Default Hi guys
Always been a big sportbike guy, finding myself more fond of cruisers now too. I've always like the vrods, just thought I'd register here to learn more. My favorite cruiser would be something custom but that just isn't feasible. I'm also looking at some japanese cruisers, but the vrod vrsc looks really attractive to me.

My main question I guess is how reliable are these? I've heard terrible things about HD reliability just wondering if things have changed in recent years at all.

Thanks guys. Look forward to getting to know all of you.
