Built around Harley-Davidson's touring motorcycle platform, the 2015 Harley-Davidson CVO Limited pairs a 1801 cc (109.9 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 96.6 HP (70.5 kW) at 5,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 156 Nm (115.1 lb-ft) at 3,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 53.6 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (3,750 rpm) and peak power (5,000 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the CVO Limited measures 428 kg (944 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.23 HP/kg (4.43 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 693 mm (27.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,613 mm (63.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 22.71-liter (6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 406 km (252 miles) between fill-ups.
