Opinions Comments on the V-Rod

Chucktx,

You certainly know how to get everyone all bothered with the ladies! Good job, they are cool!

Regarding your comment about deals on 07 left overs, I'd like to investigate it in more detail. Here in New Jersey, I am already being told that they do not have any leftovers, and that they are very hard to come by. I think that is a bunch of BS, but sales people are not to be taken very seriuosly, they are under orders from management to get the customer on the most expensive bike they can sell, thereby their comments.

Once again, the technology behind the bike and its looks, is the way forward for the Motor Company, as to why they have not installed one of these engines in some of the other models is beyond me. We shall see.

Looks uglier than Hell... JMHO!!!

If I had enough money and a big garage, I'd buy a V-Rod. I wouldn't have it as my only bike. I'd stay away from the Nightrod model; very uncomfortable and unstable at low speeds. The Streetrod is very comfortable and fun to ride, except that they still haven't figured out how to manage the exhaust on the right lower leg. If you wear cowboy or engineer boots that are high on your calf, you should be fine. If you're one of those shorts and sneaker riding kind of guys - forget about it.

Everyone said I looked really hot on the V-Rod, so that didn't hurt my opinion either.

Thanks for the comment and I understand that not everyone is into this ride. I will keep this in mind when I have a closer look tomorrow.

Hot01,

I have been given the same advice, the nightrod is truly a hot rod and a serious departure for the Motor Company as far as the bling factor is concerned. I am after the VRSCA V-Rod. So I don't know what your thoughts are there.
No, I am a safety freak, Bohn Armor Pants high leather boots and reinforced vented riding jackets, none of that short and sneakers deal. I'm not out there to look cool, I just want to be safe.

Glad to know that you looked good on the bike!!

:roflmao: Chuck! Thanks for the ego boost.

I was wondering if German is aware that I'm a chick.

Oh FLHT, will you marry me? I would love to have that bike in exactly that color. I thought it was called the Springer Classic though.

FLHT Good Lokin Ride!!!!!!!!!!!! How far are you from Eugean OR?

My Wifes sister lives in Eugean she is an OBGYN nurse. We are planning a ride next summer up your way may stop in and visit?

Hot01,

Yes I knew that when I checked your profile. I am still glad you looked hot on V-Rod, maybe I'll get it and let you ride it. That way I can have a picture of a hot chick on my bike???

FLHTbiker,

I have another question for you and the forum?

How come you can not request from Harley that the frame be painted the same color as that of the fenders and gas tank. Is this only done for the CVO bikes only?

I have a friend that works for PPG inside of the York, PA assembly plant, he went on to explain that becasue the frames are powder coated, they are only working on black frames only, but it may be considered in the future.

Perhaps Harley should listen to the customer's requests sometime? What do you think?

FLHTbiker,

Very nice ride indeed. How many miles on that machine? I guess you guys have far more open roads in Oregon, than us poor souls here in the East Coast?

Just to provide an update to everyone on the forum, I have made up my mind and decided to bite the bullet on a new VRSCAW V-Rod. I am scheduled to pick it up this coming Thursday afternoon. Hopefully, weather will hold up, so I can ride it from PA to NJ. Finding a V-Rod in New Jersey has become a task as oppose to a pleasure. Went to Dean's HD and those guys were simply amazing. As a result I road tested one for about 40 miles in one of the windiest days, I have ever ridden. Can not say enough about it. I was sold on the spot.

I have selected a Candy Red Sunglow for my new bike, I went with this, because a Super Glide in the delaership with the same color, made me realize how cool looking it would be. I am adding some more bling to it, and I am pretty sure, I am keeping the Harley Classic flavor on a bike, where everyone seems to think, it is not a Harley. I will post images later.

In the meantime, I am adding the HD Official image as a preview.
