Met a V-Rod on a quiet local road that follows a large river, he could follow but not catch me...anyhow; I was wondering just how fast the V-Rod's are; he seemed to be catching up ona couple of longerstraights. I hit about 120+ (205-210kph). I've ridden a couple of V-Rods but only on open flat roads; they seem to be real nice hi-per solo machines.....
