This VSRC Look Like It Just Teleported Here From the Future
Thunderbike builds one of the coolest VSRCs that we've ever seen.
Best One Yet?
For some time now, Thunderbike, the German custom motorcycle builder, has been cranking out some pretty amazing two-wheelers. So it's no surprise that they've also applied their magic to Harley's VSRC, a bike that has attracted a rather large fanbase despite the fact that it was discontinued a few years ago. Thunderbike has built a few VSRCs in the past, but this one - dubbed Track Racer - might be their best one yet.

Dressed to Impress
Thunderbike calls its latest creation a "wolf in sheep's clothing," but to us, this thing isn't disguising its real intentions very well. The builder gave this particular V-Rod even more of a wicked look than it originally came with, and the result is an aggressive, futuristic-looking ride that's definitely dressed to impress.

Perfect Compliment
Much of that can be attributed to the gigantic rear tire, which is mostly uncovered thanks to a minimalistic fender. Like the much smaller front piece of rubber, it's wrapped around a Thunderbike Lowrider wheel, which is the perfect compliment to this bike's muscular styling.

Perfect Stance
No matter which angle you view this bike at, it has the perfect stance that makes it look like it wants to go, even when it's sitting still sans rider. We can credit a host of components for that, including Thunderbike's Kreuzfeuer swingarm and a Thunderbike Stealth body kit, to name a couple.

Laundry List
Other notable aftermarket parts include Thunderbike's Stealth radiator cover, a base rubber forward control kit and grips, RS toppers, an RS Alu clutch and master cylinder, Recall front fender, Time Crack front end, a relocated license plate frame with added lighting, and a Vegas pulley and disc brakes.

Reasonable Price Tag
The finishing touch is a nifty black and red color scheme, which fits this bike's aggressive style perfectly. The Harley's components alone cost around $7,200 as well, which isn't terrible if you're handy enough to install them yourself.

Room for Improvement
To us, at least, the end result is worth it. The VSRC lineup is already pretty awesome as-is, but this wicked build from Thunderbike proves that with the right parts, there's certainly room for improvement, even on this beloved platform.
