Will there ever be a day when we look back in admiration for what this bike brings to the HD family? I've owned em' all over the years..superglide custom, 1200 sporty custom, Crossbones, Road glide, and like T.G. Sheppard said "Loved em' Every One". Besides my 2000 Excelsior Henderson, there are few bikes that I'm drawn too like the V-rod. Let's here it from the purist(leave the water-cooled arguement out, been beat to death!) Why are we so hesitant to embrace...10 years later who would've thought?

 

Here's a helpful thread... https://www.hdforums.com/forum/gener...8793-vrod.html

 

I just did my part. I think the V-Rod is a sporty old farts bike. I'm sure it going to be fun to ride but not the heart pounding excitement of a ZX10R, R1 or GSXR. I think the same generation gap that separates the Japanese bikes and the V-Twins is in play here.

Rode my friends 2008 Night Rod Special, liked it and considered buying one until I found the Ducati Diavel. For basically the same cost, the Duc just offers so much more. There's also the V-max.

If you're looking for a sport/power cruiser, I suppose there are just better options.
