RE: VRODS
I've had three metrics, the last one a cruiser wannabe. Never had the bikes for more than 3 months. Told myself the next bike will be the real deal, no matter how long it will take. Ten years later, I now have my Bob. I don't care if that M109R can go 200mph, I would take the Harley (any Harley) anytime.

I have an 04 Hayabusa and an 06 Street Bob. Like my kids, I couldn't pick one over the other. I love 'em both the same. Could never give either one of them up. Different personalities but both disireable in their own special way

The M109 is certainly not a harley..but it is an impressive machine nonetheless.

RE: VRODS
I think the V-ROD is more or less made to try and lure some sportbike riders into owning a Harley.Granted it isn't a crotchrocket,but more of a power cruiser.Aimed at sportbike riders looking for something diferrent ,but not yet ready to own a traditional air cooled V-Twin Harley.In my opinion if you're looking for power,performance,and something that handles like it's on rails you're not gonna look to Harley Davidson for a bike.

Based on what I saw in Daytona in March during bike week, V-rods are catching on. There was a ton of 'em everywhere I went. Women, and men of all ages riding these bikes.
I know my sport bike buddies who own some heavy duty suicide yamakawhonsuki cycles tend to rent these things from time to time for a change of pace and dig 'em but would never spring for one to actually buy one.
