Their have been several updates to the V-Rod over the years, some of them are transmission forks,wheel tire size,battery,fuel tank,engine size and clutch just to name a few.

Depends what you want. There was some minor problems with the first few years something with the fuel delivery that's pretty easily corrected... and the pre-brembo breaks kind of suck...

If you want Anodized go for it... otherwise I'd recommend an 06 with Brembos/last year of aluminum tins and all around lighter bike... I'd go for 06 or 08/09... but they are all great.

If I was going to buy a V-rod right now, I would buy an orange 05 SE, swap out for Brembos, put in a Rick's tank, and do a budget 240. You got the best of everything -- or you could get an 06 SE and just add the bigger fuel tank, but I prefer the 05's looks better.

They are still way overpriced...

I'd get an 08 or later if you want something with forwards, 07 if you want a Street Rod

...maybe an 06 with brembos...

Beyond that, I'd look for something beyond "stock".

The qouted project could cost you 20k+ all said and done... there was an 05 locally here that just sold for 20k... it was purple though... all stock...

...you could find a nice modded, pretty loaded 06ish V for around 10...
