I hear you on the metrics and I do own a couple because they're reliable and easy to work on. The Harley would be for cruising, not really hard riding. We'll see if they meet my offer. Otherwise, I can live without it.

 

which v-rod is it? harley makes a couple different versions. the night-rod is pretty cool looking, for a stock harley.

 

Thats the flat black and chrome one right? If so, those are sexy

 

the night rods are pretty much all blacked out.

 

Wow, im almost afraid to post with so many haters here.

Ive had both and currently own a Harley. Im not old and I like performance. How many of you nay-sayers have actually rode a Harley? I can tell not too many since some models are no slouch. Th V-rod will smoke the tire off the bike.

My feeling is where do you get to actually "ride" a sportbike? Nowhere really. The track is about the only safe option. I can still hit the twisties and have plenty of power to play with, plus ill enjoy the 600 mile ride there.

I loved the high rev's of the crotch rocket though. 14000rpm is music to my ears. The handling is superior, but you sit on your nuts and your wrists hurt.

I will get another sportbike soon, but for the track only.

I like the blacked out look. Still waiting on my black and billet shocks. may add some straightbars too. The day after I bought it I got hit at 40mph from the rear while stopped at a light. $1500 later and here it is. Very tough bikes.


During re-construction (with shocks I need, but wrong model.)

After the accident.

 

when I was a kid I rebuilt and restored hogs with my fother. he was big into them I just like metrics reliability. but you are on two wheels thats all that maters be safe

 

+1

 

Can i hump your bike?
