Bad Land Imagines What a Brand New Harley V-Rod Might Look Like
By Brett Foote

It's an older bike, but it sure doesn't look like one.

 

Look at that upholstered board seat, then look at where the handlebars and footpegs are in relation to the seat, and honestly tell me you could ride that thing bent double like that. Un-rideable art projects, made just to put behind plexiglass at Barber's or roll into Mecum's stages as click bait for millionaires, are anathemas to me.

 

Ergonomics don't appear much different than the original V rod. Doubled over describes it pretty well. After a few corners I felt better about it, but never rode one enough to say I liked it.

 

With a little photo editing we can now see this...thing. A little better, anywho.

 

Nope. New V Rod should be more like the Bronx they were talking about coming out with. In fact maybe just get rid of that stupid Bronx name and just call it the all new V Rod.

 

The VRSC was a unique point in time for the MoCo that shouldn't (and can't) be repeated.

And yes, they need a 1250 Rev-Max Bronx.
