600km across the country on the Harley-Davidson Street Glide CVO

On Monday I did a 600km tour from Montabaur to Plön in one go with the Harley-Davidson Street Glide CVO made. Usually more used to the old Evo from the 80s, it's tempting to ride a Harley that is one of the best that the Harley forge in Milwaukee has to offer. One thing that makes no sense at all is to start riding an old Evo with a new one. Harley-Davidson Street Glide CVO to compare, while after 400km with the Harley-Davidson Evo I worked really hard physically, you can tell on the Harley-Davidson Street Glide in my bones, almost nothing from the tour, but that's exactly what it's built for!

It's great for cruising on country roads, or like me, you can drive 600 km on the highway in 8 hours, I drove 2/3 of it at about 130 km/h, which is totally relaxed, cruise control on and cruise. The rest can be done at a faster pace, it can do that well too, it pulls powerfully right up to the top, under certain circumstances it can rock up, which will surprise an inexperienced driver, what exactly this is connected with will still have to be found out. It can be due to the seating position, or the suspension setting, as well as tire pressure, etc., I've only had this happen twice, once was due to a bad transverse joint on the highway and the second time the wind, it just happens.

I consumed 5.8 liters on the highway and overland with a confident driving style. The tank holds 22.7 liters, five of which are reserve, which is perfectly tuned, as soon as the reserve lamp lights up, the navigation system also switches on and gives recommendations with the nearest petrol stations, so it is possible to drive to your usual petrol station brand, which is nicely shown in the display. It is possible to easily drive 270 km without a break or refueling stop, but then you will get thirsty at some point or the smoker will be drawn to the next parking lot for a smoke, so everything fits. The bike is not only fun on the highway, it is a real all-rounder, even when moving 400 kilos, the tight turning circle is helpful when maneuvering and it feels just as much at home on country roads.

A great tour with the bike, more info will follow, I will soon post a video and focus a little more on the Technology enter.
