If I bought a Harley...that would be the one for me. I've actually looked at them and considered it but have never ridden one.

Now on the other side of that, if I were in the market for a Harley, the V-Rod would probably be it. No matter how you slice it, cool videos!!!!
It also weights twice as much plus a great deal longer wheelbase.

True...of course, I could point out that I could wheelie my '88 V-Max at least that well... In fact, I believe that they did a comparo when the V-Rod first came out and the V-Max kicked it's ass!! Again, that being said, if I were to buy a Harley, this would be the one for sure!!!

i gotta disagree with you guys, i like the vrod's power but it fails when the road aint straight. if i had to pick a harley it'd be an XR with termi highmounts. def looking forward to that xr onemake series in bsb next year

Yeah I know what you mean but mine would be in addition to my R1 so I'd still get the VRod and probably a fat rear tire kit as well. The wife...in addition to her R6 wants the Victory Kingpin 8-Ball.

I haven't seen the XR with the Termi's so I'll have to check that out.

Same here, if I were to ever own a harley or any cruiser, it would be in addition the the sportbikes already in the garage.
