Well the V-Rod riders seem to but will still probably say..."it's not a Harley so I don't care about it".

They do!


(isn't 'performance' where they make the exhaust louder and the idle rougher?)

I'm not a big fan of the headlight. It looks awesome from picture two though. Maybe put a duc streetfighter headlight on it.

V Rod for me please. Or V Max. I like my Ducatis with cornering prowess.

I'd take a V-rod. That thing looks like a cross between a Buell and a Ducati 900.

It doesn't take much to kill a V-Rod in either sales figure or performance.
