Great deals can be had and no, they don't hold their value both for the same reason. VRods are watercooled so they are not considered Harley's to Harley purists so they have a very small following and are hard to sell.

The airheads do not know what they are missing!
I did not buy it for the resale, and I never looked into it. I bought it to ride it for a very long time.

Might want to look at a used V-rod. You can find a bunch with low miles and about half their new price. This year I bought a used '05 Screaming Eagle for under $12k - looks and runs great! V-rods are very nice machines, and they are a great handling bike as well. Haven't ridden 2-up on it yet, but I doubt it measures up to a touring bike for passenger comfort.

It is funny how I got such a great deal on mine ... it was 4 months after I had first seen it on Craigslist. The buyer still had it and said that no one believed there was nothing wrong with it for the price. It was literally never riden in the rain. I cannot say that now though!

2 up riding on an '12 V-rod
I'm a long time lurker on this board and a brand new owner of a Night Rod Special, (black denim). Most of the pads and sissy bars go up to '11.
Do any of you have experience with the new ones for a '12?
I appreciate any input.

I could be wrong but I don't think there were any real changes between 11 and 12. So they might just take time to update the part numbers to reflex the 12.
