This Harley-Davidson CVO touring nameplate appeared for the 2014 model year as the factory’s ultra-premium version of its big-distance bagger, positioned above the standard touring lineup and aimed at riders who wanted a fully dressed, limited-production machine straight from the factory. It arrived during Harley-Davidson’s Project Rushmore era, when the brand was updating its touring motorcycles with improved aerodynamics, infotainment, rider comfort, and long-haul usability. The model was built around the company’s most elaborate factory-custom touring formula, combining exclusive paint and trim with high-end touring equipment and CVO-specific detailing that set it apart from regular production bikes.
Over its run, the nameplate stayed focused on luxury touring rather than reinvention. It was part of Harley-Davidson’s broader CVO program, which the company uses to create limited-production, highly equipped motorcycles and to introduce special finishes, accessories, and technology before some of those ideas spread to other models. In this case, the model became known as the top-tier CVO long-hauler in the company’s bagger and grand touring range, with an emphasis on comfort for rider and passenger, custom appearance, and a strong highway presence.
The nameplate remained in the lineup through the 2022 model year. After that, Harley-Davidson’s touring CVO strategy shifted, and the comparable flagship touring offering moved to other CVO road-going variants rather than continuing this exact badge. As a result, this nameplate’s history is best understood as a single continuous run from its 2014 debut through its 2022 finale, representing Harley-Davidson’s most luxurious factory-custom touring expression of that era.
