It'll be back just as sure as Old Coke came back after New Coke.

August 2014!


The "Shark" will be back. Just so all the naysayer batwingers can be pissed off again.

Just like the Dyna "low rider" but sooner.

Many moons ago, someone on the vrod forums posted a link to the US Patent office website, with a complete breakdown of two future vrod engines. One was a 120 inch version, and I believe the other was around 130 inches, both had patents pending. It will be interesting to see how Harley plays this in the near future, after all now they have fit radiators to the touring bikes. Could be time for the next gen rebirth of the shark.

Now that would be sumthin!

I for one hope they don't get to crazy with the redesign. No need to fix it until it's broke. They had a successful design, keep with that and tweak it. Don't kill it and make the Roadie something TRULY ugly.

Won't be putting a vrod motor in a 900 lb touring bike.

I'm going to play devils advocate here and say: why not? The stock vrod motor produces more Hp and torque then the current touring motors despite being about 400cc's smaller.
