Hello,It is time to part with my super fast Harley VRod :( It has all of the speed of a crotch rocket but not the comfort for the wife! This bike has been pampered and garage kept with no rust or blemishes! Tires have less that 200 miles on them and a new Harley battery is being installed this week. Please call or text with questions.From Cycle World:Basic specs: An 1130cc, dohc, 60-degree, fuel-injected V-Twin making 120 horsepower and 80-foot pounds of torque in a standard-style chassis with upright ergonomics, sport-tuned suspension, Brembo brakes and sticky tires.Why it won: The Street Rod never won a Ten Best award and was only in the H-D lineup for two years. Evidently, the vast majority of Harley fans had little use for a very sporty V-Rod.Too bad, because this one was arguably the best and most versatile V-Rod ever built. On a backroad, the Street Rod could rip through corners better than any road-legal Harley up to that time, yet it was comfortable, easy to maneuver and ideal for everyday commuting or weekend exploring. The Porsche-designed engine was--and still is, in current V-Rod models­--one of the smoothest, most captivating and civilized V-Twins the industry has ever seen, with a powerband that begins when the engine first burbles to life and ends when the rev limiter kicks in.Useful resources: Because of the small number of Street Rods sold during its two-year run, there are only a few forums that even mention them, and none are exclusive to that model; they either deal with all V-Rods or even all H-D V-Twins, with a section devoted to Street Rods. One is /forums; another is /forums/harley-davidson-v-rod. There are quite a few reviews of the VRSCR, along with accessories, some performance gear and other equipment available to fit this model. And, of course, a number of Street Rods for sale.A lot of riders would shy away from a H-D model that only enjoyed a very brief and not particularly successful existence, but they might be surprised to discover that the Street Rod is one of the best-kept secrets in all of motorcycling.
