Harley-Davidson's Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) program began in 1999. It produces limited-edition, factory-custom motorcycles featuring exclusive paint, upgraded components, and more powerful engines. These bikes are hand-finished by a select group of technicians, setting them apart from standard production models.
Enthusiasts seek out CVOs for their rarity and top-tier factory specifications. They often debut larger displacement engines, like the Screamin' Eagle 110 and Milwaukee-Eight 117, before they're offered on other bikes. This exclusivity, combined with unique finishes, helps them retain value better than their mass-produced counterparts.
The market for CVOs is active, with an average sale price of $16,316 across a wide range of model years and conditions. While newer bikes with low mileage can exceed $30,000, well-kept older models offer an accessible entry into factory-custom ownership.
Buying Tips
- Check engine history, especially on pre-2007 Twin Cam models, for cam chain tensioner service or upgrades.
- Inspect the multi-layered CVO paint jobs for any chips or repairs, as they're difficult and expensive to replicate perfectly.
- Verify all electronics, from the Boom! Box infotainment system on later models to ABS and security systems, are fully functional.
- Ask for original CVO-specific items like the gold key, owner's manual, and any documentation that confirms its limited-edition status.
Prices range from $7,514 for older models to $33,500 for top-spec recent variants.
