LEAKED – HARLEY-DAVIDSON CVO MODELS 2023
There is new information about the 2023 Harley-Davidson CVO models
The possible Harley-Davidson CVO models Road Glide CVO and Street Glide CVO have already appeared on the web this month. The pictures make a real impression, but what is somewhat surprising is that the pictures were apparently leaked directly from the production facility at the Harley-Davidson factory in York, Pennsylvania, USA.
When I think about what an alarm was at Harley-Davidson when I found Low Rider S 117 It is assumed that they were employees from an external service company who actually had no business in this area of production. This can sometimes be expensive; external companies usually sign a confidentiality clause.
New 121cui V2 engine and a new multifunctional instrument display
First there were only the two models with the 121 cui engine TheFastLaneGarage proper_baggers .
New LED lighting technology and one of the highlights will be the new BoomBox, or whatever you call it, because its appearance looks like a new and multifunctional instrument display. Harley-Davidson will certainly take the following approach and integrate the tried and tested speedometer displays into the new and huge screen.
The question will be what happens to the Rockford Fosgate Stage I Power system. The system would then have to work together with the new command center. They don't want it to deteriorate, the system already makes a lot of sound. The touring screen could be electrically adjustable, but it doesn't really look finished in the photos.
New 121cui V2 engine with variable valve timing
The 121 cui engine will almost certainly have variable valve timing, the rumor has been around for a long time. Thanks to variable valve control, I expect a new and outstanding performance in the upper speeds compared to the 117cui. Although I think the 117cui is really strong, it's well tuned and a lot of fun, more displacement wouldn't be absolutely necessary, with just under 2 liters you're actually doing well. A very good sign is that Harley-Davidson is further developing the now highly rated Milwaukee-Eight engine.
Will the CVO models get a new chassis in 2023?
If I now put two and two together and see the new upside down fork in the photos, the large brake discs where Brembo will do its work, there may be a surprise in the entire chassis. That would of course be a blast if they finally stepped up their game here. Why not install a Nivomat, like Wilbers successfully demonstrated.
CVO Limited is scheduled to be there again in 2023.
CVO Limited , which in 2022 is considered set , but some are expected again this year. My price forecast for the Street and Road Glide models is around €49,950. If they bring a completely new design, plus the refreshed engine, new chassis, new multifunctional instrument display, then my guess is definitely not far off. The 2022 CVO models were available from €44,995, plus construction fee, etc. The other side is, with all these innovations, it is certainly easier to buy if you get one of them. The CVO models are not expected in large numbers this year, which is nothing unusual.
When will Harley-Davidson introduce the CVO (Custom Vehicle Operations) models?
And when will Harley-Davidson present Harley-Davidson CVO models Presumably it will work out so that they will bring down the curtain on the 120th Anniversary Party in Milwaukee. I can well imagine that they will lead the parade with the CVO and the 120th Anniversary models, it couldn't be easier to send pictures around the world.
In Germany I wouldn't expect them before July/August. Another interesting question is whether it says “Made in USA” or “Made in Thailand”. It can no longer be ruled out that the capacities will sometimes be distributed between both countries.
If you ask a mechanic now, you'll hear that they do very good and precise work in Thailand, but it's more about the image and whether it bothers you if the CVO doesn't come from the USA. Nowadays it probably doesn't matter anyway when you see where all the parts are delivered from. That's what a global market brings with it and if another big steamer gets stuck in the Suez Canal, nobody in either country will put together a Harley-Davidson anymore.
