Looking to buy my first Cruiser, finally giving up the sport bike. I like to ride long distances, i was told that the night rod is not good for traveling great distances, i should look into the street glide instead.. Any advice??
1 answer from a 7 year old thread? You must have really been searching.
it was on front page, I think this site randomly pops up old threads sometimes or I scrolled to far down and it put me on a related thread from one I was one?

Alex what do you consider long distances? A few hours is easily doable on a Vrod specially if your coming from a sportbike.. Coast to coast kinda of riding then yes a touring bike like the street glide would be more enjoyable. I also came from the sport bike world with my Yamaha R1. I also had a 2017 StreeGlide but wanted a lighter weight cruiser.
That is a NIGHT ROD SPECIALS (VRSCDX), The NIGHT ROD (VRSCD) HAD THE 180 NARROW REAR TIRE and MID CONTROLS The years for the NIGHT ROD (VRSCD) was 2006-2008 model year.
They really did a good job customizing the look. I should have bought one and did the same mods. It is the way Harley should have done it for a modern bobber. Bring back the VROD. I am sure they still have the tooling. Dont sell it outside the US so it doesn't have to comply with euro 5.
My kids got me my dream NRS for my birthday! Ive had it for 3 months and finally got my endorsement. Been riding with friends with my permit up until the 27th of June. Every minute on this is priceless!
