Review
The 2012 Harley-Davidson FLHXSE 3 CVO Street Glide is a high-end, custom touring motorcycle designed for riders who want the best of everything. Its heart is a massive 1802.7cc V-twin engine, delivering immense power and torque. The engine produces a staggering 160.0 Nm of torque at 3750 rpm, providing effortless acceleration and cruising ability. A 6-speed gearbox provides smooth and precise shifting. The CVO Street Glide offers a comfortable riding position with a seat height of 673mm (26.5 inches). The large 22.71-liter fuel tank allows for extended journeys between fuel stops. While it weighs in at a substantial 372 kg (820 pounds), it provides a stable and planted feel on the road. The front suspension utilizes a 41.3mm telescopic fork with a blow-by valve for improved handling. Braking is handled by dual front discs with 4-piston calipers and ABS for enhanced safety. This motorcycle is built for riders who demand top-of-the-line performance, premium features, and exclusive styling. The CVO (Custom Vehicle Operations) designation signifies a high level of customization and attention to detail. It's suitable for long-distance touring, weekend getaways, and making a statement wherever you go. The CVO Street Glide represents the pinnacle of Harley-Davidson touring.
