Ridetech Installs A New F & X-Body Performance Subframe In A 1967 Camaro, Here’s How
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.”
“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.
Leah Pruett took to her Instagram story to share photos alongside her husband, former NASCAR driver Tony Stewart, as they showcased their personalized Harley Davidson. This touring bike was custom-built by Southern Country Customs, a venture owned by fellow ex-NASCAR driver Rusty Wallace and his son, Steve.
Southern Country Customs (SCC) primarily specializes in customizing Harley-Davidson motorcycles, offering bespoke body kits, performance enhancements, and more.
With their mutual passion for speed, derived from their motorsport backgrounds, Pruett and Stewart decided to modify one of their Harleys. Pruett uploaded snapshots of the modified bike on her Instagram stories, capturing Stewart in action. The post reached her 371k followers. It’s noteworthy that Stewart has an estimated net worth of around $90 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

The duo is gearing up for the annual “Bike Week” event at Daytona Beach, Florida, which takes place every year from February 28 to March 9. This gathering serves as a fantastic opportunity for motorcycle enthusiasts to connect and celebrate their shared passion for biking.
Pruett also shared an image of a Bike Week T-shirt boasting a nostalgic 1980s design.
“It’s that time again!” Pruett commented in her story.

Tony Stewart expresses affection for his wife Leah Pruett
Leah Pruett and Tony Stewart exchanged vows in November 2021 after a few months of engagement and dating.
Years into their marriage, their affection for one another remains as strong as ever. Recently, Stewart highlighted an interesting aspect of their relationship. He mentioned that, unlike many husbands who cherish their work as a break from family life, he eagerly anticipates spending quality time with Pruett.
“There are many men who enjoy going to work because it allows them a little time away from their spouses. They love their lives and their wives, but some guys need that distance. For us, we can be around each other seven days a week, and it functions well at the racetrack since we’re both racers,” Stewart conveyed (via Athlon Sports).
Interestingly, he revealed that their dynamic alters once they return home; despite working closely at the racetrack, they often find themselves in separate rooms at home.
“It’s amusing because it’s quite the opposite when we’re at home,” Tony Stewart elaborated. “We tend to spend a significant amount of time in different rooms, but at the racetrack, we’re in sync, aligned in everything, and I truly appreciate our dynamic.”
Pruett has been competing in the NHRA Top Fuel series but has taken a hiatus recently. Initially, this break was due to her pregnancy and has since extended to allow her to devote more time to her child.

MOTÖRHEAD‘s exclusive “Speedfreak” blend is the boldest, most exhilarating coffee you’ll experience, a robust blend that features flavors of Dark Chocolate, Caramel, and Cocoa designed to energize your day (and it has a hint of nuttiness with a fruity surprise!). Ready for a thrill? Hop on!
Concept Cafes shares, “We are genuinely thrilled to play a small role in the legendary MOTÖRHEAD saga and provide some outrageously flavorful coffee to fans across the MOTÖRHEAD realm!

The ‘Speedfreak’ tale plays out like an epic poem about MOTÖRHEAD launching a custom ’75 Chevy Big-Block hot rod engine into the cosmos, only to reemerge as the colossal ‘Speedfreak’ 50 years later, powered by coffee beans of extraterrestrial origin and propelled by the thunderous echoes of Lemmy‘s signature ‘Murder One’ amplifier stack. MOTÖRHEAD‘s ‘Speedfreak’ coffee isn’t just another brew; it’s a lifestyle devoid of limits that embraces motion; if it has wheels, ‘Speedfreak’ will make them burn out!”

Through collaborations with artists like Cannibal Corpse, Max & Iggor Cavalera, and Ministry, we aim to bring fans an unparalleled Metal coffee experience. As passionate fans ourselves, we constantly seek epic Metal moments, whether through records, live shows, or merchandise. Our mission is to contribute to that communal experience, highlighting that these are the artists’ coffee stories, not our own—we merely help shape and deliver their visions to the fans.
We’re committed to offering a unique coffee culture for Metalheads, steering clear of mainstream gimmicks. We are honored every day with the responsibility to work alongside Metal legends, which drives us to explore new possibilities. We believe Metal deserves nothing less than superior coffee!
The reality is that coffee culture has become overly generic in recent decades; dull and diluted from its creative roots that once inspired artists across generations. We’re here to reignite that fire—after all, this is Metal, motorcycles, and horror. What more were you expecting?!
