Harley-Davidson V Rod Summary

The Harley-Davidson V-Rod was first launched in 2009. When launched, the motorcycle was considered quite an important model as it featured a liquid-cooled engine instead of the typical air-cooled engines that were used in all others Harleys during the time.



Designed to make an imposing presence but with modern looks and respectable performance, this bike is stands out in the classis Harley line up. It gets a fastback style tail section, a fat rear tyre , low-rise handle bar, double-barrel exhaust and a blacked out look overall.

Power comes courtesy the 1250cc V-Twin engine which puts out around 120bhp and 111Nm of torque, giving the rider plenty of grunt on the road. Weighing nearly 300 kilograms, the V-Rod is quite hefty for its size although Harley-Davidson promises stable and reassuring handling thanks to the log wheelbase and fat rubber tyres both at front and the rear.

The V-Rod competes against the recently introduced Triumph Thunderbird Storm and the Rocket 3 Roadster.

      Harley- best comforts and riding experience in my life

      21 weeks ago


      Devvrat Kumar

      It was the best ever experience to buy or ride this bike because it gives you the best ever comforts of riding as compared to any other bike. It has the best features, looks, and the best performance. It's quite hard to service but not so. This bike has a lot of pros and no cons except the servicing and maintenance. So I prefer it to buy and feel the best comforts.

      Harley davidson night rod with vance & hines exhaust

      4 years ago


      Arvind

      I absolutely love this bike and truly own a collectors item, now that hd motorcycles has stopped producing this beast. I have clocked only 1100 kms. You are right, i have barely used the bike as i have always been travelling and hence decided to part ways with this incredible machine.
