I recently purchased a 2005 VRSCSE. It is way different than my 2010 CVO SG and a ton of fun to ride. Since I bought it, I have found myself riding it to work everyday instead of the SG. When I go on a longer ride or my wife goes, the SG is great but for shorter solo trips, the V-Rod is great.

The Vrod is a nimble riding machine and enjoyable after the modifications I performed.
I could not handle the clam form riding position and my long legs needed about 4 inches more of stretch.
My fuel consumption on the highway averages about 38 MPH with the performance heads and cams and tuned in with the Daytona Twin Tec III..

I'm also looking at the V-rod both are 08 specials one has 5500 miles Supertrap pipes abs ,alarm for $8k and the other has 8k miles for $8k but has bags and a small rack and bag on the back also has pipes and air cleaner work done. Also looking at a 2000 Deuce original owner 4500 miles for $5500 I hate making decisions I always wanted a Deuce but I sure like these V-rods.

The air ride is the only way to go! It made a believer out of me.
The Duece is a nice looking ride, if I had to choose between the two stock to stock, the Duece would win, BUT after my modifications the Vrod is my only ride.
I have owned many HDs, this is a unique work of engineering.

I had a Night Rod YESSSS
I think a 06 Night Rod (what I had) is perfect for a former sport bike rider. 120 hp, Brembo brakes, mid controls. Highway pegs for cruising. Cons are short fuel range, lack of aftermarket. The later models have a wider tire that actually hurts handling but they have a bigger engine and gas tank.
