2025 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR Preview 

2025 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR
Only 131 units of this 2025 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR, a King Of The Baggers replica streetbike, will be built.

MotoAmerica’s King Of The Baggers series has exploded in popularity since it debuted in 2020, featuring Harley-Davidson and Indian motorcycles pushed to the limits of bagger performance. Now customers will be able to purchase a race-spec Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR streetbike for themselves. If they’ve got deep enough pockets.

Harley-Davidson’s CVO Road Glide RR will be a limited-production model of only 131 hand-assembled units available through select Harley dealers in the U.S. with a whopping MSRP of $110,000. For that chunk of change, customers will get the most powerful production Harley Big Twin ever offered in the MoCo’s 122-year history, complete with a race-ready chassis, an intricate a CNC-machined billet swingarm, and championship-winning racing components.

The RR comes with a Akrapovič full-titanium exhaust.

Starting with the engine, the Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR is powered by a Stage IV Screamin’ Eagle 131ci (2,147cc) V-Twin that makes a claimed 153 hp at 5,750 rpm and 150 lb-ft of torque at 4,750 rpm, with a redline elevated from 5,900 rpm to 6,500 rpm. It features a gaping 68mm throttle body and a CNC-ported intake manifold, with fuel flowing through CNC-ported cylinder heads and combustion chambers and 2mm-larger valves. The 34mm exhaust valves are made from expensive Inconel to resist fatigue. The 2-into-1 Akrapovič full-titanium exhaust is 10 lb lighter than the standard Milwaukee-Eight exhaust. 

The CVO Road Glide RR is also equipped with top-shelf Öhlins suspension components. Up front is an inverted 43mm Öhlins FGR Hypersport Superbike fork, and in the rear are Screamin’ Eagle Öhlins Remote Reservoir shocks. The fully adjustable suspension raises the motorcycle ride height by 2 inches for an increased lean angle of 36 degrees on the right and 35 degrees on the left (an increase of 3 degrees left and right compared to the CVO Road Glide ST).  

Premium braking components include Superbike-spec Brembo GP4-RX CNC 4-piston front calipers paired with 320mm Brembo T-Drive rotors that cost more than $600 each. In the rear, a 4-piston Brembo caliper bites a 300mm rotor.

For a weight reduction of 50 lb compared to the CVO Road Glide ST, the CVO Road Glide RR features titanium, carbon-fiber, and aluminum components. The mufflers and exhaust headers are titanium, and exhaust shields are carbon-fiber. A woven carbon-fiber composite is used on the front and rear fenders, side covers, tank console, fork nacelle, and radiator shroud, and a carbon-fiber and Kevlar layup is used on the front fairing and saddlebags.  

The clutch basket was created from high-strength 7075 billet aluminum. Other billet aluminum is found on the powertrain covers, intricate swingarm, and footpegs. The bike’s as-shipped weight is a claimed 750 lb.

This limited-production model comes with special paint and graphics, as well as visible carbon fiber throughout.

Creating a race-ready riding position are new mid-mount foot controls, a solo seat that has a laden seat height of 28.9 inches (2.3 inches higher than the standard Road Glide), a Moto Bar handlebar, and a 6-inch handlebar riser. The seat’s raised rear bolster and padded pommel on the rear of the fuel tank help keep the rider in place during aggressive riding. 

The Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR comes with Harley’s Rider Safety Enhancements, including cornering ABS and traction control, cornering Drag Torque Slip Control, Vehicle Hold Control, electronically linked brakes, and tire-pressure monitoring. Riders can switch through the nine available ride modes to adjust the performance and intervention levels of these technologies.

The seat’s rear bolster and padded pommel help keep riders in place during aggressive riding.

Ride modes include the normal Road, Sport, and Rain modes, and the RR gets four custom modes that allow the rider to select their preferences for torque delivery, engine braking, throttle response, traction control, and ABS. Track mode, developed with input from H-D Factory Team racer Kyle Wyman, is designed for best performance in a racetrack environment. Finally, Track Plus mode is designed for experienced riders to gain maximum control. Compared to Track mode, Track Plus disables electronically linked braking entirely and further reduces ABS and traction control. 

The RR also debuts the new Harley-Davidson Audio powered by Rockford Fosgate Stage III audio system with a four-channel, 500-watt amplifier powering 6.5-inch speakers mounted in the fairing. Additional features include a 5-inch dark smoke Wind Splitter windshield, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay and over-the-air software updates via wi-fi.

The RR comes with a 12.3-inch TFT display, as well as an audio system mounted behind the fairing.

The bike’s livery is inspired by the 2025 Harley-Davidson Factory Racing Team motorcycles competing in the King Of The Baggers series. It features Solid Racing Orange color that fades into a series of bars that form the shape of the Bar & Shield logo. Some areas of bodywork feature a clearcoat finish that reveals the carbon-fiber weave pattern, and there’s a white “Screamin’ Eagle” graphic on the fuel tank and fairing sides. The engine is finished in Hog Black with Racing Orange highlights, and the cast-aluminum wheels are finished in Gloss Black with red “CVO RR” laser-etched on the front wheel. For such a high-spec machine, we were surprised to not see a set of lightweight forged-aluminum wheels, but race-team manager Jason Kehl says that none were currently available that could handle the bagger’s weight.  

The Road Glide RR will become available in May, and it’s backed by a 24-month unlimited miles limited warranty. Find more information on the Harley-Davidson website

    • What you call a JOKE IS A FULLY RACED PREP TRACK READY RACE BIKE with all the R and D that goes into making this RACE READY MOTIR CYCLE an bargin at that PRICE

      • This is no where near a race prepped race bike, look at the picture and actually look at the HD race bikes. You are the HD fan boy that they are looking for to buy this replica. Yes it has some top shelf components but I dare you to try to take this on the track with the foot controls located in front of your ass. The factory race bikes do not weigh 750 pounds.

      • No disrespect here, but this is not the same as the bikes they run in the King of the Baggers exhibition series. For one, it has speakers and headlights, and is significantly heavier than the machines running in that series.

    • …and worse…it makes just a couple of HP more than their existing Pan America model that is priced at only 1/5th of the RR!!!! You know the ole saying, Chrome won’t get you home…well, neither will carbon fiber or billet aluminum . LOL

  1. Harley is out of there mind to try and sell cvo for
    $110.000 overpriced. I guess someone with more
    Money than brains will buy one.

  2. $110,000 – for that kind of money you could buy half-a-dozen other really great new motorcycles and fill your garage up.

  3. It’s a joke as far as I’m concerned. However, I’m sure that there are enough folks in the world with more money than sense to buy them.

    • Your the one WITH NO SENSE THE BIKE IS A FULLY PREPED RACE BIKE READY TO COMPETE IN THE BAGGER SERIES with all the R AND D ALREADY DONE READY TO WIN

  4. Bet they sell out fast. Some of their market will love them and some can afford it.
    Prestige, posturing, King of the Block! Free drinks at the local biker watering hole.
    Be honest, if somebody gave you a mask and one of these bikes would you ride it to the nearby biker bar? I would.
    H-D should sprinkle some around to their top dealers, to be used as a talking point, press attraction. All the general press will focus on is its $$$ price. Makes the rest of the line look like a bargain. Smart biz move. Welcome to the US of A!

    • Nobody nowhere is buying free drinks for the guy riding a $110,000 motorcycle. And buying a $110,000 motorcycle to ride to a biker bar is stupid. Hell, riding to a biker bar is stupid. You could be out riding the f-n motorcycle instead of sitting around, getting drunk and hitting a deer, an ambulance, or a ditch on the way home and ending up in the hospital for 3 months. What a shallow life… riding to a biker bar. Having a motorcycle that does nothing but trips to biker bars is like a great big beautiful lake that’s no more than 2 inches deep… useless.

  5. it’s funny, HD cannot sell $30k baggers to save their life(literally) BUT this one WILL sell out????? GO FIGURE…. I guess I would buy it also if I won the mega millions 🙂

  6. Dumb, on so many levels. No, I’m not a Harley hater and currently have a Street Bob 114. Been riding motorcycles for 57 years and have had a lot of different types. HD has probably sold every one of these already. They are still dumb.

  7. They are probably going to be bought by those billionaires who are going to by the Gold Card. What better way to say you are an American then buying a $110k HD.

  8. Sad. The 996 cc V-Twin in my garage, a 2003 Suzuki SV1000S with 44,000 miles on it, puts out around 120 HP, is redlined at 11,000 rpm, and cost me less than $2K last year. Probably not a fair comparison, but Harley’s engine architecture was obsolete somewhere shortly after WW II.

  9. Oh, and I note that the Brembo and Ohlins components that make this thing “handle” and stop? are made overseas and imported to the US for this “American” machine.

  10. For that price, I could score two of my all time dream bikes, a Vincent Black Shadow and a Paton S1-R. Harley is delusional.

  11. All the prissy disdain for a $110,000 motorcycle shows what a bunch of jerks riders can be. This bike isn’t FOR you. It doesn’t really CONCERN you. Nobody GAF if you would spend $45,000 on a farkled Ducati replicaracer or $2000 on a 30 year old 14,000 rpm Suzuki. As somebody pointed out, these are probably already sold anyway, or will be in a couple of days. People can (and should) do what they want with their money. People who will pay $110,000 for a motorcycle have enough money that it would be (to them) like a regular guy spending $2000 on a 14,000 rpm Suzuki. The $110,000 for the bike is just sitting there doing nothing useful, aside from earning interest or dividends. Why not enjoy the money you have if this rings your bell? Yes, this bike is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. So f’n what? That’s why it exists at all–to be over the top. For somebody who has $110,000 sitting around that’s “mad money” that may as well be spent on something ridiculous and more amusing than another 3 month 5-star-everywhere vacation that you’ll probably take anyway… because you can. The guys who buy this probably already have a helicopter and twin-engine (or jet) private aircraft and a yacht and a couple or 5 homes. They aren’t “normal people” living with normal budgets. They don’t care about value for money… they care about having an interesting ownership experience with something people without big bucks cannot experience… not because they are assholes, but because the money they have so much of does not mean to them what it means to you. It is a whole different state of mind. $110,000 isn’t “half a house” to them, it’s a vacation, something to hang on the wall, or some clothes for summer. The only sadness in a bike like this would be some regular guy with regular guy money going into deep debt to own one of these because they have a “thing” for top of the line Harleys. I hope nobody who gets one of these does that. Most of us think a $10,000 wrist watch is a giant waste of money–we can just look at our cell phone for free or ask Google or Alexa to tell us what time it is. But they sell $50,000 and $100,000 watches every day. Compared to a $100,000 wrist watch, this Harley seems sane! Compared to a $2 million+ exotic car, this motorcycle seems sane. Money becomes different when you have much more than you need to live on and provide for everybody in your life you feel responsible for.
