Then in the next paragraph they splooge all over themselves ranting and raving about how the CVO Street Glide test bike was the "best handling and(most)powerful H-D touring bike I've ever ridden....With throttle only the front wheel can be lifted off the ground."
Without doing any digging, I'm thinking these 110" CVO's dyno about 85 hp and 108-110 torque off the floor if they're lucky.
I would have to see air under that front wheel with my own eyes to believe that claim....how about you?
If a 2010 CVO 110 had 85 hp and 108-110 ft/lbs off the showroom floor, I would be shocked.

My 2010 SE Ultra has the exact same motor and my engine in stock form had 77hp and 100 ft/lbs on the dyno.
