Truth be told I'd take the new Vrod Muscle over the standard. It's got an inverted fork, ABS stadard, a cleaner rear fender and A SLIPPER CLUTCH.

Never been a fan of the Vrod, but that black one is badass. I' think someday I will have a Street Glide for long trips. Best looking model IMHO

That's the Vrod I rode at the demo.

It's also considerably more expensive.

Marko... A good quick and accurate review of the Night Rod Special. Limited clearance is my only regret with the thing, otherwise it is outstanding. Something about being on a cruiser with some giddy-up and go.

Yeah they are badass... and its the begining Marko. It started to twinkle in when you realized how bad ass the Buells are... 90% of the people who bash the HD's have never rode one, let alone owned or rode one for an decent amount of time.

it didnt feel too comfortable? every harley i been on feels like im too relaxed-cuz of the forward controls.its like sitting in a recliner

thats probably why i dislike em, wouldnt say im a hd basher tho.
id really like to build one, but id never ride it

Good vid. Do you have stock pipes on yours? They are very quiet. First thing I'd do is put something with a little more bite on it.

You know what, you are absolutely right. It started 2.5 years ago when I rode my first Buell. I didn't give two shits about them before that. I feel in love with that engine. When I bought my Buell in May....I started doing some more intense research. Harley's aren't the piece of shits they used to be. They are good bikes. Brembo brakes, Showa suspenders, slipper clutches, ABS...the list goes on.

And you're right...the bashers are people who have never rode one.

It felt great. I like forward controls. If I buy a cruiser it's gonna have forward controls. The seat felt great. Granted I was only on it for 10 miles...but it was very comfortable for the time I spent on there.

:lol: I like pushrod engines. Obviously. My Buell is a pushrod twin. It's a phenomenal motor. If you disagree, you've obviously never put any amount of time on one.

It's not the engine that draws me to the Vrod...it's the look of it. I don't really like the looks of the air cooled pushrod HD's. If they made a pushrod that looked like the Vrod I'd buy that instead. I like the sound of the air coolers.
