The Harley-Davidson CVO, short for Custom Vehicle Operations, was a family of motorcycles created by H-D in 1999 for the factory custom market. The maker selected several motorcycles from its production machines and produced limited edition motorcycles with larger engines, color schemes, and accessories.
Some of the custom features introduced on the CVO models included performance upgrades, hand-painted pinstripes, ostrich leather, paint with incorporated gold leaf, and electronic accessories, such as a GPS and iPod music player.
In 2002, the American motorcycle manufacturer launched the Harley-Davidson CVO Road King, a touring machine also known as the FLHRSEI that featured the best materials and technologies developed by the House of Milwaukee engineers.
In the appearance department, the 2002 machine rolled on disc wheels with fat tires and packed standard features, such as a round headlight, a small detachable windscreen, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a one-piece dual seat with passenger and rider backrests, and side-mounted lockable panniers.
The power of the 2002 Harley-Davidson CVO Road King came from a 1,550cc air-cooled Screamin' Eagle Tin Cam 95 engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering smooth throttle response, fast acceleration, and 129 Nm (95 lb-ft) torque at 3,500 rpm.
The bike packed a 41 mm telescopic fork and a 292 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front end. On the rear, it packed the same braking system as the front with an air-adjustable shock absorber.
In 2023 (at the time of writing), the 2002 motorcycle was for sale at a price ranging from $10,000 to $15,000, depending on its condition and miles.
