Of course it is! Are the AMF Harleys, Harleys? Are the 2 stroke Sprint and Bobcat Harleys? Are Sportsters Harleys? Are Twin Cams Harleys? If it says Harley on it, it's a Harley.

Yes, just wish the MOCO would make a dresser version of it. I know you can get an aftermarket kit fr one, but the passenger seat selection is lacking.
If the MoCo would put a V-Rod motor in an Ultra style bike (for distance riding for both rider and passenger) I'd be the first in line. The motor has already proven itself, but needs a 6 speed OD tranny.

If I can own 3 Harleys, V-rod will be one of them.
