Reminds me of a Breakout on steroids. I couldn't handle that bugger like that guy does.

 

And I don't think I'd ride it on wet pavement!

 

I don't dig the ghetto/clown width tires on that, but do love the 'fat' bikes, though the Exile-style 230/15 rear with a 170/15 or 150/16 front is more my taste.

Not hatin' on the V-Rod, but a 200 or 240 rear with a 180 front would handle better & look less like a clown bike.

 

That frantic, nervous energy it has at idle reminds me so much of my Aprilia's 90° v-twin, like it's itching for some throttle input to just jet away.
Of course it about doubles the rpm's of that V-rod before it bounces off the rev limiter, that guy was hitting it with just a little throttle.
That thing has stupid power though, looks like it would be a bear to back into a parking spot.

 

Cool to watch, but for my money - no thanks.

The V-Rod was the engine that Harley needed today; it was perhaps a head of its time, for Harley, back when it was in the line-up.

Truth is, I would have bought one back then if it were not so raked out and had mid controls.

 

I think it looks cool as can be. I'm sure riding it anywhere there's a corner to turn would be a PITA but it would look good doing it. Some bikes are built for riding, some are built for looking cool, this one was built just because they could build it, never really intended for much street use.

 

They should have wrapped that drivetrain in an FXR like frame.

 

Thanks for the video.

 

Too bad it wasn't Harleys motor. It was designed and manufactured by Porsche, it was German made.

 

Not soley Porsche, HD helped design it too. It was a collaboration between the two companies.
