2012 Harley CVO Street Glide | Preview

2012 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle

For 2012, Harley-Davidson continues to produce the Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) Street Glide, the motorcycle considered The Motor Company’s “hot-rod bagger.”

Like the previous-year’s model, the FLHXSE3 CVO Street Glide continues to arrive with the Screamin’ Eagle Twin Cam 110 ci, which pushes 118 ft. lbs. of torque at 3750 rpm, and the 19-inch Agitator front wheel, the largest-diameter wheel ever offered on a Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycle.

What Harley did different with the 2012 CVO Street Glide was based around aesthetics and sound; three new unique color combos are available for the ’12 Street Glide, and a more powerful audio system, with 100 watts of power per channel (400 watts total) and eight custom speakers.

Harley has also added some additional styling dynamics to the Street Glide, including diamond-cut, charcoal faces on the speedometer/tachometer gauges.

As always, the CVO Street Glide is built on the innovative Harley-Davidson Touring chassis, based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and swingarm “developed to withstand the demands of long-haul touring riders.”

Following are the highlights, specs, color options and MSRP for the 2012 Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide.
