Air cooled Harley's are trying to be phased out by the man because of emmissions. The Vrod is the Bike and engine Harley will use into the future.
Classic or cutting edge! take your pick!

For me, no questions, I'd go with the Deuce. The blue ones look really nice. Not sure what he spent $3,000 on in mods though.

I've ridden them both. The V-Rod handles and performs like no other Harley. Kind of a cross between a Ninja sportbike & a Road King. Almost twice the horses of the deuce. The only negative is that it just doesn't look right in front of the watering hole!
The deuce is classic HD. Looks great! Even if it can't hold a candle to the VRod performance!

Cant' go wrong with the S.E. Deuce no matter what color. V-rod's are not holding value as well. That is a good buy on the deuce, they are doing that much on e-bay.

I would go with the Deuce, but that is just personal preference. The V Rod just looks too Metric for my taste.

While I like the concept of the liquid cooled VROD engine and the engine itself looks OK, I didn't like the powerband, the absence of sound (potato, potato, potato...) and the riding position bothered my shoulders. It was like HD is not sure if it is supposed to be a Buell or a cruiser... Finally, the radiator hanging out front still looks like an after thought, so I guess (if you couldn't tell) I would go with the Deuce deal.

I'd vote for the Duece, but you are asking a pretty biased crowd here!

Go with what you like....
