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

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.

If you get a Vrod, make sure you get one with forward pegs. I sat on one with mid pegs and my knees were practically up to my armpits.

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 that’s the only thing that matters

i have to admit, I’m not a fan of the VRod... but I’m also not a fan of dressers. But man, it is one amazing piece of machinery.
