Probably not, would just get to expensive for most people in the sportster market

Anything is possible with the MoCo but my guess is that's not going to happen anytime in near future. The direction the MoCo is taking the Sportster is down the "black" road and that seems to be a pretty popular market right now on these bikes.

Sportsters have a loyal following, but I don't know how many would be willing to pay the possible $15,000+ for a CVO model.

That would be cool if they came out with a CVO.

They should put 3 or 4 together , put them in the Sportster line up online site only . As custom order from dealer only , and they would truly be limited bikes. This would get people thinking about all the up grade / mods they wouldn't have to do for the 3 or 4 thousand dollars !

Build it yourself. Better, cheaper, and it would not be a "cookie cutter".

Agree with OFG, except it would probably be closer to $20,000 than $15,000. I wouldn't pay that for a Sporty.

Maybe the can come out with a Screamin Eagle Sportster. Then everyone wouldn't have to do the stage one themselves. Is the MOCO scared to let the Sportster breath or what?
