Are V-Rods a pariah?

[UncleMike]

I've owned a couple of V-Rods.

With the 1150, of course.

Vmax > Vrod

Vmax > Vrod

They're both ugly as sin.
And for the record, the hard core Harley guys do not hate the vrod.
Most of me could care less.

The VROD is the only Harley I would consider owning too. It's just a shame they didn't go ALL OUT and make it faster than what it is. When a GS1000 or GS1100E can beat it at the drag strip, you know you've missed your mark. That episode of Pinks where the GS1100E beats the VROD and takes it home is CLASSIC!

Most of "ME" could care les...Priceless Todd. That got a CHUCKle out of me.

Actually Chuck, that's a typo. It was supposed to say "most of em".

Have you seen one, and sat on one in person?

Which one?
I have never ridden the V-Max but I have sat on one. In my opinion the bike is too top heavy and bulky looking. They look like a giant insect.

The V-Rod I have ridden. My daughters boyfriend had one. It was ok. It's just ugly and not something I'd wanna ride for more than a few hours. Not comfortable at all.

That's not to say I wouldnt own either one of em. Just wouldnt go out of my way to do so.

The first time you get on a VMAX and the V-boost kicks in a 6K and almost rips your arms out of the socket, you'll change your mind. Only top heavy in parking lots and standing still, once you get em' going they're just like any other big 80's UJM, and you can upgrade the suspension front and rear with Progressives to make for a very comfortable ride. Try it, you'll like it!

If they could care less, that means they care.

Yea but it's ugly

[UncleMike]

Only thing I ever wanted to do with a V-Max was try and turn it into the Hardy Daytona from Final Fantasy VII.

[Eli69]

it's like the grateful dead - some people just don't "get it".

[Notz]

I'd still go for this over the V ROD

Yea but it's ugly

You really think this is ugly? Its a few years older (2005), but freaking beautiful, man.
