i'm not really sure how to answer the question of whether I'm glad I bought a real Harley...the hate toward what other people ride gets pretty exhausting
vrod was a bad *** bike, there are plenty of them around here in the metro detroit area, watched one with a chrome tank go out the door from my dealership last week
the vrod baggers are pretty bad *** looking too.....my son's buddy rides with us occasionally and he's on a vrod....sounds great and he loves how it performs
Just got an '08 VRSCAW as my first bike (ABS mandatory for me). I really love it, been riding it a month, never plan to take "fast corners..." had some old-timer at The Rock Store yesterday go on and on and on and ON about how it's the wrong bike for me because I'm tall (5'9"). I wanted a Harley because I'm a die-hard fan and I wanted to meet others out in the community. Gee thanks, it's really fun to be told I have the wrong bike, super helpful (sarcasm intended)...
They just wanted to sell you another motorcycle.
My 1st Harley was a 2009 Vrod Muscle. I was 6ft 240lbs at the time. It is still one of my favorite motorcycles that I owned. Fit me perfect.
This is a really old thread that was bumped up to the top but I'll chip in and say I haven't owned but have ridden several VROD/Night Rods. One of my favorite bikes and I will for sure add one to the stable one of these days.
The guy I bought my very nasty little Dynamite from (and the Dyna is very quick and handles great) has a really big, really bad VRod. It is a Harley, it is fast, and as long as he digs it thats the only thing that matters
i have to admit, Im not a fan of the VRod... but Im also not a fan of dressers. But man, it is one amazing piece of machinery.
