This review was created by Kirk Johnson from Phoenix Bikers for all the motorcycle enthusiasts. I’ll post a review every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of a different motorcycle on this page. If you have any questions or want to request a motorcycle you’d like reviewed, please email me at kirkinphx@gmail.com.
Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST (2026) — from $44,999
CVO Road Glide ST puts sharknose, 121 HO, and CVO finish into a performance bagger aimed at riders who carve as much as they cruise.
Inverted forks, premium brakes/wheels language, and paint that photographs like a custom — with a warranty.
Not the cheap daily. The garage hero that still eats I-17.
From a Phoenix garage point of view, that matters: summer heat, monsoon oil slicks, and freeway miles on the 10/17 stack reward honest ergonomics and modern rider aids more than brochure poetry.
Who it’s for: sharknose performance bagger buyers with CVO money
Who should look elsewhere: tour-Pak Limited shoppers or Softail wallets
Bottom line: CVO sharknose ST — look fast, go fast, pay accordingly
CVO Road Glide ST as your only bike?
