Finally, the Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide is here in India at Rs 67.37 lakh. And wow, that price makes you sit back for a second. I’ve been around bikes for over 10 years, and honestly, seeing this beast on Indian roads feels different. Big. Loud. And a bit scary too.
The design grabs attention. Harley-Davidson CVO has that classic Harley feel but with more attitude. Some curves pop, some lines shout. But if you’ve seen older CVOs, you know it isn’t a huge change. I remember back in 2017, I sat on a CVO Ultra at a dealer in Mumbai. Heavy bike. Almost tipped over on a tight turn. Still, the growl of the engine made me grin. Memories stick.

Engine and Performance
The Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide comes with the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine. Strong. Powerful. Feels like it will pull forever. But let’s be honest. Harley always talks big numbers. I remember testing a CVO in Pune last year. Dealer promised 500 km range. I pushed it hard. Only got 380 km. Yeah, numbers look good on paper but India traffic and road conditions don’t care.
Electronics are everywhere now. TFT screen, navigation, ride modes. Sounds fancy. But in real life, glitches happen. Once in Bangalore, my screen froze mid-ride. Took a dirt track thinking it was a shortcut. Not fun. Not at all. So Harley-Davidson CVO is techy but not foolproof.
Ride Comfort
Long highway rides on Harley-Davidson CVO feel amazing. Smooth, comfy, feels like flying. City riding? Tough. Heavy bike. Hard to weave through traffic. I recall Pune streets, trying a tight turn, people staring. Felt awkward. But that exhaust sound. Oh man, addictive. My neighbor waved and laughed, said, “Feels like a Harley parade.” True story.
Maintenance is another thing. Keep Harley-Davidson CVO running and you need patience. Service expensive, parts costly, software updates needed. Not a casual ride. This bike demands attention. You ignore it, and it bites back.
Price and Value
Rs 67.37 lakh. Big money. Harley-Davidson CVO is worth it if you are a collector, Harley fan, or someone who dreams of V-twin engines. Average rider? Maybe overkill. Dealer in Delhi told me only hardcore buyers even ask about it. Casual riders flinch at the price. So yes, niche market.
At the end, Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide is pure emotion. Loud. Bold. Chrome and leather screaming. Approach it with eyes open. Think about traffic, service, wallet, and thrill factor. If you got money and Harley soul, go. If you think practical, maybe try Street Glide or something lighter. I learned from experience. Passion bikes are expensive messy unforgettable.
