Well, got a Vrod Muscle as a loaner for two weeks while my SG is being fixed due to the recall. If it's cool, would you guys mind if I lurk about? Really fun bike to ride.
To me the VRSC is the only Harley I would own... it is not your usual bucket of bolts (no offense intended to anyone) -- it is a solidly build machine that breaks the paradigm on motorcycle design. I don't believe in flashy chromium (I am anti-chrome) or skulls that light up, etc. all BS to me. I am into functional-performance-based-beauty -- if you can find beauty in that. It is sleek and low and makes efficient use of space. I think very leading-edge and in fact making the way for future Harley machines which are going to liquid cooled engines as well. When I come out of a store/pub, etc. there is generally a crowd around my bike -- all of them in awe and full of questions.
