Night train vs. Night rod???????

Apples and oranges is right.
If you ride mostly around town, you will probably have more fun on the VROD. Even for touring, if you ride solo, the VROD is fine (a seat replacement is a must though - I am very happy with the Sundowner for the VROD). If you ride 2-up, the VROD leaves a lot to be desired. Like the man said, try to test ride them both before you buy, and let us know when you pull the trigger.

Interesting, sounds familiar to me. I looked really hard at a night rod with a 260 tire on it balcked out and also looked at a night train hard a couple years ago. Then I saw a heartland catalog with a rocker on the front. Decision was made!!! My buddy offered me his 06 big dog with a 300 and 117 in it for 15k which is what I payed for my rocker with 600 miles on it. I rode the big dog and LOVED the power, but carburated vs FI and chrome vs PC made my decision easier.
Regardless of what you get, you will be happy because you will spend a shtload of money on it and make it how you want it.
