2012 Harley Davidson CVO Models Review
CVO bikes start OE-model Harley. Dedicated staff then works on the table to expand Harley goodies P & A Division (parts and accessories), and details unique to the CVO line for developing the implementation of the factory stock Harleys works of art of good taste.

Jeff Smith, director of the CVO team, said at the annual meeting of Harley dealers is common for dealers to sell a motorcycle in front CVO CVO phone use within minutes of the new models are unveiled. Stubborn love these damn the torpedoes sign CVO dollar terms these turnkey custom Harley.
Depending on the model, easily Crest CVO Cruiser $ 32,000. But customers CVO happy with what otherwise would vomit a lot of riders bite disbelief American Pilsner, another CVO price was revealed. However, an expert Harley CVO owner may be wiser than their spendy ways to show other hidden prices CVO is an amazing value when it comes to custom-style bike.
For example, a 2012 Street Glide Standard model sold for $ 19,499, and now with the Twin Cam 103. 2012 CVO Road Glide, powered by a Screamin Eagle Twin Cam 110, retails for $ 32.699 - $ 13.200 higher than the standard SG. Thirteen dollars is a small piece of action, but to keep minutes of Eagle Screamin Harley-110 engine upgrade is sold at about $ 5,200, and the color of the standard update "Glide Harley-HD1 customization is another $ 5,300 .
So now we have to spend $ 10,500 just to start turning into something of vanilla SG CVO. But remember that the paint is for CVO CVO, and is done mainly by hand, so that its color-coded costumes would be easy to push over $ 5,300.
Factor in the system CVO Street Glide with six premium speakers very, chrome wheels up-spec brake rotors with matching style, custom-style seats with unique stitching, while a set of components elegant accents chrome, standard ABS, security system with alarm and CVO is an additional $ 13Gs began to conduct a similar case, if youre hot for a Harley plateau.
2012 CVO: Only a few changes, but still mild Stuff
In 2012 CVO line remains of four models, a Glide Street, Road Glide Custom, Ultra Classic Electra Glide and Softail Convertible (which will be discussed in more detail at a later date).
The Road Glide Custom is the only "new" model, so to speak, like last year was also a CVO Road Glide in the barn, but as an ultra luxury has a Tour-Pak, a 16-inch windshield and equipment established long-distance travel. Be sure to read our full review of the 2011 CVO Ultra RG.
This year, the RG custom, but still CVO, best describes my touring cruiser. Box frame is gone, the windshield is a short, dark color, there is now a performance-oriented high-flow air filter, and the trio of subtle combinations of colors - black and white combo with a very hard look - to take borrow a custom look, without looking too flashy.
2012 Harley-Davidson CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide $ 37,249
If Harley has a new flagship model, the CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide.
With one of the drivers and passengers more comfortable perches in the industry, generous storage capacity, an impressive sound system to keep you company for one thousand million, heated seats and handles, polished chrome and paint fat, this is the sled you CVO If you want a Harley you are looking for premium to get from one side of the country, and points in between.
The most notable addition of "for 2012 CVO Lectra is a Road Tech Zumo 660 GPS from Garmin. This is a motorcycle to use GPS with a touch screen that accepts orders for gloved hands - a key element for motorcyclists.
It is also useful audio controls GPS "(" Turn left in 500 meters. ") Shall be transmitted by the thunderous boom Electra Glide! Speaker audio system this year includes four speakers 5, 25 inches and BOOM ! Under Ports Booster in the lining of the Tour-Pak lower body for deep bass. Booster ports use the trunk as a subwoofer box, thus avoiding the money costs of space and a real subwoofer.
The zūmo 660 has a storage capacity of 4 GB for MP3 files, and the Player Menu is navigable through the switching Glide mounted audio drivers that work also awarded Harmon / Kardon audio system SiriusXM loan. But if the zūmo 4 GB of music storage is not enough, the slide comes with an 8 GB iPod nano, which is also used drivers via radio.
The three new color combinations this year proposed Wicked Stardust Silver with Sapphire & Light Big City Graphics, Lemon & Diamond Dust Crystal with Lights Big City Graphics, Electric and Orange & Black with Diamond Lights Big City Graphics (its better for the color orange for this one!).
As big as a bite of these colors, Harley staff ensured that CVO owners have an incredible ability to perfectly recite the name of the color of your bike.
This American-made full load of luxo-tourer is all given their alleged run maneuverable weight around 900 pounds. However, confidence and finesse are needed to accelerate the pace of progress, in the disposal of his way in a parking lot looking for a space or to make a tight turning radius. Runners are very small, low-heart or inexperienced need not apply.
Screamin Eagle Twin Cam 110 V distributed to many governments the power to most of the CVO, and the couple always seems to be the tap. Shooting in our 2009 Touring Deluxe, this platform test engine spun the drum to the beat of 75 hp at 5,100 rpm and 88 lb.-ft. at 3,800 rpm. These figures are sportbikers stream of emotion, but the Ultra feels surprisingly strong at low revs, and enough power is deployed to advance the loan to the Slug Cager on the road.
Even if the gas-by-wire throttle and the EFI system works best when there is so much brute force to break up the gas a big cube engine, the gas tends to feel a stretch, sometimes at low speeds, especially now inactive. Masks Ultra Classic weighs just this feeling, while it is slightly more evident Street Glide and Road Glide. Harley-worker hit the nail on the head when he suggests that the three large double cylinder engines Cam (96, 103 and 110), 103, probably offers the best blend of power grew by 96 with a powerful medium than Grunty 110-inches.
2012 Harley-Davidson Street Glide CVO $ 32.699
Kevin and I love the Street Glide Harley best of all is the ideal blend of maneuverability, comfort, wind protection, design and strength of a steady stream of their rubber mounted on a 96-cubic-inch single. And we know that we have the right to collective assessment Since this is a model Motor Company sells more than anything else.
Desirability of this bike is a dream CVO version of SG, as does the 3500 Harley CVO Road 2012-100 will slip more than the Ultra Classic Electra Glide - and only $ 200 more than in last years model.
Now he is saying something
SG 2012 is twice the chrome goodies or a retina-burning goals, but does not require additional pumping power of music in the form of two new 5x7-inch seat cover, integrated speakers that enhance the CVO SG Speaker to calculate a total of eight, two more than last year. Push the left side of the saddle is a new 200-watt amplifier, which in reality things do not double this year, when the entire system of power 200-400 watts. This bike is crazy-loud boom box on wheels powered by a Screamin Eagle!
The GS always rolls back wheel agitator (19 inches front 18 inches rear) and front rotors, but this year the taste Chrome Mirror. Mirrors also are treated chrome, this year, and the subtle but clever bar and the protective emblem of the console is now illuminated in red when the machine is turned on - the trick is not essential, but very future.
Tuckered to walk towards the beer tent, beer tent at events?
So enjoy your-ass of a new two-piece seat with low profile prints custom style and "large animals" leather inserts. The passenger seat can be removed, as is the folder for the pilot.
This "Glide provides a rare complaints seriously points us to believe, however, reduces vibration at highway speeds I would have preferred a screen 7.0-inch shorter than the blade is standard on this bike.
Like many women who suffer from painful high-heeled shoes or painful wax treatments for the love of fashion, so is the victim of its curb appeal SG. A style element common to all the CVO models are "slammed" look. This constituency is integrated into low profile appearance CVO, but it comes at the expense of the race of the rear suspension limited - just a meager 2.0 inches of travel. Bad effects of cutting the suspension is relatively transparent as well-maintained road surfaces the ride quality is average at worst. However, your first encounter with a cluster of patchwork pothole or pool without an expansion to serve as a reminder of the offensive line narrow suspension movement when your Hiney be bucked from the saddle of a few centimeters or the impact of shock sent directly to the lower back.
Available colors are Red and Typhoon Maroon with graphics ruby Phantom of the flame, hot citrus Gunstock with the old Ghost Flame Graphics and Dark Slate and Black Diamond with ghost flame graphics.
2012 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Custom $ 30,699
In a trim level or another, the Road Glide is often in the range CVO.
When CVO staff pulled the cover with personalized RG White Gold Pearl and Black with graphics Starfire real smoke, my eyes widened and I was wide awake - the drug-mine the effect on the large slice of cake that I I ate earlier, had carried on a moment. When I saw this bike I knew it was not just the most beautiful of CVO in 2012, but perhaps one of the most attractive mass-produced cruisers had seen in a long time.
Custom chrome parts of RG is unusually low compared with most of the CVOs. Instead, a good amount of black accents, tie in the dark, quiet tones of the three color combinations available. The engine cover is glossy black while the cylinders also have a full treatment of the black finish.
Mirrors, brake and clutch master cylinders, and even the advice of silent, black. Agitator wheels (19 inches front 18 inches rear) Chrome contrast, are only partially polished and Screamin Eagle air intake vent cover heavy clean air is finished in black fluid. 1.0-inch diameter handlebar internal wiring in one piece is covered with black dust - a smart choice of colors of the bar, allowing your eyes look, without effort, without interruption through the motorcycle profile.
In a few minutes to see this dark theme CVO Road Glide, I thought, "possible? CVO Custom Dark?"
My suspicions of this possibility was awakened when I heard that there is no impediment badges and shields, and instead saw a simple chrome skull on the side of the fuel tank and the dead at the top of the structure mounted on the RG fairing.
The RG receives a full set of Harman / Kardon audio system with a total of six speakers in the dashboard and 100 watts per channel music pumping power. Like the rest of the 2012 CVO line, the practice is equipped with an 8 GB nano.
Once you are settled in the saddle in two parts (the passenger is removable) with color-matched cover and sewing, according to the paint scheme of the bike, youll notice two things: the large frame-mounted fairing looks like a succession dress right out front, and protection against the wind pretty well thanks to the windshield wind aerodynamic splitter, creating a less turbulent air pocket from the Street Glide.
Some runners prefer the frame mounted fairing, and the wind is transferred to shake the image instead of the handlebar, and feel a little lighter steering effort, because you are not holding the weight of the dome of the handlebar.
All, of course, but the equalization my tastes RG material creates a style perspective to the saddle, theres a lot of weight off the front and the illusion of a front-end is much longer than it reality. And visually heavy, I think. I prefer Street Glide fairing bar attached to a lower profile, and because I feel I can better handle the management of the wheel at low speeds, while more weight is carried on the handlebars.
Personal preference is what it boils down to, because the Road Glide handles well, just different from SG. It also has an extra inch of travel of the rear suspension.
Regardless of my choice of style of the tracks, there is no doubt in my mind - the 2012 Road Glide Custom is the viewer of the group. In addition to white and cobalt blue candy Twilight graphics and real smoke and Vivid Black Maple graphics real metal schemes are available smoke paint. Harley expects the 2000 model CVO 2012.
2012 Harley-Davidson CVO Softail Convertible $ 29,699
This year, the model is the third year of the convertibility range CVO Softail. When he appeared in 2010, we discovered how intelligent and practical Harley could get. Within minutes, this bike can transform deprived cruising bike stylin on tourism destination through the quick release windshield, saddlebags and passenger backrest with a passenger - a two-wheeler Jekyll Hyde n.
After hearing the views of Harley customers decided to increase the height of the windshield is approximately 1.0 inches and a width of 2.0 inches, the addition of adjustable ventilation and lower wind deflectors. According to the calculations of fluid dynamics test Harley, the company reported the new larger screen and larger removed a significant amount of wind pressure on the pilots head and reduced turbulence in the cabin.
CVO in culture, this is the only Softail with the cruise control and the gas-by-wire. ABS is standard on all CVOs, and great care to create a separate front and rear ABS modulators of the convertible bond to maintain a clean custom-style bike with front of the unit neatly hidden out of sight behind the top cover fork.
Three color options are available this year: Crimson Red Sunglow Scarlet Crystal Graphics, Abyss Blue with graphics Catacombs, and Pewter satin Catacomb Graphics saddle leather motorcycle saddlebags come in a premium leather brown distressed. Give brown leather in a few years the value of wear, and it should develop a nice patina adding character.
