I have not been on the forum very much.

Does anyone know if Harley will be making 2023 CVO's? I know they were generally released in late August.

Jan/Feb timeframe. The August thing has been over for a few years.

I couldn't find anything online so I stopped in my local dealership a week or so ago and they said January. It'll be Harleys 120th anniversary. Hopefully they do something worthy.

For what it’s worth the MoCo made big changes the following year after a anniversary year
I.e ‘03 100th…..’04 SEEG intro….’08 105th….’09 new touring frame….’13 110th….’14 Rushmore intro

But, there’s new vision at the helm today, so we riders can only hope, anticipate that the bean counters keep the MoCo heritage that Willie G breathed life into this great company

Modern Frame and suspension would be nice for the touring line.  Current frame is very outdated.

It was at Harley's 100th Anniversary that I actually laid eyes on the 04 SEEG.  I had actually placed my order with the dealership a couple of weeks prior to that as they had the literature and brochures.  I actually got it in Nov. 03.

Absolutely.    Harley-Davidson has a long way to catch competitors is these areas and horsepower.

I have always said that for an aging market with riders who have arthritis, replaced/repaired knees, hips, backs and shoulders you would think Harley would build bikes with DCTs, reverse and motorized windscreens.

Don't get me wrong, I love my CVO and am keeping it.  But the power, comfort and amenities that come on my Gold Wing keeps the CVO parked most of the time.

My metro Milwaukee dealer dropped a hint that the ‘23 CVO RG
Will have a mono shock frame,  the Rev max powertrain 🤷🏻‍♂️ & be a mid year intro before the 120th party in Milwaukee
Shall be interesting to follow

RevMax is a great engine and would require a different tune.  Add a mono shock frame it sure would be a step in the right direction. 

Love my 19 CVO, but the engine and suspension on my Pan America is light years ahead of it.

I like this rumor, they need a new roadrace platform to build upon.     

I need a new bike too 

[SHRADER]

Rumors from dealerships are usually about as accurate as your local palm reader. They generally find out stuff about CVO's days or hours before the public does. Harley generally does not share info about upcoming production outside the company and then it is only on a need to know basis, and only potential suppliers fall into the category.

Dave, like you I dumped a bunch of $$$ into my 2019 limited to get the performance and ride to my liking and riding style.
Harley could have done this years ago but IMO they ran “old technology “ as long as they could to milk the last dollar of profit until the competition took some of their market.

I think riders are now demanding a better bike, not just new paint. Look at rear shocks, same basic shock from 1984? How many BMW riders Change shocks at purchase?

I friend of mine worked in R&D in the 80’s and was so excited about 4valve heads, OHC, many ideas and testing that never made it past the accounting department.

I’m on a road trip into the second week. Loaded to the gills. BSR along. We are comfy, hit rain, hail, snow, winds mountain roads, long stretches of 2 lane, cruise at 75-85 when we can, no problem passing a line of cars (thanks Suburban Speed). Engine running very nice. Grudge box overdrive is great.

I’m thinking Harley will likely put the 131 into the lineup if they get CA approval and MORE fancy paint for the diehards. The new engine platform will SLOWLY emerge sometime in the future.
No matter what Harley comes out with, I’m on my last Harley.

JMHO and wish list.

Since CVO's originally became available I have never heard of a dealer "We Heard" being true. NEVER. Not from the GM or a uniformed salesman. Nor on this site.

[Twolanerider]

This is the first year that I'm so thoroughly disinterested I don't even care about the potential CVO Servicar....
