Why isn't it a cruiser? Sure seemed like one to me.Then what is it? It isn't a cruiser...it sure as hell isn't a sportbike.
Nothing quite like "assumptions". Just the way you worded your reply acknowledges you know NOTHING about Vrods. So all you succeeded in proving was your ignorance.One reason I suspect they are cheap is that the PM they require is either incredibly expensive or a monumental pain in the ass. (Checking valves on the rear cylinder requires removing the engine.)
Honestly, if you want a sport-touring bike, the ONLY reason to buy a V-Rod is if you are a Kool-Aid drinker for H-D.
Why is an obviously Harley hater even here. I'd put up my stock Vrod against a Concours and clean it's fricken clock in the quarter, and maybe even the half.Try a Concours 1400...it's a rocket that will make the Vrod feel like a 250.Yeah I have been told the bike is a blast to ride due to the powerful motor. I've never owned a Harley, but the vrod is a Harley I could own.They are great bikes. My brother owned on and being the much more experienced rider I rode it with him on back, about 185lbs. worth. The engine is like a rheostat and pulls no matter what rpm you're at. I didn't get carried away with handling but it isn't a sport bike.
They just aren't seen as a "real" Harley, looks are very high up on the HD bandwagon. Image counts a lot and in order to impress fellow HDers you need the more traditional look.
The Harley hater continues to speak.... anyone have some Drano?There is no rational reason to buy a Vrod...there are any number of other sport-tourers on the market, most far superior.
Bullshit. A Concours 14 has a V-rod covered by THREE SECONDS in a 1/4 mile run!Why is an obviously Harley hater even here.

Harley riders are loyal. it's about a lifestyle and being perceived as "COOL". They don't want to be bothered with technology.
Are you drunk?The vrod is a UJM.
