Short and sweet vid of the new vrod. Stay tuned for more rides with this one! As always, thanks for the support!

Jon's Moto Garage interested in the orange vrod, how do I pm you?

Just found this video. I got my 2012 night rod special brand new. It has never left me stranded. It's a very fun back to ride. 0-60 3.2 stock numbers 125 horsepower. Great bikes in my opinion. Not so much a long haul typical harley type comfort if you can't ride long.

[@fletcherjohn22]

I’m so stoked you’ve picked up some VRods!!! These have been my favorite bikes for like the past 3 years other than my daytona 675. Excited to see more videos.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Heck yeah! I won't be keeping them forever, but I'll get some good vids for sure. Thanks, brotha!

[@pulsartech2945]

[@mikebuckingham5486]

Just picked up '13 Muscle last month. Love these bikes!

[@stephenmegel6975]

Can't wait to hear more about what you think of the vrods.

[@markcraig3702]

I am trying to find one to get me back in the Harley Family. I traded in 2017 Road Glide on a 2018 Goldwing DCT. I have always liked the VROD and the Night Rod has taken it to a whole new level.

[@robbyterrill5707]

Ive got the 2013 vrod muscle..Color white...Ive had 3 muscles...love the Harley Vrods...mine has 7400 miles on it.

[@diningroomfish5470]

Nice, loading up bro, love it, 👍 v rod beautiful bike

[@rudedog9999]

Just bought a Nightrod. Can’t wait for it to be delivered.

[@Johnclark300]

The vrod is a highly collectible motorcycle because of Willy G and the Porsche team that worked together and build the muscle bike of the century. And as time goes by they will go up in value. I truely believe that the motor company shot themselves in the foot when they decided not to make them anymore. That is one of my dream bikes that bike is bad to the bone I can't wait to sit on the new Street fighter that they plan on bringing to a dealer near you 👍

[@evil_musclemuscled3814]

Wow I got a thing for the vrods, factory or modified . A true keeper

[@evil_musclemuscled3814]

I ended up with a 2016 breakout and I wouldn't change my decision to this day

[@butterytoast7]

Wow garage full of awesome Harley's!

[@Tragic5]

Love the video

[@gwaddles]

One of the best ever made...

i wish i also had that many bikes in my garage.

[@elfaseccioria]

Oh yeah finally some v rod video in 2019. Instant subbed 👌

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Thanks, brotha! I won't have the bike forever, but I'll try and get some good vids out while it's in my possession.

I've wanted a vrod for years! What's the best place to find deals? Where did you find these?

[@wms1266]

Hey Buddy Nice set of Harley Davidson Night Rod it is possible to import in India and change gas tank into Petrol tank.. and what would be the cost

[@JamesJohnson-jb4yg]

How much did you buy the night rods? What year and mileage are they?

[@slpsmart]

Hell yeah dude 🏍

[@YogisCycleService]

They are a sweet and unique bike for sure.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

For sure! I use to dismiss the vrod because I didn't dig the lines at first glance. But over time, I've come to appreciate the styling. And the ride is even better!

[@davidelizabeth4933]

Nice. 👌 Which one gets flipped first??? 🤔 Looking forward to hearing your impressions of the bike after more saddle time. We'll see you on the next one. 👍 👨‍👩‍👧 ❤

[@JonsMotoGarage]

The orange one for sure. Lol. I dig the black w/inverted forks.

[@yasserel-azem6589]

Does the Vrod still sound like a regular Harley does being that it is a german engine?

[@aaronguerra64]

Is there anything to know about these bikes ? Looking at 1 but trying to do research on it

[@mariuss.6607]

Picked up my vrscf muscle a month ago 2014 with less than 2k miles for $9.5k

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Heck yeah! Sounds like akiller deal!

[@nickyfats2799]

how much did you pay? im looking to get into one too...cant belive they stopped making this bike!

[@KSlig]

Looks like now all you need is a Roadster! I just sold mine but there are others out there.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

For sure! The roadster is high on the list. Shame there aren't many of them out there.

[@Immigrant-man]

What’s your size bro I bought. 2008 but huge can of scare

[@fury210]

Nice! There's still room for a Concours. ;-)

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I've been keeping my eye on one. 2009 with 6600 miles. The dude wants $5500, which seems like a fair price. But I like $5k more. Lol. We'll see...

[@gabemorrison2514]

Hey Jon I have a quick question for ya. I test rod a 13 night rod last week. It was uncomfortably hot on my right leg at stops and even riding. Is this normal for even though they are liquid cooled? I have to think it was over heating as the air cooled bikes I rode had no issues.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I think I recall the exhaust being pretty dang hot. I believe that's how they are but may double check the forums...

[@tankshadow3494]

How much are you asking for this vrod?

[@evil_musclemuscled3814]

How you liking your bikes , I say you're lucky having them two , I'm more into the muscle model but heck man if it's a vrod I say snag it up

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I honestly haven't gotten out much on the vrods. Lol. Been too busy learning circle wheelies on the honda grom. Hahaha!But when I take the vrod out for short rides, it never disappoints.

[@jasonbourne4127]

Love you Channel brother shopping around for the V-Rod what year you think I should stay away from? I heard the 07. I figure I'll ask you. Thanks john

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Yo! Thanks for the support! Truth be told I'm not sure regarding the vrod what years to avoid. 🤘💯

[@jasonbourne4127]

Ok thank you 👍🏼

[@olafk2297]

I like the black one more

[@sergiogutierrez6091]

How much u get them for

[@valentin_marin]

I found a V Muscle Roard with 7000 thousand km for 13.000 euro....14 grands I guess....what recommend....buy a second hand bike like this or bay a new one like Fat Boy or Breakout? Thanks a lot for your opinion...I'm new in this Harley Davidson bikes

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Hmmm...I guess it depends how much the new ones cost. I would be leaning towards the new bike since the price difference probably isn't too far off and the new one will come with the warranty and all. If you could find one pre owned for around 7k, that would be a bit different. Plus, I'm a big fan of the new m8. You might even consider the new low rider s if you dig that style. Tough call for sure. Lol. Sorry I couldn't be of much help on that one.

[@valentin_marin]

Jon....en tu opinión...se maneja mejor una V road que un breakout? Que te parece comparar una con otra? Gracias y un saludo desde España

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Hola, amigo! Al no tener las dos al mismo tiempo, el pensamiento q me viene a la mente es que las does son muy parecidas en cuanto a los manejamientos. Pero lo mejor seria probar los dos por si mismo a ver que opinas. Can cualguiera, creo que te vas a divertir mucho. Jajaja! Gracias por mirar y comentar! Saludos a Espana!

[@stan9155]

I bought 2013 with 8k for $8000 in may...sold it last week for $8700 rode free all summer and lived it. Will buy again.... What did you pay?

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Heck yeah! Can't beat that! I'll drop what I paid and then delete the comment. Let me know when you see it. Thanks!

[@bmwrider1931]

The only way to buy things. Pay with cash. Nice ride

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Cash is KING! Lol. Until bitcoin becomes king. Hahaha!

[@theone2be33]

V&H pipes standard on those bikes? What was in the totes?

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Lol. Right? Kind of crazy both have the same exhaust and same drop on the right side. The totes had some extras - windshield, original turn signals, stock exhaust, etc.

[@hectorrosado5807]

Like the red one better. 👍

[@waterzz6670]

How do you compare it with Yamaha warrior you tested earlier?

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Performance-wise, I think the vrod takes the warrior (from what I've researched). Howerver, I still lean towards the warrior for overal comfort, handling, and fun factor. I didn't feel like I had to muscle the warrior around at all. The thing felt super nimble for a big muscle bike.

[@shazzadauncon3682]

Is it possible to install mid controls in v rod?

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I've seen em but not sure what all it entails.

[@fatty2x4fatty]

What did you pay?

[@112hugs]

What’s the vrod and night rod scene like over there?

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Truth be told I don't get into the scenes a whole lot so I couldn't say. I don't see tons of em out on the streets, but I haven't checked to see if there are any groups or clubs. That's a good question.

How does wifey feel about it? Mine would give me a dirty look as soon as she drove off in the mini van 😂

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Hahaha! I had to get my brother to drive me out there (I never should've sold my truck!). Maybe that answers your question though. Hahaha!

[@gabrielfernandez566]

Dumb question, how does insurance work with multiple bikes, each one has to be insured separately, you have Lot of bikes, god bless bro

[@JonsMotoGarage]

For my personal bikes, they're all insured. For bikes I plan to buy/sell, I have a 30 day window. Beyond that 30 days, I have to put them on my plan to get coverage.

[@seeahrex]

cuanto pagaste por la V-ROD nueva que compraste en el vídeo?

[@JonsMotoGarage]

la vrod negra me costo cinco mil quinientos. La saque muy barata!

@@deviantfabrications7172 I have no regrets, I couldn't ride my Night Rod nearly as long as the LRS. Both are great bike but the LRS was a better fit for me.

[@Niranjanbahadurpande]

I'm of the train of thought that the vrod/nightrod was a middle finger to the Japanese at the time of it's release but harley davidson will never admit it. its a shame that they killed this bike.no younger folks would buy a harley atleast most of them and even if they did buy,it would have been a vrod/nightrod but its a shame harley stopped its production.probably the flagship and sexiest beast in harley davidson history.
