CVO variety

Unfortunately my crystal ball is busted, But I wonder why Harley doesn’t expand its CVO line to other models as in the past? I mean last year would’ve been the perfect time to do a CVO fatboy to coincide with its 30th anniversary. And I’d love so see a CVO Road King. Sure keep the popular models every year limited to 3 or 4 but 1 extra per year rotating thru the line would be great. Just my humble opinion...

Profit? Maybe they don’t sell as well as other models.

CVO Fatboy would be right around 29K. I think with the love for baggers now, most would spend 28K on a Street Glide Special or Road Glide special. I could be wrong, but past 10 years shows CVO Models other than the Limited and RG and SG are harder to sell, take longer to move off the floor.

Dave nailed it, I think. If I was in the market, and I do love the Road King, for the price I would opt for a proper bagger.

I have seen pics of the CVO RKs and they look great. I would love to have one but just too much money.

The dealer I go to here in Ga doesn’t keep a CVO in stock for long I guess it’s the market in certain areas

Dealer I use, CVO Road Glide, Street Glides and Limiteds sell before they hit the floor for the first 6 months of the model year.

CVO Soft tails or Dyna's would be on floor for a bit. CVO Kings also

agreed that a 30th CVO fat boy would have been pretty cool, and would have done well...that decision was likely made a while back and maybe at the time, they were thinking, this beast (HD) is hemorrhaging cash, we need to cut offerings, not add more
