Default My first Harley!!!
I've been on the market for a new Vrod Night Rod Special. Went to the international bike show in Toronto over the weekend. In the whole show floor there were only 2 night rod specials. One was a 2012 and the other 2008.

I purchased the 2008 for less than the half price of the new one. And it only has about 15000 kms. Comes with 5k warranty, brand new tires, alarm system etc... I can not wait for warmer weather to go for a rip

Enjoy the pics.

Good looking ride!
Be prepared for a bit of agony when you go to remove the tank bra. Those things are hell on the paint.

Congrats to you - will definitely like the "spunk" of those VRods. Agree on the tank bra...especially on denim. I'd remove and, if not marked, install clear wrap under area where seat/tank meet.

Enjoy that new-to-you scoot!!
