The Condition
- Special paint scheme

- Leather seats
- Lots of exterior chrome
- Incredible condition
As this Harley has only covered 495 miles from new and is kept in a garage when not in use, you can imagine that the overall condition will be amazing. When you set eyes upon the bike, you will not be disappointed, it has an amazing street presence and looks incredibly comfortable to get on and take for a cruise.
If we start by looking at the area where you will spend most of your time, the cockpit, we can see that from the outset it is very clean indeed. The seat looks like it will cradle you very comfortably, with extra back support you will get off of this bike as fresh as a daisy. If you have a companion for your adventures, then they too will be cradled by the large leather pillion seat that even has built in speakers.
Speaking of speakers, this bike is filled with tech that you would expect to find on a car, not a bike. The rider will benefit from heated grips, satellite navigation, cruise control, heated seats, and an intercom system so you can speak to your passenger with ease. With so few miles completed, all of these systems still work as they should.
As you ride along all of your vital riding information is displayed clearly thanks to the bank of analogue dials. These will provide you with information that relates to your, air temperature, oil pressure, battery voltage, and of course your speed. These should be easy to read as you cruise down the ‘highway’ on a long trip.
If we now take a step back from the bike, we can take in the sheer beauty that is the Electraglide CVO. Finished in a special two-tone paint job and dripping with chrome everyone will know that you have arrived. Unsurprisingly the condition of the outer panels and chrome are in amazing condition. Let’s not forget that they have not had to experience the road conditions that somewhat affect chrome.
If you have owned bikes in the past, you may know that storage can sometimes be a bit limited. Thankfully, this bike is filled with solutions to this problem. You will see, towards the rear, three large pannier boxes. You could easily get a few shopping bags in there, or should you wish to tour you may be able to get a couple of soft bags in them.
It may be a big bike, but with all of the rider aids, it shouldn’t be that difficult to get straight on and cruise along happily down the road.
Thanks to the lack of miles this bike has completed over the past 18 years, it is now presented in amazing condition for you. Wherever you wish to display or store this example, it will look incredible sitting there.
The Mechanics
- Screaming Eagle 110ci
- Less than 500 miles from new
- Starts first time
Although the exterior and cockpit of this bike were special, it is what sits in between your legs that is the most special part. The thumping great 1.8l V-Twin provides oodles of power and torque that make for one great bike to ride.
This is no normal Electraglide, this is a CVO version. As such the engine has been breathed on slightly by Harley Davidson’s tuning arm, Screaming Eagles, this means that the bike has more power and is even better at cruising along the long and boring motorways.
If the bike wasn’t already rare and sort after enough, the lack of miles on the odometer should surely pique your curiosity. Although the current owner has used the bike sparingly it has already had a few oil changes, several inspections, and a few MOTs. The latter is important to show that this mileage is genuine.
On the day of the photos, we wheeled the bike out of its dry storage area, and it fired into life straightaway on the button. It sat there idling nicely producing its characteristic and earth pounding deep rumble.
As soon as you swing your leg over this bike you know that you are riding something special. You will be able to create many happy memories long into the future.
Not only is this bike a limited build, but it also has extremely low mileage on the clock. This is an extremely rare combination to come across so why not make it your own, it’ll be a talking point that’s for sure.
This bike has been looked after well by the current owner, the baton now passes to you. If you treat it well, it will treat you to some of the best and most memorable rides of your life.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
