Motorcycle specifications Harley-DavidsonCVO 1920 STREET GLIDE FLHXSE 2019 The most venal of baggers

The CVO department loves working on Street Glides. There's been one almost every year for a decade. You can't deny a CVO luxury. And it doesn't deny itself anything either. The Street Glide continues Harley's tradition of high-end customization. As last year, we can expect a delicate and luxurious work. Beautiful parts, supreme allure, a majesty that only Custom Vehicle Operations can deliver....... Except that this Street Glide packs one heck of an engine, far bigger than anything we've seen in production from Harley. The Milwaukee Eight twin peaks at 117 ci, and it's jaw-dropping.

with its M8, Harley has developed a motorization for the ages to come. It can be found in all Tourer and Softail models, in 1745 or 1870 cm3. They're affectionately nicknamed 107 ci or 114 ci, in reference to their American measurement systems. Here, prestige pushes it into a 1923 cm3 version. An enormous value, totally in keeping with the machine's size and value.
Previously, CVO models were powered by the most highly evolved Twin Cam, the 110 with 1803 cm3 of displacement. Now, the Milwaukee Eight Scream'in Eagle gargles in 120 cm3 more, and its throat belches more than just vocals. This block sends 106 horsepower through the 6-speed gearbox, and the poor transmission will have to shift almost 17 mkg of torque. So buying a CVO isn't just Harley's top-of-the-line machine; it's also an American force of nature. Its cylinder heads are marked with a 'Blaze Red' stripe on the rocker covers to underline the prestigious nature of this machine.

in MoCo's top-of-the-range department, the focus is on high-quality paintwork and decoration. Wiser than usual, the Street Glide's coat of arms is nonetheless beautifully crafted. Of course, the equipment is equally impressive. The BOOM BOX touchscreen infotainment system is updated with the GTS version. The 6.5" color TFT touchscreen is much more resistant. Its contrast has been increased, as has its resolution. The multimedia system takes advantage of this evolution to gain in speed and simplicity, gains the Apple CarPlay app and an improved intercom system via in-house-made headphones. This 'moto-entertainment' is supported by a sound system consisting of 3 x 4-channel amplifiers terminated by six bi-amplified loudspeakers. Auditorium guaranteed: the system pumps out no less than 900 watts of sound.
Intrepid Talon rims mark the perimeter of this bagger, one of the most desirable in the Harley range. Guest features from the Kahuna collection include gear selector, brake pedal cover, muffler tips, heated grips and rider and passenger footrests.
The stifling price tag is not just a psychological barrier. It's also the definition of premium for a very discerning category of enthusiasts.
