I would like to have it in my RK.

 

There are bagger vrods out there.

 

It's nice to know that because my 1300cc+ bikes have more cubes than my 1983 Yamaha 750 that I pay double the insurance when they have half the power of said 750.

I don't think the Vrod motor is the answer because they're doing something wrong if it only gets 35mpg, but bring it up to 45 or so then we have a conversation.

 

My FXDB and Suzuki DR650 cost about 235 a year insurance with extra coverages.

I quoted a fz09 and it alone added almost 600.

Edit: I priced a Yamaha xsr900 which is same motor As fz09 and it was half as much.

It's how the bike is classified. A woman at work has a honda cbr250 and she pays 400 year for that because it's listed as a sport bike.

 

I was hoping that Harley would modify, re-tune, re-cam the Vrod engine for the new Road Glide after it's year's hiatus.

 

Nope.

 

That would kill sales.

 

yeah, not surprising since you don't think that torque has anything to do with moving your bike....

125hp don't mean squat to me if I gotta rev it to 10k rpm just to get moving.

 

Exactly; that's kinda why they don't just use Ferrarri motors in Kenworths...

 

Nope. Never been a fan of the V-rod or the engine. That porsche, Harley bastardization can go to the grave.
