V-Rod yes or no?

[Sakeopete]

What do you guys think about the V-Rod? I haven't rode a real bike since I sold my ZX9R a few years ago. I love the look of the V-Rod and I'm guessing it would be more comfortable than a pure sport bike. Any opinions or first hand experience owning a V-Rod?

I'm looking at older ones as I don't like the style of the new model.

I think it would be ideal in Thailand. It doesn't sell well or hold its value well in the States like like the twin cylinder single pin crank versions do.

The engine is totally different from other Harleys and was designed by Porche. The whole bike sounds, runs, handles and looks more like a sports bike.

I've ridden them and they handle very well and are comfortable. The only thing you'll miss if you want to be a Harley guy is that single pin sound, but you'll gain some power.

Do you know if there is an issue with Harley's regarding the blended fuel in Thailand?

They move good.For the cc,the horse power is a lot more than the regular Harley Davidson.They don't have the same harley sound.Do ya want sound or power?

No problem using either gasohol 95 or benzine 95 but store the bike with benzine in it for long periods

Go for it, I've owned one for 3 years and I'm very impressed with the power comfort, downside for me is that it needs to have some V&H slip on to make it sound more like a Harley & some HD purists don't really regard it as a HD. - being liquid cooled and all that.

& Yes I also own a traditional HD Dyna, great bikes. Love 'em both

Was sitting at some lights last week on my scooter and one of these pulled up beside me, I thought it was a Vulcan at first listen.

A new Kawasaki Vulcan 900 would be a fun bike. I think they about 470k baht.

[Shurup]

I think Vulcan is 490K, would be just around 500K out the door including all paperwork.

V-Rod and Night Rod are the only 2 HD models I'd ever consider.

Really like the looks of the N-Rod.

hi, sorry i know its not what you asked but as the vulcan (custom) has been mentioned i thought id just have a quick vouch for it, previous owner did a great job on this to make it look a great deal better than custom. very comfy, great to ride and with a few mods can look and sound great n alot cheaper han a v-rod i guess. heres mine. im sure you'd be more than happy with a v-rod though if its what your after and happy with the price, you wont lose alot on re-sale anyway. cheers
