We open the motorcycle season: with a luxury bike of the extra class. On the way with the more than 30 000 euros expensive Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide.

Where I also stop with the machine, she attracts the interest in himself. This time at a burger floor on the famous Highway Number 1 halfway between Pismo Beach and Big Sur: Good 20 other Harleys are standing in front of the veranda.

The looks wander over the massive appearance, remain on the engine, where three thick numbers are chrome-orzed in the sun shine: 110. First, it does not hold on his well-established butt; Estimated 120 kg of colorful tattooed muscle mass rise and stroll over. "Nice bike – nice motorcycle," says the Hun. And he says it’s serious.

CVO -Custom Vehicle Operations

Neid is something that is seemingly alien to the Americans. Harley drivers obviously especially. The black sunglasses glides up, to the light comes friendly, before admiration glowing eyes. The next half hour is about the 110, which stands for the particularly displaceable 1.8-liter V2 engine and the Street Glide designs as a CVO model. The abbreviation stands for Custom Vehicle Operations, the in-house finishing fortue of Harley-Davidson.
From an ordinary Street Glide, the CVO differs next to the engine on the basis of numerous additional loving details: even more chrome, well-placed, finely crafted Harley lettering, downwardly extended hard case, a shortened front fender, a lower rear suspension, a special seat, exceptional wheels. All this gives a madness price: 31 750 euros costs the iron clusters changed to the art object in Germany. But just just parked the machine in California, therefore no word more about the equivalent of a mid-range car, because envy plays in the country of eternal sunshine as I said a subordinate role.

City escape
With a rich blow, the V-Twin awakens from the forced break, put the red giant in gentle vibration. Klack – the first gear is in it.

Also, the strict coupling claims the forearm muscles for a fee, which is in addition to the immense curb weight of 367 kilograms and the sprawling dimensions (length: 2.45 meters) the main reason speaks against longer city trips.
Anyway, the Street Glide wants – Nomen Est Omen – beyond the free road. From 50 miles per hour – not very 90 km / h – the 1800s in sixth gear supersed. For hours there is no reason to switch. When sliding, the V2 is only gently heard in the background for the driver; Under load, he swabs heartily powerful from chromed touring silencers. The scholars gained in jeans and black leather argue if that is more like "Banana-Banana" or after "Potato-Potato" sounds. Let it be drum, it’s addictive. Side. Nevertheless, in mileage on the highway, an acceptable average value of around five liters can be achieved at 100 kilometers.
