Default Vrod muscle...hideous

Hey not to be prejudice or anything, Ive never been a fan of the Vrod line, but the new '09 Vrod Muscle takes the cake in ugly factor IMHO. That "sport inspired" seat to the front end, the air intake looking thing and that huge exaust. I dont know, any Vrod owners gonna trade in for that thing?

Got rid of my 06 VRSCR as soon as I could afford to pay for how upside down I was.

I just watched the video on HD site and it looks pretty badass to me.&nbsp\\; It will likely be compared to the Yamaha/Star Warrior or VMax, but despite all the VRod haters, I'm glad HD is branching out.

I think it's the only thing worth talking about for the 2009 models.&nbsp\\; The Heritage looks ugly, and the Touring wheels are terrible looking.

Agreed on the Touring wheels, terrible.&nbsp\\; I don't have a problem with the VRod Muscle either.

VRSCF is an Ugly POS with fake air-scoops that makes less power than the others in the line...
