Wife is looking at a new vrod and just wondering how close we are in the long run. My WG is a 2013 w/ 103ci, short shots, stage 1 intake, power vison 2. So, where are we? Close? I know as of right now i will out ride her but if it were me vs. me

 

The Rod would smoke u. If you regeared your bike and motor work tables would be turned.

Rode my buddies muscle w/ fuel pak and competition pipe and it's a bad machine!....not for me but it's a badass bike.

V-Rod has 110+ hp compared to a stage 1 103 of around 80 and below.

 

I took a friend's Vrod for a joyride...didn't like it. Too cramped [I'm 6'1 btw]. The braking was excellent though, and the speed wasn't bad...for a Harley. If you were to race "me vs. me" like you said you'd kick your *** with the Vrod every time.

 

So is there something wrong with wife having a faster bike lol. Wide glide looks better so I wouldn't worry about it .

 

Vrod is wicked fast, nothing else that HD makes is keeping up with it.

I would guess you would need to drop serious coin at your bike to even keep up, and probably never faster. And she could turn around and put a couple of bucks into the Rod and be faster then you again.

 

Hahah no nothing wrong with it since she won't use it to be fast haha

 

I have a Street Bob and my wife has a Nightrod, nothing comes close to Vrod as far as the performance goes, Rods are qicker and faster hands down.

 

Compairing a WG to a Vrod is like Compairing a pinto to a corvette. Two totally different class of bike.

 

I wouldnt be so sure about that. Once she gets her confidence and skills up, will smoke you in a straight-line, just so much easier to go fast on the vrod.

I have a 1994 yammy vmax, and that still goes like a bat out of hell. Just twist and hold on.

 

Yep you gonna get smoked sooner or later most definitely in front of everyone.
