That didn’t take long. Earlier in April 2023, proof of the existence of a near-future Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide 121 emerged in Australian vehicle certification documents. It gave us some insight into what we could expect, while also raising additional questions. The Milwaukee-Eight 121 engine certainly sounded tasty on paper, but would it come with variable valve timing to help with emissions compliance?
On April 26, Harley-Davidson put some of the speculation about the 2023 CVOs to rest. While it didn’t opt for a full reveal of the redesigned bikes at this time, the changes are significant—so much so that it dropped a teaser trailer with a few choice details, scattered like breadcrumbs to enjoy until the full meal arrives.
