Harley-Davidson Unveils ‘Most Powerful Production Bike Yet,’ but Fans Say It’s a ‘Miss’ Due to Key Feature

HARLEY-Davidson has introduced its most powerful motorcycle ever available for public roads, but a significant portion of the fanbase is expressing dissatisfaction with the unveiling.

The iconic motorcycle manufacturer showcased their 2025 CVO Road Glide RR in a promotional video shared on social media, following its announcement at a press conference held in Austin, Texas.

The new CVO Road Glide RR is designed on Harley’s touring platform and features a 131 cubic-inch engine that delivers an impressive 153 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque.

However, aspiring owners may find it challenging to obtain one, as only 131 units of this model will be produced, and it carries a hefty starting price of $110,000.

This price point marks the highest ever set by the company for one of its motorcycles, which is said to honor its participation in the renowned “King of the Baggers” motorcycle race series.

During the press event, Jason Kehl, Harley’s Product Development Leader, remarked: “A project like this, a motorcycle of this exclusivity, hand-crafted with only 131 units, wouldn’t be viable without the complete backing of the company.

“This is a ‘factory motorcycle.’ Harley Davidson has referred to that term, pertaining to racing, since 1914.”

For those unaware, Mission King of the Baggers features Harley’s heavier bikes – equipped with fairings and saddlebags – competing against their sole American competitor, Indian Motorcycle.

With this latest model, Harley aims to capitalize on the growing popularity of the racing series, although the response from fans has not met the company’s expectations.

In comments on the unveiling video shared on Facebook, many users voiced their confusion regarding Harley’s choice to launch such an expensive motorcycle.

One commenter said: “Yeah, this is just what people want right now in this economy…spending $150,000 on a Harley after taxes.”

Another remarked: “This is an answer to a question no one asked. You already make $30K bikes with technology that can’t compete against Japanese models priced a third less.”

Harley-Davidson riders point to glaring ‘oversight’ by brand after chain’s stock plummets & dealerships close for good

“Instead of addressing that – you roll out this?”

A third user commented: “If this was the surprise you teased for three quarters, you’re going to disappoint a majority of your audience.

“You’ve missed your target, a swing and miss, HD.”

However, not all feedback was negative.

An optimistic user stated: “For someone who desires the absolute best…here’s your motorcycle, and if I could, I certainly would be interested.”

In a similar vein, Indian released its own race replica, the Challenger RR, in 2023, which was intended strictly for track use—but sales were poor.

Only 29 units were produced, initially priced at $92,229, and the Challenger RR is still available at various dealers for less than the original cost.

In recent months, shares of Harley-Davidson have declined, with motorcycle sales witnessing a third consecutive annual drop.

Escalating prices and interest rates have largely deterred potential buyers.

Harley-Davidson closures in 2024

There are over 650 Harley-Davidson dealerships around the United States.

Nevertheless, various locations have closed for numerous reasons throughout 2024, with little explanation provided.

Below is a list of some Harley-Davidson outlets that have shut down this year:

The San Francisco location closed in June after 110 years of operation due to ‘chaos’ caused by new management.

Miracle City Harley-Davidson in Titusville, Florida, ceased operations in September with no reason specified.

Harley-Davidson’s landmark shop in New York City closed on September 28, with the owner citing economic challenges.

Reiman’s Harley-Davidson dealership in Kewanee, Illinois, shut its doors in October after the ownership transferred the business to the Walter Brothers Harley Davidson dealership in Peoria, Illinois.

Additionally, the dealership in West Bend, Wisconsin, will be temporarily closing for the season from November 2 until April 1, 2024.

Harley-Davidson Unveils Its Most Powerful Motorcycle Yet, Priced Equal to a New Corvette Z06

This robust American powerhouse is laden with carbon fiber but still tips the scales at 785 lbs.

Harley-Davidson Unveils Its Most Powerful Motorcycle Yet, Priced Equal to a New Corvette Z06

Harley-Davidson’s Most Powerful Bike Ever Costs As Much As A New Corvette Z06
  • The limited-edition 2025 CVO Road Glide RR boasts a 2,153 cc engine producing 153 hp and 150 lb-ft (204 Nm).
  • Harley-Davidson has incorporated high-quality components, including Öhlins shocks and Brembo brakes.
  • Only 131 units of this limited-series motorcycle will be manufactured, exclusively for the U.S. market.

When envisioning a race-ready motorcycle, the name Harley-Davidson likely doesn’t come to mind. Yet the iconic American brand, facing significant challenges in recent years, is now vying with Indian in the King of the Baggers racing series, where their formidable touring bikes are dominating some of the finest racetracks in the United States.

Watch: Arkansas Police Pit Harley-Davidson And Send It Into The Air

To celebrate its circuit achievements, Harley Davidson has introduced a street-legal version of its race motorcycle, the 2025 CVO Road Glide RR. Not only is it the most powerful Harley ever made for the road, but it also comes with a heart-stopping price tag of $110,000. For context, that’s nearly equivalent to a brand-new Chevy Corvette Z06, which starts at $112,100. Just another typical day in Harley-land.

Engine: Beyond Just Size

The standout feature of this remarkable bike is undoubtedly the engine. It’s an impressive 2,153 cc (2.2-liter) V-twin, which provides more displacement than many well-known performance hatchbacks. This giant engine generates 153 horsepower and 150 lb-ft (204 Nm) of torque. While the horsepower might seem modest compared to some sportbikes exceeding 200 hp, the torque figures tell a different story. For comparison, the BMW M 1000 RR, a top-tier sportbike, produces merely 83 lb-ft (113 Nm) from its smaller 999 cc engine.

It’s not solely the engine that impresses. Harley has equipped the bike with a complete titanium exhaust from Akrapovic and cutting-edge Brembo brakes. When fluids are included, it weighs in at 785 lbs (356 kg), making it easy to understand why it requires substantial torque to accelerate. Although Harley hasn’t released any performance stats, it is expected to be exceedingly fast.

No performance motorcycle would be complete without state-of-the-art suspension, and the Road Glide RR delivers. Premium Öhlins suspension has been fitted front and rear, and it’s fully adjustable. Additionally, a plethora of lightweight carbon fiber components has been included to help justify the steep pricing. A Rockford Fosgate audio system rounds out the premium features.

Exclusivity Comes with a Cost

If you’re fortunate (or perhaps unfortunate, depending on your viewpoint) enough to have the funds, be aware that only 131 units of the 2025 CVO Road Glide RR will be produced, all intended for the U.S. market. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a race-inspired touring motorcycle priced like a high-performance sports car… this is your chance. Just remember to consider a second mortgage to cover it.

Charges Filed in Last Year’s Fatal Hit-and-Run in Taneytown

The accused has been charged by the Carroll County Grand Jury.

Charges Filed in Last Year’s Fatal Hit-and-Run in Taneytown

Westminster, Md (KM) A man from Baltimore has been charged in relation to a fatal hit-and-run incident that occurred in Taneytown last year. On Thursday, February 27, 2025, Darius Deontae Bond, 19, was indicted by the Carroll County Grand Jury on charges of hit and run resulting in death, theft between $25,000 and $100,000, and driving without a license. The first two charges are classified as felonies, while the third is a misdemeanor.

On August 20, 2024, at approximately 4:30 AM, emergency services were summoned to the 2700 block of Francis Scott Key Highway due to a vehicle crash. Upon their arrival, first responders discovered an abandoned black Infiniti QX60 SUV, which had been reported stolen from Baltimore. According to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, the Infiniti had collided with a yellow Harley Davidson motorcycle operated by Terry Crowl, 55, of Taneytown, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators found that the two people inside the SUV had fled the scene on foot. Additionally, they discovered that a white box truck had been stolen during the night from a residence near the accident site.

“Following thorough interviews, forensic examination, and DNA evidence collected from the scene, Darius Deontae Bond was identified as the driver of the vehicle that struck and killed Terry Crowl,” stated Carroll County Sheriff Jim Dewees during a press briefing on Tuesday to inform the public about the case.

Carroll County State’s Attorney Haven Shoemaker, present at the press conference, mentioned that a warrant had been issued by the Circuit Court in Carroll County, leading to Bond’s transfer from Frederick County on Monday. He is currently held without bond.

“In our judicial system, individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty,” Shoemaker emphasized. “However, we are confident that we have a remarkably strong case.”

Jim Staller, a relative of victim Terry Crowl, also spoke at the news conference, expressing frustration: “Experiencing a tragic event like this leads one to feel an immense sense of frustration. Dealing with a system that appears to favor criminals is extremely disheartening,” he remarked.

A second individual who was in the SUV with Bond at the time of the fatal incident has not yet been charged, according to Sheriff Dewees.

25th Annual Great Teddy Bear Run Makes a Comeback – Bowling Green Daily News

The Beloved Teddy Bear Run Celebrates Its 25th Anniversary

Published 1:51 pm Monday, March 3, 2025

The Great Teddy Bear Run by the Barren River Area Child Advocacy Center is returning for its 25th year on April 26, aiming to raise awareness about child abuse and provide support for local children.

Sponsored by Aetna Better Health of Kentucky, the 13-mile group ride kicks off with registration at 9 a.m. at the Warren County Justice Center, concluding at 1 p.m. at Harley-Davidson of Bowling Green. The ride officially begins at 11 a.m.

Sabrina Durbin, outreach coordinator for BRACAC, mentioned that the ride serves as a fundraising opportunity, covering crucial services not financed by grants.

“These fundraisers are essential,” she emphasized.

BRACAC operates in Bowling Green, extending its services to ten surrounding counties.

“It’s a sanctuary for children and families seeking assistance following disclosures of sexual abuse,” Durbin explained. “Funds raised support these services, ensuring that costs don’t become a barrier for families during such a traumatic time.”

Some free services provided include victim advocacy, medical examinations, forensic interviews, and trauma-focused therapy.

Riders are encouraged to bring new teddy bears to attach to their motorcycles, which will be donated to child abuse victims for comfort.

In honor of the event’s 25th anniversary, new features have been introduced, such as a commemorative patch available for riders and a tattoo artist at Harley-Davidson offering special tattoos, including a teddy bear design for the occasion.

“There are many exciting elements this year,” Durbin noted. “However, the highlight remains the motorcycle ride itself, complete with a police escort through the city. It promises to be a delightful day.”

The ride concludes with a block party at Harley-Davidson featuring a silent auction, raffle, DJ, vendors, food trucks, and dessert trucks.

Online registration ends on April 22, with all sign-ups prior to April 17 receiving an event t-shirt, pin, and swag bag.

The pre-registration fee is $35 for a single rider, with an additional $25 for a passenger.

All attendees will have the opportunity to engage in fundraising efforts.

For more details and to register, please visit bracac.org.

I hail from Owensboro and graduated from Owensboro High School. I earned my degree in print journalism from Murray State University in 1994. I’ve been residing in Bowling Green and working at the paper since my graduation.
