Harley-Davidson doesn’t do things halfway. When they set out to dominate the racetrack, they do it with full-throttle aggression. When they take that same fire and put it on the street, they create something legendary.
Enter the 2025 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR—a motorcycle born from the King of the Baggers series, forged in the fires of competition, and now unleashed in a street-legal form. Limited to just 131 hand-built machines, this bike isn’t just another special edition—it’s a roaring declaration of Harley’s commitment to performance.
The Soul of a Racer, the Heart of a Beast
For over a century, Harley-Davidson has danced between the lines of tradition and innovation. From the dirt ovals of the 1910s to the blistering straight-line speeds of drag racing, Harley has always played in the fast lane.
The King of the Baggers series gave them a new playground—a way to turn touring bikes into apex predators. The CVO Road Glide RR is the distilled essence of that racing program, packing race-proven engineering into a machine that’s just as home tearing up a canyon road as it is on the podium.
What Makes It Special?
Limited Production, Maximum Impact
131 units. That’s it. Each one serialized, each one hand-built. This isn’t just another CVO badge job—this is an elite club, an instant collector’s piece, and a rolling testament to Harley’s racing ambitions.
The Screamin’ Eagle 131 Powerhouse
If the Road Glide RR had a heartbeat, it would be the deep, rumbling thump of the Screamin’ Eagle 131 cubic-inch powertrain. The most powerful engine Harley has ever stuffed into a touring bike, it delivers unrelenting power with a twist of the wrist. It’s not just fast—it’s an event.
Weight Savings, No Compromise
Performance is about control. The Road Glide RR trims the fat in all the right places. A billet aluminum swingarm starts as a 220-pound block and ends up a lean, mean 18-pound masterpiece.
Carbon fiber and Kevlar components, from the fairing to the saddlebags, shave weight while adding strength. This isn’t just a light Harley; it’s a heavyweight fighter that moves like a welterweight.
Race-Ready Suspension and Handling
A big motor is only as good as the chassis that holds it. That’s why this machine comes with Ohlins FGR 250 front forks and premium rear shocks.
More lean angle than any big-twin Harley before it. More grip. More control. More confidence. This isn’t just a bagger—it’s a scalpel.
A Symphony of Titanium and Carbon
An Akrapovic full titanium and carbon fiber exhaust doesn’t just look the part—it sings it. Deep, aggressive, and unmistakably Harley, this system is tuned to extract every last bit of performance from the 131.
High-Tech Muscle
The CVO Road Glide RR is packed with modern tech to make sure it rides as good as it looks.
- LED Lighting: Crisp, clear, and unmistakable on the road.
- Ride Modes: Adapt to the road, the weather, or your mood.
- 12.3-Inch TFT Screen: Vital info, clear as day, right where you need it.
The Connection to Racing
This isn’t a bike that just looks fast—it carries the DNA of the King of the Baggers racers. The livery echoes the machines tearing up racetracks, a direct tie to the program that made this bike possible. It’s a street bike, sure, but its soul belongs on the track.
The Final Word
Harley-Davidson could have just built another special edition. Instead, they built something different. The 2025 CVO Road Glide RR isn’t just about speed or exclusivity—it’s about pushing limits. And is something I don’t see Harley doing enough.
It’s about proving that a big twin can carve corners, chase apexes, and still carry that unmistakable Harley attitude. It’s a tribute to racing, a love letter to performance, and a dream machine for the lucky few who get their hands on one.
This is Harley at full speed, no holds barred. And it’s beautiful.
