It looks custom but yet all business….just has the right amount of attention to detail but has a performance look that is unmistakable.

I like some things but others are complete deal breakers. Like the motor, wheels, brakes, bars. Dislike carbon fiber (feels like cheap plastic), huge air intake, very small footboards, no heated grips, showa rear shocks no where like the ohlins Harley sells, very difficult to convert this bike to 2 up riding, front fender.

I don’t doubt they will sell, specially being $2k cheaper than other cvo’s.

we interrupt this post with this late breaking news development..it wasn't designed to be intended for all that ! but thankfully, as always, they make other models that are ... but I hear what you are saying as I processed all the same thoughts..really shouldn't even be in the Touring lineup, especially with peak torque at 4000 rpms which is about 1000 rpms higher than the other models which are more useful for solo and two up touring

RoadGlide and StreetGlide CVOs do not come with heated grips.

The parts catalog indicates the grips are heated.

Saw a black RG CVO ST it's very nice. Totally focused on performance and style. Heated grips , locking bags being an exception, and the other items usually found on CVOs are much easier and cheaper to add than all the performance items on the ST.
It's marketed at a different group than the conventional CVO.
HD will be releasing a tour pak mounting system to go with the remote shocks.
