waaaay too premature of an assumption .. VVT may be new to HD production engines but not new tech .. I imagine VVT being more efficient, will be more EPA compliant and therefore HD may be required "go the VVT route" of advancing and applying it to increased performance

Anyone heard what the track and track plus modes on the CVO ST do above and beyond the sport mode on the VVT CVO models?
Maybe one is a straight line launch control setting for 1/4 mile stuff?

What makes it a CVO ST? Yes, it's an ST, but a CVO?. CVO's have all the goodies, heated grips, locking saddlebags, upgrading mirrors and footboards, 4 speaker sound system, etc. Only thing I see that makes these CVO ST's a CVO, is the price.

yeah, it's not your typical CVO but it has the most powerful motor, lighter, some carbon components, remote piggy back adjustable shocks, braided cables, misc upscale trinkets and $h!t & stuff and at least a few thousand $ less than the other CVOs .. it's bad@$$ but not for my old @$$ anymore

Good point. Carbon fiber makes it even more of an ST. Okay, it's half a CVO .... it's a C\ ST.

I saw a white one at my local dealer today. All I can say is it is beautiful…way better than the website. I am not even a Road Glide guy and this bike is amazing. I didn’t really like the new body style but this one has converted me. It looks custom but yet all business….just has the right amount of attention to detail but has a performance look that is unmistakable.

There are some reviews on Youtube of riding this model
watch on TV and prepare to drool. If they had offered this in the Streetglide, I would be tempted
.assuming they corrected the instability problem and opened up the top speed again. The review I watched, this guy is hot rodding and you can see the roll on power.
In believe that soon most all big twins will be VVT. Notice the new Road Glide and new Street Glide and ST have the VVT timing cover? VVT is cable of making more power than just a normally aspirated engine.
Love my VVT bikes, the PAS and the 23 CVO.

Xenia Harley has the white ST in stock at MSRP if anyone is looking. Great dealership with knowledgeable people and riders. I saw it yesterday while there. They also had a lot of leftover 2023s sitting around, including a Fast Johnie Street Glide.

[QUOTE=FLSTFI I also believe a street glide CVO ST would have been offered.[/QUOTE]
perhaps but I'm of the mindset the RG was a one off King of The Baggers inspired model which I think are all only Road Glide fairing models..but who knows ..you could very well be right though, it would be dumb to build an expensive race inspired bike that isn't considered safe at triple digit mph
