He's probably referring to the Muscle. A lot of people refer to that model as the "Vrod Muscle"

The only true Models that can be called a "V-Rod" are the VRSCA (the original), VRSCAW, (Wide Frame) VRSCB (Black) and VRSCSE (Screamin Eagle)
Other models are the "Muscle" (VRSCF), "Nightrod" (VRSCD), "Nightrod Special" (VRSCDX) and "Streetrod" (VRSCR)

What do you mean by 'Wide Frame' ?

Yeah, I meant the muscle and the night rod. I guess Vrod is the lineup and not the model.

I like a tire that I can corner on (no 240 for me) and brakes that have the power to stop a quick bike (Brembo) The only option for that combination is the 2006, which still has the 180 rear tire and Brembo brakes. I added an aftermarket tank to get me over 5 gallons, so I couldn't be happier with the bike.

I picked up a VRSCR (Street Rod) when they came out in 2006. Transitioning from a sport bike, I wanted something with zip that was still fun on the twisties. The R fit the bill. The increased ride height and mid set controls, allow for more sporty ride - its by far the most capable HD ever made, in my opinion. For some reason, HD didn't market it well and it died after model year 2007. You can find a clean one with low miles for well under $8K.

Welp, three month old thread, and the OP never came back. Wonder what he bought, if anything.
Found it: XR1200. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/sport...200-owner.html
I've read a lot that the VRSCR is a major sleeper, and the one true Harley "sportbike". Mid controls, and a rear tire that's not for show.
