Harley Davidson V-ROD night special Bike Test

In collaboration with the engineers at Porsche, the Milwaukee firm took a hard look at their 21st century motor. The new twin-cylinder tan powers the V Rod range makes prior Harley engines look more like tractor motors. 105 brake horsepower and 100 Newton metres of torque...

    The only thing that would suck about getting a bike in Europe, is finding the weather to ride it in lol! They all must be good rain riders lol.

    Such a cool looking bike but purely out of riding position i couldnt deal with this thing. Took it out for a 20 mile spin a year ago and i can still vividly remember being very uncomfortable on this thing. fine if you dont live in the city or just drive around to pose.. but for serious long distance riding..forget it. wished they would bring one out that has mid controls and just slightly higher

    She’s no VMAX

    Put 1200 miles on a vrod in just 4 days. I thought it wasn’t too bad on long trips… torque is outstanding, so is the sound and handling. Easy bike to handle, and rocket fast for a cruiser.

  • AkumuX says:

    The V-Rod is the 2nd fastest power cruiser. You win. V-Max (2009) is the fastest. Sorry.

    V-Rod, V-Max (85-08), Valkyrie. Magna, Warrior, Vulcan 2000, M 109, Rocket III all solid bikes and will all be nipping on your heels (or passing you.)

  • AkumuX says:

    V-max compete with Busa and ZX-14? WTF? It tops out at 140mph! It doesn’t like the corners. It weighs more. It costs more. It’s a different class of bike. (Power Cruiser vs Hyper Bike) What competition?

  • dcpvmax says:

    Both the generation 1 and 2 Vmaxs, the Rocket 3, and the B-King are all faster than the V-rod. BTW, Yamaha didn’t make a Vmax in ’08. Lastly, I never lost to V-rod on my stock Vmax, and the Vmax corners awsome and as for your comment above. I can’t remember what I wrote a year ago, so I don’t have a clue what you’re tring to tell me.

    Repeat the Hardley (yes, HARDLEY) pledge after me…
    We believe in Windshields and Poker runs because we are pussies…
    We believe in following each other around and compare how many dollars we wasted on chrome faggotry….
    We believe in exhausts that make our asses vibrate because we like the tingle…
    we believe in purchasing an image we cannot earn on our own….

    Ride like you stold it bitch!

  • NRLR89 says:

    that’s why they made custome seats…

  • aj0049 says:

    ya, AND Yamaha didn’t have to go to another company to help build their engine. so another +5 points for Yamaha.

  • mission100uk says:

    what i mean is that the riding position is not comfortable as in your legs are way stretched out as well as your arms…clamshell

  • AkumuX says:

    Dude, I’m NO Harley fan. I’m saying what I’ve seen from numerous magazines and dyno numbers. I don’t ride a power cruiser. So it’s the 09 V-Max, whatever. Notice how I telling the Harley lover these bikes will nip/pass him? So the V-Rod is the 6th fastest power cruiser. That POS could be the 20th for all I care.

  • THEBREEZED says:

    must be in a rush to local scrap yard how do they get a m o t in this country big back hander there to some mp who own a second harley on expenses

  • 1981rocketman1981 says:

    The rocket 3 is faster than the v rod! I know I own one! Not buy much but it is! as for the new v-max my buddy just took delivery of his 3weeks ago! its not run in yet so he is being ginger with the right wrist, but we think its going to be close! Used to have 85max loved it! That would still also give a v-rod a run for its money!…

  • CyberToolhtiger says:

    Sorry for all the bad comments i have made ..forgive me?
    I cannot say when the last Harley-Davidson will be built, but I believe the Last Biker will be riding a Harley Davidson.

  • Maverick9231 says:

    coolest bike I’ve ever seen….

  • itsgaythatyourgay says:

    lol @ the music

  • vinnym24 says:

    I’ve found that on all the bikes that I’ve ridden, feet forward is much more comfortable. The cornering they talk about is a result of the big back tires which is a trade off for looks.

  • 75cowie says:

    i have a night rod and it,s a great machine,i put a vance & hinzes exhaust and power comander it added 25bhp and is rapid and smooth

  • Brados87 says:

    at 3:52 the waker turns around and checks the v-rod out, thats cool, now thats something speical, altho this v-rod needs louder exhausts

  • kaduzit95 says:

    the bike of my dreams

  • Smultring911 says:

    3:05 – Quasimodo stole the V-Rod lol
