Default V-Rod Touring Bike

I saw this at Harley, it was made by a guy who works there. Although the test rack is in the area, maybe it is a new bike coming out. Hmmmm

Gotta' admit, that's one very cool bike! I wouldn't mind seeing it go into production.

With my luck it is one of those "special" tags and after running it I would have gotten a phone call from Tallahassee. No thanks, I will just keep looking at it. I am sure it isn't from the test track, the guy works at the dealership here in Naples. Nice looking bike though.

Looks OK, but it isn't geared right, the engine or trans, for touring riding. I'll wait until the MoCo comes out with one that is DESIGNED just for touring

A friend of mine rides the black one above and he says it's a great "straight line" bike but doesn't nearly compare in handling to the real HD Touring bikes. He's thinking of upgrading to the real deal, Road Glide. I really like his bike though, it looks bad if you ask me.
