Living the Ride: What the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide® Means for Nebraska Bikers
Lincoln, Nebraska—where the roads stretch wide, the horizon feels endless, and the rumble of a V-twin engine rolling through town is as comforting as a Midwest sunset. If you’ve ever craved the perfect motorcycle for these open landscapes, let’s talk about the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide®.
This touring bike has the attitude, the muscle, and the technology to make any ride in Nebraska one to remember. This vehicle was designed to own every mile in Nebraska.
So, let’s break it down: What makes the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide® the ultimate ride for Nebraska motorcyclists? Why does this bike feel like it was tailor-made for the Midwest lifestyle? And, most importantly, how can you throw a leg over one and take it for a spin?
There’s something about Nebraska roads that begs for a bike with real power. At the heart of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide® sits the Milwaukee-Eight® VVT 121 engine, a rumbling testament to Harley-Davidson®’s dedication to performance.
This isn’t about brute force alone. Thanks to variable valve timing, the engine adjusts its performance on the fly, ensuring a perfect balance of power and efficiency. Translation? A smooth, responsive ride no matter if you're navigating Lincoln’s city streets or opening it up on I-80. And with 115 horsepower and 139 lb-ft of torque, you’ll feel that satisfying pull every time you twist the throttle.
Riding through Nebraska’s wide-open spaces means dealing with everything from long, straight highways to gusty crosswinds sweeping across the plains. That’s where the improved aerodynamics come in—keeping the bike steady so you stay in control no matter what Mother Nature throws your way.
Looks count. However, motorcycle design is about more than simply looks; it's also about functionality.
The batwing fairing has been completely reworked for 2025, sculpted in a wind tunnel to reduce buffeting and improve stability at high speeds. That means less fatigue, more comfort, and a smoother ride.
Then there’s the signature LED lighting, which isn’t only about making the bike look cool (though, let’s be honest, it does). These lights increase visibility—a game-changer when you're riding Nebraska’s backroads at dusk.
And those cast wheels? They’re not just there to look pretty. They’ve been redesigned for this model, offering the perfect balance of strength and weight reduction. Paired with top-of-the-line Brembo® braking components, you’re getting a setup that stops as confidently as it accelerates.
Anyone who’s spent hours in the saddle knows that comfort isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide® is built for long-haul comfort.
The ergonomic seat has been redesigned to keep you in a natural riding position, which means less back strain and more energy when you finally hit your destination. And the new Aero Comfort technology reduces helmet buffeting, so you’re not constantly fighting the wind.
For those of us who love a good road trip, the spacious saddlebags give you plenty of room to pack everything you need—rain gear, extra layers, or whatever else your adventure demands.
Gone are the days when motorcycles were just about mechanical craftsmanship. The 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide® is loaded with next-level technology, designed to make every ride smarter, safer, and more entertaining.
Front and center is the 12.3-inch TFT touchscreen display—your command center for navigation, ride modes, and everything in between. Need directions? No problem. Want to switch up your ride mode for different road conditions? A few taps and you’re set.
Then there’s the Skyline™ OS, an infotainment system that’s always evolving thanks to Wi-Fi-enabled updates. And because no great ride is complete without the perfect soundtrack, the Rockford Fosgate® Stage II audio system brings concert-quality sound straight to your handlebars.
Nebraska’s roads aren’t exactly predictable. One moment, you’re cruising down a perfectly paved highway; the next, you’re dodging potholes and feeling the wind shift without warning.
That’s where the adjustable rear shocks come into play. With a quick preload adjustment, the bike adapts to changing conditions—so if you're riding solo or with a passenger, you’ll always have the right balance of comfort and control.
And with 47mm SHOWA® inverted front forks, handling stays smooth and precise, even when the road throws you a few surprises.
For those unpredictable Nebraska weather days, the selectable ride modes let you adjust the bike’s performance to match the conditions.
Being a member of a community is more important to Harley-Davidson® owners than simply owning a motorcycle. Additionally, if you live in Lincoln, you are aware of the thriving local Harley-Davidson® culture.
From group rides through the Platte River Valley to bike nights at your favorite local hangouts, the 2025 Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Street Glide® is a bike that fits right into the lifestyle.
