I guy I work with just ordered one.  He should take delivery late OCT/early NOV.  Still not too sure how I feel about V-Rods in general.  They look cool, I guess, but I still prefer my SERK.

The dual exhaust is odd looking. Makes me think of the Sportster Cafe Racer

If I bought one the first thing to go would be the pipes. I like the tail light and the fat tire.

Was at the dealership on Friday and they had a silver Muscle on the floor.  Had the salesman start it up, and you're right DC, those pipes would have to go!  They really make the bike sound anemic.  Very quiet and "Goldwing-like".  (Not that there's anything wrong with Goldwings.)

My DX sounded weak with the stupid stock thermos jug they hang off of them.

The cure was easy - black pc Thunderheader.  The thing's a beast now.

I really like V-rod's but I don't care much for the "Muscle" from what I've seen in pics at least.  Figured I'd hold out final judgment til I see one in person.  Agreed that the exhaust is the strangest design feature.  Again, nothing at TH setup wouldn't cure.

I like certain features but I don't think the bike works overall.  Those odd things hanging off the airbox cover are probably the worst.

The bike really looks good in person. A Thunder Header would really wake it up though. There are a few other things I might do if I owned one.

I saw one last week in Charleston. Not a V-Rod fan but I kinda liked this one. THE MUFFMAN

I'm not a big V-Rod fan either, but I think the MoCo did a good job with the "Muscle".  I do like the looks of it and the fat azz-end on that bike with the LED tail light strips on it, looks really mean.

 

[JMS]

I think they did a good job on this scoot...

I really like the tail light.... I might look for one like that to fit my springer

[amigo Jorge]

I like more the model....the dealers are giving a poster with her and the bike......

[AZSSE]

Thanks for the great pics !! I would have really looked good on one of those about 20 years ago. HaHa

[REGGAB]

Nice machine, but.......it is still a waterhead.

Nothing against your great photographic abilities but,

YAWN!

                                     

  Thanks Jock nice pics.  I don't mean to open a can of worms here, but man you guys sure are tough.  Reminds me of the days when we segregated all the bikes.   Remember: You can't ride with me ... "It's only a rice rocket",  "Not with a Sportster", "Electric start is for sissys".  Look at the amenities we use now

   Seems to me we have all ridden something else at one time.  I thought the Vrod was the first Harley that could burn up a tire (without holding brake) and pull up the front end the MOCO produced.  We all liked the idea the MOCO finally was thinking about something to hang with the rice rockets.

   Even after buying the top SE's and investing untold thousands in motor work the "Rice Rockets" are still faster out of the box.  I don't have a vrod and I can't seem to fall in love with it either.  However, I do love it for its reason.  I have seen some real fine examples too after some mods.
