Introduction:
Harley-Davidson has launched something truly special—the limited-edition CVO Road Glide RR. Priced at $110,000, this motorcycle brings together the best of race performance and long-distance touring comfort. It’s a machine that comes straight from the brand’s deep involvement in the King of the Baggers (KOTB) racing series, now reimagined for the street.
From Racetrack to Open Road:
Last year, Harley-Davidson surprised journalists by inviting them to Las Vegas Speedway to test a new bike. When the CVO Road Glide ST was unveiled, its strong connection to KOTB racing became instantly clear. It wasn’t just another touring model—it had serious performance chops.
The reaction was overwhelmingly positive. That feedback paved the way for something even bolder: the CVO Road Glide RR.
The Rise of King of the Baggers
What began as a novelty has become a serious racing series. KOTB caught the attention of Harley and Indian motorcycle fans, turning into a real competition. This new form of racing sparked a tech battle between manufacturers, pushing street bikes to new performance levels—culminating in the Road Glide RR.
