I know a gal that has a V-rod with a shark nose on it. They wont stop making them, they are growing not declining in popularity

I can only have sympathy for your embellished lack of taste, but the ignorance of function is a mystery. It has the same frame and suspension as the Classic.

A lot of guys already have done it. And it looks good imo. Only complaints I hear is small gas tank and no passenger comfort. If the MOCO could fix those issue I would get one in a heart beat. I believe the no CVO as they change the models up every few years though.

Plus didnt this come up before???

Sounded kinda like a silly suggestion but those pics actually look good. Got my vote...even if it won't get my $$$.

maybe harley can come out with something like the old suzuki...3 cylinder, water-cooled, 2 stroke. had a couple of those, one with a bates handlebar fairing and one with a vetter windjammer fairing.
i would have to take a serious look at a v-rod touring bike with a frame mounted fairing if the moco ever introduces one.
