After 120 years of business, Harley-Davidson has figured out exactly what buttons to push within its fan base. The Badge-and-Sheild brand’s CVO lineup is nothing short of a love letter to the American V-twin touring faithful, used as the vessel to showcase H-D’s latest technologies, exclusive paint finishes, and new powertrains. This year, the 2023 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide and CVO Street Glide are taking that spirit and running with it, thanks to updates across the board.
What’s new for the 2023 CVO range? Nearly everything. The only piece left untouched is the frame itself, allowing us to pick through the dashing new infotainment system and updated Milwaukee-Eight engine as we absorb what stands as a look into Harley-Davidson’s stylistic future.
With Midwestern plains at our sides and long stretches of open highway ahead, H-D staffers let us loose on the new CVO Road Glide from its home base in Milwaukee, getting a taste of what the Grand American Touring experience is all about.
