I kinda like it too. If it didn't remind me of a taxi and had mid mounted pegs, I'd like to try one on.

The only way to improve a V rod is what they did the Buell Blast:

Not against the V rod engine, just the package around it.

TOO MANY EGOS being bruised at the MOCO is the only thing keeping the V rod alive. Two models this year, one the next, then....

I was at a bike show last weekend at Man O' War Harley, in Lexington, KY and one of the entries was a V-Rod chopper. Pretty nice. Not a V-rod fan, so I didn't take a picture.
