Default Joining “The Center Cooled Club”

I’m excited to share that after 25 years of waiting, I finally got my first CVO and joined the “Center Cooled Club” with the new 2024 Road Glide and CVO|ST. These new 2024 models are a significant upgrade from my previous 2021 RGS, and I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of reviews highlighting their benefits.

That said, three standout features for me are the power and torque of the 121ci engine, the inverted front forks and rear suspension reservoirs, and the top-notch Brembo brakes—these really make the 2024 CVO|ST shine.
Thank you to all that provided reviews of the 2024 Road & Street Glides.

Congrats! That thing must be a blast to ride. The 117 feels great. I am sure the CVO is night and day difference

The cooling system on the new 24 touring bikes has been named by the Moco as "Center Cooled"...the radiator is in a central location, down low...

OK, pretty lame for such a "renvented" harely. I was thinking most guys refer to them as Gen2 M8's.

Congrats on the new bike. Let me clarify what I meant in my 1st post before I had my morning coffee.
The new bike is not lame, of all the new models in 24 that CVO road glide st is the outstanding one.
I was just thinking referring it as center cooled just is not cool enough.
