Hi there
 \\;\\\\\\;
I am looking a buying a 2003 V-Rod, and have noticed that there are quite a few for sale here in Australia. Is there something I should be aware of with these models? Were there any particular faults with these early models \\;that are causing so many people to sell them? Or maybe it's the fact the US and Australian economies are not looking pretty and people are just flogging their bikes to have a bit of extra cash. Or maybe they are just upgrading to the 1250cc models with the 240mm fat on the back?
 \\;\\\\\\;
Thanks
Michael
Just sold my 03 a few months ago. Loved that bike. No issues whatsoever. Don't think the 1250 will out perform the 1130 one bit.
Only aggrivating issue is the fuel gauge is irratic but that's an easy fix and the smaller fuel tank is such that you need gas every 100-120 miles........other than that, Go for it. Great Scoot.
