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
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 
Thats incorrect. My 19 CVO RG came with heated grips. My 23 CVO RG has heated grips, so does the 24.

Thats why I was surprised to see no heated grips on the CVO ST. When I didnt see the dial or the side button I guess they use now for low, medium, high, I mentioned it to the sales guy and he said "Oh yeah, you control them from the infotainment screen". I laughed out loud and asked him where the control was on the grips to change the settings and then he realized it didnt have heated grips.

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.

The 23 and 24 CVO's have heated grips. They do not have a dial on Handle bar. They have a very inconspicuous push button at end of Handle bar. Press once, is 3 or high, twice is 2 or medium, three times is 1 or low, four push is off. They also be controlled from the infotainment screen. When I first got my bike was thought it was not that I had to do it from infotainment, took a day to realize button on end of left grip. Interesting they didn't put heated grips on it.

I've seen HD print a lot more erroneous info than he has over the years...

I was thinking the VVT had no forced induction and was normally aspirated?

Was looking at the Stats for the 121 HO. Noticed it has a different transmission gear ratio than the VVT 121. Wouldnt think it would be a different transmission, Maybe just a rear sprocket change. Interesting

That's weird because my 2019 CVO RG FLTRXSE did not come with heated grips.
As far as the RG CVO ST goes I am afraid to go the the dealer as I would have a hard time leaving without buying one.
