The bike's gotten a lot of attention lately. This weekend, at a stop light I got honked at and a thumbs up from a dude in a car. Yesterday, a store proprietor who's a HD guy told me I had a beautiful bike. When I parked outside of a sushi place in Austin (on the sidewalk, like the douchebag that I am), people stopped and looked. Two couples took pictures of it. Funny thing is, it's barely modded, LOL. That makes me **** proud of my bike

What are your thoughts of the V ROD? I made the mistake of sitting on a Night Rod ...

The V-Rod is the best Harley that Harley never made. It's a Porsche engine and they run danm good.

feaux tank, gas tank under the seat, low sitting position, and it felt light ... it was pure sex. And he paid less for his than I did for mine. Shucks

I think the Vrod is a sexy looking machine but I don't care for the riding position, I've got a buddy that has his in the shop now having it turned into a bagger

I think bagging a VROD is counter-intuitive, but the at least the ones I've seen aren't ugly.

I think it's meant for taller people, but one can always mod it to your liking. I don't have any immediate plans to get one and am liking the fact that I'm always getting compliments on the Stryker. Neat thing is nobody knows what a Stryker is :thumb:

my co-worker just picked up a 2002 v-rod. he's not really a harley die hard but thought he got a good deal....

then today (got my stryker friday) i parked next to him for the first time. he was PISSED. the stryker is a LOT longer (bigger) and he's 6'4" like I am. he was overheard bitching about his bike during lunch that he got a 11 year old bike and paid more than i did for a new bike that he likes better.

i think he'll be parking elsewhere the rest of the summer.

Primeral, that is a beautiful bike, much more so than the V Rod. Personally I don't care for their look although I do hear that it is a great running engine.

That's odd, resale on VRODs suck because HD diehards treat VRodders as redheaded stepchildren, and they are ridiculed into buying something aircooled

My friend stole his 2008 for $8k. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little envious but I love my bike and I'm not losing any sleep. Still, 5 gallon tank, 120+ hp, and not-quite a Harley (at least it has the badge for the badge whores in tight clothing, yesss) ... sounds like one is in my future, LOL.

Wayne, thanks a million!
