My 07 ultra needs to go under the knife and it's just too close to riding season to give another engine job my full atttention. So I pushed the ultra into my 8.5X18 trailer (shop on wheels) to get it out of the way. needed something to ride for a few months and was bouncing back and fourth between different brands and models. Wound up looking at a vrod and found the ride surprisingly cruiser didn't get a nija lean sensation at all. Might even keep it after the ultra is finisnhed.

 

The Vrods are fun and nimble cruisers. I had both an 06A and a 2010 Muscle (my past bikes) Def feels lighter compared to a touring bike and I had fun with both.

 

I'm enjoying the ride, too. We sold the '95 Ultra & bought an '03 V-rod recently. I wouldn't go back!

 

UNY you must love the influx of bikes in the summer!! My first trip on a bike was up to Alex Bay Mother's day weekend in 1979.

 

I thought I wanted a vrod and put a deposit on one while the ultra was getting a new motor. I have back problems and just could not take the riding position. I rode one with mids and one with forwards. And I would have gotten a lot of tickets

 

Yes, they've started to have some pretty good rallies here again lately! It's nice...except at 2AM when the bars close & they roar past the house! LOL
We didn't have a bike last summer but we still got over to Americade for a couple days. It'll be great to be on two-wheels again this summer.

 

I chomping at the bit for a new v-rod muscle.i want it for running around town.

 

Maybe i will go look at it again today and pull the trigger... Maybe???

 

If you can afford it, why not! Enjoy...

 

After almost 20,000 miles I got a little tired of the riding position of my 2009... Taller bars did the trick. The stock seat on the '07-'11 DX is great IMO, but I might sacrifice a bit of cushion to lower the base of it down a bit. Still, the stock position of the bike wasn't bad at all...
