Under the banner “Dawn of a New Era,” the Motor Company made a global announcement today about new models added to the 2024 Harley-Davidson lineup. This year marks the 25th anniversary of H-D’s Custom Vehicle Operations division, and in addition to the CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide announced last June, the Motor Company will offer a CVO Road Glide ST and a CVO Pan America adventure bike. Harley-Davidson’s popular Street Glide and Road Glide baggers have also been updated.

Street Glide and Road Glide | 2024 Harley-Davidson
Two of Harley-Davidson’s best-selling bagger models – the Street Glide and the Road Glide – now feature more streamlined bodywork first seen on their CVO counterparts. Both are powered by a Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twins with a revised cooling system, and new for 2024 are selectable ride modes: Road, Sport, Rain, and Custom.
Convenience and comfort have also been improved with an upgraded infotainment available through a new 12.3-inch TFT color display, additional rear suspension travel, and a revised seat.
CVO Road Glide ST | 2024 Harley-Davidson
Harley-Davidson says the new CVO Road Glide ST is the company’s “quickest, fastest, and most sophisticated performance bagger.” The West Coast-style bagger is powered by the Milwaukee-Eight 121 High Output V-Twin, an engine exclusive to this model that churns out 127 hp and 145 lb-ft of asphalt-buckling torque. Selectable ride modes include Road, Sport, Track, Track Plus, Rain, and multiple Custom modes.
Lightweight materials, including mufflers with titanium shells, an oil pan made of composite, and forged carbon fiber used in the muffler end caps, front fender, seat cowl, and tank console, along with revised wheels and wave-style front brake rotors, help keep dry weight to 800 lb, 25 lb less than the CVO Road Glide.
The CVO Road Glide ST is equipped with fully adjustable Showa suspension, with an inverted 47mm 1×1 fork and dual rear shocks with remote reservoirs, and Brembo braking components.
A full suite of infotainment is powered by Skyline OS, and a large color touchscreen replaces all analog instrumentation and most switches. Premium audio includes a 500-watt amplifier and Rockford Fosgate Stage II 6.5-inch fairing speakers.
The CVO Road Glide ST will be available in two paint schemes: Golden White Pearl or Raven Metallic. In addition to CVO 25th Anniversary graphics, a Screamin’ Eagle graphic on the fairing sides and fuel tank is inspired by the Screamin’ Eagle Harley-Davidson Factory motorcycles raced in the MotoAmerica King Of The Baggers series.
CVO Pan America | 2024 Harley-Davidson
Harley-Davidson’s Pan America has been one of the best-selling adventure bikes in the U.S. since its debut in 2021. The new CVO Pan America retains all the features of the Pan America 1250 Special, including the Revolution Max 1250 engine with multiple ride modes, semi-active suspension, and more.

It also comes in a unique black, red, and white paint scheme with a Harley-Davidson “1” logo on the tank.

I’m liking that CVO Road Glide with the 121cu. Milwaukee 8. I haven’t bought a new one since I bought my 02 right after the 01 dealers meeting. They were tough to find back in the day. Gonna be 68 in April, hopefully I have a few more years to enjoy a new bike.
These are clearly formulaic H-D’s, nothing really too far off the beaten path. I am 71, and my very first bike was a Harley. What puzzles me is to whom these are being marketed. Not people in my age bracket (although I have the means to buy any bike I want). I can’t see the younger folks forking out 25 to 35 grand for these bikes. So, I guess that leaves somebody in between ? Not sure what Harley’s demographics are for marketing at this point. In any event, I hope HD survives and can figure out a way to keep the marque alive.
Beautiful bikes..Youth today don’t have the disposable income, The core customers (myself included) are aging out..I see a perfect storm brewing.
Yep, pretty much how I feel. Nice machines, and good quality..but wow..expensive for cruisers. Most guys buy these just to cruise around town and go to the local pub.
There are new old people every day.
Same old shit
Harley has sold out to the Euro and Japanese style rides . Totally lost the Harley historic style. Such a shame.
I am 60 years old. Ride less than I used to…but still weekly…and a trip or two a year. There is NO way I could afford a $30000+ motorcycle. Heck I couldn’t even afford a car that cost that much!!!!!
I was hoping for a sporty light motorcycle with good power and handling. The Sportster S with real suspension , wheel travel , 25 degree rake, proper trail and a 120/17 front tire. Not this year.
Did Polaris buy Harley the fairing sure looks like the challenger 🤔
Bring back the FXDR with a 121 and a LowRider ST fairing and I’ll be first in line to order one…
Sorry this sounds really good but i cannot afford this
