BRUTALLY HONEST Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST Test Ride 

What do you guys think of the new 2024 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST? Drop your thoughts and let us know!

I just bought one. Came off of a road king special. I absolutely love this bike. Only have 370 miles on it but enjoying every mile.

Agree with you. Be able to make the bike what you want of it. Base model and build it the way you want it. Less money. Prob more power. My only complaint is for taller riders you can't relocate that speedo. But I think they did a great job on the bike

We wanted to keep it light as possible. As shipped weight is 800 pounds. OK

Nice review keep up the good work Blockhead

Thanks for a great video 👍👍

Track.... lol

I bought it. I love it. I only wish that a lower spec ST version with this 121-HO motor (paired with the track mode) was available to everyone. It’s simply sublime. The execution completely exceeds expectation. It RIPS when you want that and it cruises nice-n-chill when that’s desire. The future is bright kids!

To all those thinking they need a $45+k 2024 to have a performance HD touring bike. You can get the same dyno numbers out of a 107 with $2-3k and more out of the 114. Never ridden a Harley that didn’t need something to “fit” my needs. Look forward to watching people unlock the potential of these bikes, but don’t sleep on a good deal that can embarrass a bike 2-3x’s the price, while being setup for you.

I finally got the black ‘24 CVO ST and it is a phenomenal motorcycle. The only change I’m making to it is a Khrome Werks Outlaw Eclipse 2 into 1, which is on a 3 week back order and the Screamin Eagle tuner. I also have a ‘23 RGS with a torque cam and a Khrome Werks Aggressor exhaust that doesn’t come close to the performance of my CVO ST. I rode it for the first time this past Saturday and passed a couple cars on a back road and this thing is a rocket in the higher rpm’s. It gets up to 120 quick and that’s the fastest it will go. Which btw is nothing for me! I’ve been a sport bike guy all my life and use to drag race every weekend. I’ve owned every generation Hayabusa, 4 GSXR-1000’s and a BMW S1000RR. My ‘22 Busa and ‘23 GSXR-1000 were on one of Moore Mafia’s recent videos being Dyno tuned after Brock’s Cams were installed in the Hayabusa. Now at 50 years old these Harley’s give me the comfort I need and this CVO ST is a good mix of style, comfort and performance. I enjoyed the video, subscribed and I’m looking forward to more content on your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Great episode! BLOCKHEAD, & it's nice to see a 2lanelife cameo..see you down the road! 👊

The fairing vent was always reducing buffeting when open, all the way back to the 2014s. The only reason they made it closable was that in very specific rainy conditions it might be better to close it. The side vents inside the fairing on the Road Glides used to be closable as well, but people were leaving them closed and completely defeating their purpose, so they took away the shudders. The fairing vent should be open 99.9% of the time.

I was not a fan of the new style of RG until I rode one, the infotainment system is WAY better than the previous generation.

Exceptional informative video on the CVO SG ST. Super thanks !

21:00 You can put your thumb underneath the button and pull towards yourself to activate the further side. For example, on the left, to work the horn, you can either press on the horn on the left or put your thumb underneath the signal side and lift it up. Eliminates the need for a reach to the far side

If I had the funds, I would pick up one of those CVO Road Glide ST's.

When Blockhead gets on the bike the bike gets lighter and the earth gets heavier.

Dude.. I’m so stoked for those other road glides builds! I’ve been patiently waiting for those ever since hearing about them. The burts barracuda bike is going to be insanity! And the tman 124 twin cam is going to be amazing and it’s got such a great story behind it too. I’m here for all of it!

Its a bad bike. Took delivery of mine last Friday and what a ride it is. People who have never ridden one have no clue of how special this bike is.

Blockhead @Harleydavidson should donate the bike to you. You’re more of an ambassador to Harley than some of the “celebrities” they’ve given bikes to.

Glad to hear you're getting a Roadglide. Can't wait to see it. I traded in my 2003 Roadglide for a 2024.

I have this bike - it’s amazing. Some comments after 1000 miles. First a testament to HD build quality - at initial oil change at 900 miles there was virtually no metal in any of the oils from Motor, Primary or Transmission. Minor issues observed were as follows: Seat cowl rubber tends to fold at the top where it hits the seat. HD replaced cowl but I think that problem will reoccur without a better solution. Composite oil pan has non-reusable square drive Plastic drain plugs. Both no doubt used to save weight. Oil pan is susceptible to breakage much more so than a metal pan - so whatever you do, don’t run over anything! Lastly, I notice noise (mechanical humming) on front brake when applied slowing down from 60 to 30 mph with moderate brake pressure. HD says that’s normal. Brakes work fine but the noise is disconcerting if you haven’t experienced it on other bikes. Other than those small Nits, HD hit the ball out of the park with this bike. It’s fast in stock form, handles better than any other stock bagger HD has ever made and the riding experience is exceptional. No question that the setup isn’t ideal for very long distance touring - the standard Touring models are better for that. But for what it is, it’s the very best Niche product HD has made in a long time.

Great review. I subscribed. Just rode across country to Cave Creek AZ, bike week from NJ, on a 2023 Road Glide Special, absolutely amazing trip.

I am 14 and this is the bike that just made me want a harley

I bet that bump in Louisiana was coming out of New Orleans huh? I've hit that and flew up off my seat as well 😯😂

I test rode a CVO st Saturday, and the front brakes were very noisy. None of the other bikes had that issue. It does handle like a much lighter bike.

I did the demo days in Savannah GA, both the CVO and RG limited got me hooked. The new bars on the road glide is perfect for me as is. I don’t mind the CVO bars though. I currently ride a 08 street glide that’s pretty closer to stock but still fun too

How far we've come to learn the best way to get your phone out while riding lol 😆

Trouble, nothing but trouble. I say 74 beers.

IMHO The CVOST is the holy Grail for the 24 model year!

The best in depth 2024 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST review on RU-vid.

The new little fairing cubby holes.. Much better than the ones like I got on mine where ya gotta hold It open. Do u need to say BOOP when pressing them ? If not I bet they don’t open Prob used the Cardo link to detect an acceptable BOOP sound

Amazing video ! And amazing bike . I never did ride a road glide, I’m a softail guy but I’m really thinking to go try a road glide and like you said question is : buying a standard road glide and improve it or buy this CVO St. A road glide will be perfect to ride with my 8 years old son in French and Switzerland roads.

Arguably one of their best bikes ever. When you consider for so long they were sort of stuck in the past, which was fine by me, they kept up with the times with this bike. It’s appealing in every way, except price, to I think a larger market. People who may have previously been on the CVO bubble might be over the hump now after riding this bike. It still will always come down to price though. At $50K, youre looking at a small mortgage payment.

First, I have been watching for years and love the content. At about 17 minutes in, you made mention of purchasing the base model because BlockHead Garage can do any performance mods that you would really want on the Road Glide platform. My question is whether or not you have found any issues/difficulties with the VVT found on the new base models, when making performance modifications? Harley has removed it from the CVO ST, and I am just wondering if the VVT obstructs/hinders performance tuning in any way? Cheers.

20:22 Are the control buttons on the handlebars only illuminated on the CVO or also on the normal Road Glide 2024?

I'm glad we have to be happy about bikes not intervening in normal riding by adding modes to let us control simple riding by overcomplicating just riding.

Wow that thing is a space ship compared to my bikes

Justin, Those road shot clips with the miles flying by are VERY nice. John, sitting up on the back of the seat doesn't sound very comfortable. I think Goldzilla rides more comfortably.

As someone who may never be able to own a Harley, I have to settle with watching videos like this one.

Everyone should donate 100 bucks so blockhead could afford that CVO ST

HooWhee! In my dreams! What a bike! Great review, thanks Blockhead

They charge $200 per hour at a motorcycle shop but he can't afford cvo..i smell BS

Loved your review. Can't wait to get mine broken in. I only have 300 miles on it and it has been windy and raining, so I will let you know what I think. Thanks

Two Lane Life guys

13 damn Buttons on 1 grip, I remember when they added Fuel Injection options and Radios, Then GPS, the ABS, now wet riding, Sport riding etc etc, Digital Gauges too on the 12" iPad screens!!. I understand Harley Got to Modernize for the "Youth", not my daddies Harley company but its funny see say how far Harley has come. Now the Rushmore Bikes are the Vintage/Retro Bikes now. I love the Road glide but i dislike the fairing on these new Touring bikes so much and Giant 1pc headlight. Im not the guy that praises and swallow everything Harley puts out. Luckily they still sale the Road King and HydraGlids, Heritage. The Bagger line is completely change its just missing being powered by a Battery. Think ill Buy a 2nd bike either a TwinCam SG or TwinCam Road king or maybe a nice lil HydraGlide. I just don't like ALL the computer bullshit on a Bike i can DO GPS/ABS all the other bullshit i can do without. And i get it, If u want those Harley Invites u have to conduct yourself in a certain way i get it. U have to Praise them and say how great such and such is. Because You cant bite the hand that feeds you right, as a what they call "Content Creator" or "RU-vidr" never the less, Blockhead is always giving us Solid Content and Thank you.

try being 6'1" with that windshield. Even with the vent open, you have to have a full face, otherwise you have so much wind noise, it's unmanageable. I blame Olivia @ Orlando HD - she may be buy it :-)

Clark Elizabeth Clark George Johnson David

I'm sorry, but why would you be taking your phone out while doing 60 mph on a bike? Any number of bad things are likely to happen and you got off with the least painful one.

Small change but..... BACKLIT CONTROLS!?!?!?!?!

WoW you own a business, do RU-vid videos, got sponsors and raffle off bikes and whatever else and you cannot afford a CVO? HUH WTF

A "test ride" from coast to coast!

You are really making me want to get an HD!

Williams Sandra Lopez Michael Young Amy

Wilson Elizabeth Hernandez Michael Brown Robert

Too much money for limited performance. Buy a regular glide with 20k to spend on performance and compare what you actually have.

If you wanted to make this bike lighter the very first thing you should have done is change out that fkn boulder of a battery and replace with a lithium is so basic just ask Ducati they know a thing or 2 about going fast I love my hds but ffs harley wake up and get a grip

Martin Elizabeth Thompson Linda Miller Kimberly

Sooooo glad to hear ye say INDICATOR rather than BLINKER 🙄🙄🙄🙄

I hope you’re able to get it. I’m sure it would mean allot considering the cross country ride.

If I could afford a bike that costs as much as a truck I’d own one of these. 😂

tried to book a service for a dyno tune but will not book a dyno tune for someone from out of town who would wait and ride it home... unfortunate

might be a stupid question, can you take out the speakers and create storage space instead??? i dont care about blasting music

If they are listening. Why did they get rid of the sportster when it was their best selling bike

I couldn't help to notice that it's missing two more wheels and a steering wheel 🤔

I just can't wrap my head around $$$$$ hard pass because of that

My buddy bought a 121 n he hated it, says it sucks?😮

Garcia Mary Davis David Johnson Sharon

I don't care for the new digital dash and fairing on the new 2024 Road Glide CVO but that's just me I'm old school everybody's entitled to their own opinion

looks awesome do I really need to do a 5000 miles check on my harley

I would love to own that bike. Great video..

Bat wing > shark nose, it’s a nice bike tho for sure.

Get the fairing off the hood of the T/A !! That is sacrilege.
