pittsburgh. It knocked my socks off and was selling for 25K !
As for the worst , there were several SE Ultras that had leather covered tour packs that were hideous too
Good job Matt . You were spot on with calling it right on this one . The bad ones were bad bad .
Haha thank you!
