I have a perception (which might be wrong) that the V-Rod does not sell as well or perhaps are not as popular as models powered by the Twin Cam engine. Based on all the positive comments in this thread, is there a reason why V-Rod hasn't sold as well as Touring/Dyna/Softails?

Congrats on the new bike. I've always been a fan myself.

You're perception is correct.
It doesn't matter though if you love it be happy and f what other people think.

Yea, I'm not trying to rain on the parade, V-Rod looks cool and has performance well in excess of any TC powered bikes. Just wondering why VR hasn't caught on.
