Harley-Davidson’s Custom Vehicle Operations, or more commonly, CVO, is the company’s in-house customizing arm. It’s like a company within a company, and Harley employees covet the opportunity to work for this branch of the Motor Company that takes standard Harley models and turns them into something special.
CVO bikes start as OE-model Harleys. A dedicated staff then works from the expansive array of goodies from Harley’s P&A (Parts and Accessories) division, as well a few touches exclusive to the CVO line, to craft these run-of-the-mill Harleys into tasteful works of rolling art.
Paint scheme pinstripes done by hand means no CVO bike is 100% identical to another, even if the same model. Furthermore, CVO paint schemes are available only within CVO – no getting a CVO paint job from the P&A catalog.
Underlining the exclusivity of CVO motorcycles are limited worldwide production numbers for each model.
Cruisin’ the countryside on a CVO is a dream for many Harley-Davidson fans.While the approximate total CVO production for 2012 of 10,400 units seems like a lot, and is likely more units than Victory cranks out across its entire lineup, in light of the more than 222,000 bikes H-D sold worldwide last year, CVO total production is a drop in the Harley bucket.
Harley loves to tout the loyalty of the CVO owner.
Jeff Smith, a CVO team manager, said during Harley’s annual dealer meeting it’s common for dealers to sell a CVO bike over the phone to eager CVO regulars only minutes after the new models are revealed. These dyed-in-the-wool CVO lovers damn the dollar sign torpedoes when it comes to these turnkey customs from Harley.
Depending on the model, a CVO cruiser can easily crest $32,000. But CVO customers willingly accept what otherwise would make many riders spew a mouthful of American pilsner in disbelief the second a CVO’s price tag was revealed. However, the seasoned Harley CVO owner is perhaps wiser than their spendy ways indicate, for hidden in a CVO’s price is surprising value when it comes to a custom-style bike.
