[@yeti_killed_you9425]

You are on the right path man! I like the 109 but it's very basic. As a cruiser rider that enjoys your content I'm excited for you man!!

[@mucho8486]

So funny. I just recently had the same dilemma. I was looking at both the night rod or muscle. I do like the air box on the muscle and the rear fender and integrated lights best. Which is one of the reasons I went with the muscle. On October 13, 2017 I bought my first Harley and it was a 2013 V Rod Muscle Good luck with your choice!!

[@dainguyen1077]

Mucho how’s the bike been so far? I’m also deciding on which one to buy atm

[@j.t.thomas890]

Love your Video's Cruza , I agree completely with you about the night rod and muscle differences . You can always change the tail over from the muscle . These bikes when customized are so tough looking I love them .

[@javirmessa2931]

Night rod. I’m thinking on getting the Street Rod. You can do the tail light and stuff I would think.

[@isaiahcollins339]

I got a Street Rod. It's an awesome bike.

[@RochelleM491]

One thing I will say, there are many super fast, powerful performance bikes out there, BUT a Harley V-Rod muscle will always get you much more respect no matter what year..!

[@Philibusting]

Ok Cruza, since I like you I'm gonna help you out. About me; currently own a 2014 Honda Valkery, purchased new this summer with 4 miles on it, a 2006 Yamaha FZ6 (the beater) and ... a like new 2009 Muscle that I bought 2 years ago for $9500.00 with 2,200 miles on it. I thought it was a good deal since the bike looked new and came with V&H pipes which sound awesome-and a bike jack, bike cover and trickle charger ... And, even a HD kick stand puck. The bike now has 6k miles and other than the inaccurate fuel gauge (known) issue, not a problem so far. I can see me parting with the Yamie and even the Valk but the Muscle is here to stay - I simply love the looks of the bike and the power it has. To me Harley didn't pull any stops with this one. Dual exhausts, inverted forks, Brembos, Full steel braided lines, full LED lighting (except for headlight which I corrected) self cancelling signals, keyless start, ABS, folding side lic. plate holder and ... that -oh sooo fat- 240 on the back ... Talk about sexy!!! Not to mention the water cooled, Porsche designed power plant which was very hard desert tested. The looks of the muscle as YOU point out are way sexier than the Nightrod IMHO, although they both look good. My buddy (a former sport bike rider) rode mine and a year later he got a 2012 in Denim Black with 7K miles, he loves it - no issues with either bike yet. If you like the muscle I'd go with that. Personally if I had gone with the night rod I would have probably lived to regret it every time I saw a muscle. Also like you, I waffled between the Muscle and the M109R at the time (took the Nightrod off the list early on). But I'm glad I went the Muscle way since the 109 is truly beginning to show it's age and although is a great bike, it looks bulbous and somewhat cartoon like IMHO. (sorry M109 owners, I know that 1.8 Ltr. Is killer). The Muscle on the other hand still looks sleek and ahead of its time. I still get stares and thumbs up on it (as well as on the Valk), no one gives the Yamie a second look But that's an '06. In the future, the Yamie will be replaced by a 2017 or better Street Tripple since I do like the look and feel of the naked middle weight. But the Muscle is here to stay Baby. Hope this help Cruza - you lucky I like you.

[@MinusSeeker]

go with the night rod because you can get it checked out at a local bike shop to see what condition it's in

[@wv4life375]

Cruza Word or warning for a man so financially conservative. Bought a VRod new off the floor. 2 years later couldn't sell it for half of what I paid for it. Resale on them must be the worst of all Harley models. It was a fun bike but a investment nightmare. Other issue was gas mileage. I had half the fuel mileage as my buddies so I was always the guy needing to stop for gas. Its long gone and lesson learned. Afterward I bought 2 Panheads rode them and enjoyed each for 4 years. Sold each of them for 30pct more than I paid. Think about it. All I'm saying.

[@circusboy90210]

Dud you buy a bike to ride or resell? Ride it till the wheels fall off

[@mrvwbug4423]

Between the two, I would go for the Night Rod, the murdered out look is great on the V-Rod.

[@TheUndertakerVII]

I was looking for an update, I'm really looking into bikes and fell in love with the Vrod and Night rod. Was looking for more information on them and how they hold up in 2019 but I did sub so thanks.

[@brucecox5908]

I bought a leftover 2016 Nightrod Special, with no miles and I absolutely LOVE my bike!! It’s Fantastic for cruising, looks absolutely STUNNING, and the only drawback (if you consider it one) is the skimpy backseat for a passenger on the Night Rod, which comes a little better on the V Rod Muscle. There you have it!!

[@screamingr1366]

I have the same. Bought it with 4k on the odometer last year. It now has 11k on it! Love the bike. I’ve made a few changes with more on the way. Front and rear air suspension, custom rear fender, center stand, 300 rear, handlebars with integrated cluster and custom wheels are just a few within the next year

[@salzabar67]

Just purchased a new 2014 Honda Valkyrie. A serious power cruiser that was a natural step up from my busa. I would like to know how you feel about the Valkyrie and if you have had any riding time on one. Hey, that would make for a great motorcycle review coming from you. Respect.

[@sdave46]

You can’t really go wrong with either of them. They are both very nice and a big departure from what I’ve seen on this channel. It’s always nice to get a different perspective and those bikes will definitely do that for you. It’s just a different kind of ride. I’m a Harley fan personally but I did come from a CBR 954rr. I loved my CBR and was unsure of the Harley but after a couple seasons I fell in love. The transition from fast to cruising was difficult though. Best of luck in your decision I’m sure you’ll be happy either way. But personally I’d go with the night rod.

[@sportglidejim9001]

Owned two Vrods! That bike rocks!! Put 90,000 between the two. Those engines are bullet proof! Good luck brother and be safe😎 FYI I would buy the Night Rod :)

[@mattles5738]

Night rod! is there anyway to switch the air thing from the vrod to the nightrod.

[@roadkill8900]

I’ve owned 14 bikes over the years and the bmw s1000r and rr impressed me the most.

[@wilmtron]

I sold my Ducati 1299S and bought a 2016 Night Rod. It’s awesome, and is the only Harley they rides like a sports bike, 9000rpm redline, mine dyno‘ d at 128bhp with just some slip ons. Camshafts bring it up to 140bhp+. Great bikes, and solid engine. Ride one and see, you’ll love it if you’ve been used to sports bikes.

[@acquiredtargett6015]

Go for the NIght Rod. Sounds like a better deal. But the Suzuki is nice looking. Have you looked at any bikes from Indian?

[@tgizzle1258]

I test rode the night rod special. I loved it. I absolutely loved it. Very smooth.

[@gravelslinger9331]

I have a 2016 Night Rod, and I LOVE how it Looks and how it Pulls STRONG in ALL GEARS!! I LOVE the Comfort And Handling!! NIGHT ROD FOREVER!!!! My bike was a leftover 2016 Night Rod Special, all blacked out! The M109R (renamed the “Intruder”) is simply to long for my 5’81/2” frame. The Night Rod for me PERFECTLY!!!

[@bruceleroy8208]

Thanks a lot cycle cruza first you got me on a CBR1000RR now you got me looking into a Harley after i said I would never get one...you are an awesome dude!

[@kwawesome]

I have an M109R I know it' big but at least give it a test drive. The M109r is the best bang for your buck! Hands Down!

[@frankzappa2274]

kwawesome I totally agree with you...and it's amazing what a bit of customizing can do to an older model.

[@MrHarlemknight73]

DUDE I AM TRYING MY BEST TO TELL CYCLECRUZA THE SAME THING. HE NEEDS TO GO TEST DRIVE IT AND POST THAT SHIT. IF HE MAKES IT BACK LOL

[@kwawesome]

BOULEVARD RICK Lol. Let's Stay on him to test drive it.

[@AboutaMileAdventures]

So glad your going the harly vrod/nightrod route over the 109, If i had a choice i'd go with the night rod, they just look so sleek and i ride with a night rod and whenever we see a vrod its more like a plain harley with all the chrome lol.

[@JohnMr7]

I own a v rod muscle. Never owned a night rod, but my buddy who owns a night rod rode my muscle, and he said he wished he would have bought a muscle instead. It's bigger and less manouverable than the night rod, which were his only complaints, but he said you could tell the muscle had much more power and torque. So far I've loved my muscle... only complaint I have is that you won't want to take it on long trips simply because the forward seating position isn't very comfortable for more than 30 minutes of riding.

[@BryanV6661]

I'm so stoked you're getting a Harley. You're gonna love it!

[@TheDucatiPilot]

Hell yeah! I love my Harley Softail Slim!

[@RollingArtDesigns]

I used to work at that dealership Stinger H-D, in Medina, Ohio! Mark and Brad are great guys, hope you get the bike! Congrats!!!

[@RollingArtDesigns]

In my own personal opinion I think the Night Rod Special is a better looking bike!

[@congresser5265]

Love my 06 Night Rod. Highly recommend the Night Rod.

[@nahlit66]

I was a 2013 Nightrod owner for about a year and a half. Although it was a great bike, it was super heavy and very difficult to maneuver due to the its rake angle. Also it would literally burn my left leg especially when I got stuck in city traffic.

[@screamingr1366]

I have the 16 NRS and it’s very flickable for what it is considering I stepped off an 09 R1. It’s the right leg that gets hot not the left due to the exhaust all on that side

[@EEEBA1]

If you are thinking MT just wait for the SP version coming out. That bike is finally getting a much better suspension. Good luck!

[@NarcAssassin]

Ridden a Muscle, bought a 2016 Night Rod. Love the Night Rod Special with zero regrets, tons of fun. I still wonder what an xDiavel would be like, and still consider picking one up. In whatever you decide, good luck.

[@Whiteman115]

I just bought an 07 night rod a few months ago with only 22k on the motor. I love the blacked out look of it, with an aftermarket 2 to 1 exhaust. I always have people watching me as I ride past them, don't know if it's for the looks or the loud exhaust. Just make sure the water pump is in good working condition, from what I've heard from Harley mechanics it's usually the first thing to go. I would also look at the Yamaha Stryker, if your checking out that style of bike.

[@eddyo36]

Dude, I will ride up to a place of your choosing so that you can ride my 2015 Ducati Monster 1200S. You sit upright, so it is comfortable. It's not the superbike, but it still has the power and performance.

[@CP-sh5bv]

From what you have described between the two I think the Night Rod would be a better choice. Listening to those that have owned V-Rods they sounds like a great bikes. Not sure if it matters to you but Harley-Davidson stopped production of the V-Rod line and now focuses on their new Milwaukee Eight. Since you like a lighter feel of a sport bike the new Softail M8 line might be worth looking into. I only sat on a few (never ridden) but I must say it has a very light feel. All the people I have spoken to that have ridden them have said they are great handling bikes especially the Fat Bob. Since you already went to the dealership you really have nothing to lose by test riding a few. I ride a Touring M8 that weighs about 900 pounds and the torque/acceleration is great and the engine has been reliable for me and other owners I have spoken to. If not the M8 Softail maybe the sport/cruiser Ducati XDiavel with lots of torque and horsepower. Good luck in your search.

[@evil_musclemuscled3814]

I do have a 2016 breakout and I dont expect it to do anything like my r1 but the bo is all style and looks and that 5 gallon tank is great in looks and use

[@ItsBigRickSon]

get the night rod, I had a 2016 night rod in the vivid black and carbon fiber, exactly as the one you showed in the video, and when I find another in my paint color for a deal, I'm buying it! one of the best bikes I've owned, stupid quick, comfortable, does every bit of 145mph, and is a unique looking bike! love it!

[@fjames5324]

The chrome on it will also help in you being seen at night by them crazy drivers with the chrome reflection!

[@Coffee_AddictBMX]

That nightrod looks awesome. Esp since its local, and almost brand new. Makes more sense to me.

[@tavism9284]

I have a 2012 VRSCDX"NIGHT ROD". I bought it brand-new and love it. If you have any questions about the bike,just ask. I babied my for the first thousand miles then put on different muffles and screaming eagle tuner and tuned. Don't do screaming eagle tuner do the dynojet power vision. The screaming eagle tuner only plugs in to do tuning and the rest of the time it sits in a box in a closet somewhere. Do the K&N filter to with tuning. Dynojet tuner is great put one on x wife's bike and loved being able to interact with and loading different tunes. I still love my night rod and 35,000 on it. I am happy to answer any of your questions about the bike. Had mine up to 151mph and she's smooth as a sowing machine.

[@Ryuken254]

I got me a V-rod Muscle. The night rod, I don't like rear end and handlebars just felt better on muscle. I also wanted the black out engine but just wasn't feeling night rod when I went on that test ride. Plus use the money you saving to get upgrades on muscle?

[@paulbelliphotography]

Definitely the Night Rod - way more aesthetically pleasing, & sounds like you're leaning that way anyway!

[@markcraig3702]

I found a 2008 Night Rod Special in pristine condition down in Florida. The dealer sent me several videos and a bunch of pictures. I purchased the bike for $8, 500 , this included shipping to my house here in Georgia. I could not be happier with this Bike.

[@BigDaveTALKS]

V rods don't need much maintenance. I have a KZbin hobby and ride a 2012 muscle. Check it out if you have time. They are more fun than you would expect. And it has been discontinued so MAY go up in value later.

[@benhovland9903]

Uncle has a night rod special. And it's fantastic fairly quick and with the screamin eagle pipes it sounds amazing

[@KoRnNut]

my vote is for the Night Rod. I also like the backed out look better.

[@NorthernFlyer49th]

I like the V-rod Muscle and the Vmax is also awesome

[@stan9155]

I just sold my black 2010 muscle and in process of buying black with orange stripes 2012 night rod. I just love that blacked out look even forks

[@stan9155]

Bought 2013 night rod. Love it

[@MrGrabmegotcha]

Hey man I’m sure you got your bike by now, and I’d like to know what you decided on/how you like it. But I’ve been on a 2012 night rod for over a year now (no car, just bikes) and I love it! The biggest difference is the seat. The muscle just feels like normal, but gunning it in the night rod is like being in a racing bucket seat. And trust me, when you blast the throttle in 4th or 5th against the power band, you’ll be glad of that deep seat!

[@jackmeleady5826]

Can't wait to see more vids with a new bike!!

[@leeschultzracing522]

Owned old vmax, 06 nightrod. Also have 2015 vmax. Just want to know 1130 or 1250 at the dragstrip?

[@Gerathetrouble]

Good choice👍. Blacked out engine looks good. Just get the night rod. And switch the air box cover and rear fender from Muscle. It will fit. Same frame

[@randyhutchinson9910]

I've got a 2012 Limited Edition Tenth anniversary Knight Rod special, , I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nicolecurran9844]

Personally I'd go with the night rod from what you're saying it's a little more expensive but you know exactly what you're getting but at the same time I know how hard it can be to pick out a new bike I'm in the process of selecting my next bike I have narrowed down to 2 myself hope this helps

[@Thomas-uk5cp]

I say night rod all the way. Especially knowing for sure the condition its in. Thats worth 2k to me. When i priced out the fender swap i believe it was about $500. You gotta replace the whole fender mounting assembly. Integrated turn signal/mirror assemblies are online everywhere and you can find some for under $150 fairly easily.

[@knightmareking1342]

Is it me or is the vrod great for taller riders? And the night rod is almost slammed.. so I would go with the vrod and customize it you know.

[@TheDucatiPilot]

Go with the Night Rod. With only 500 miles, that's a brand new bike. You won't regret it!

[@greenman3602]

What about putting those vrod pipes on that nightster, wonder if they would fit since it is the same motor, blacked out of course

[@ianhowick]

tough choices to be sure, but damn, that night rod looks damn fine

[@Firestorm637]

I like the black also but you must have the muscle rear fender and tail light. I am sure you can order one and attach to the black one. They make some great replacement led headlight inserts with cornering lighting.

That night rod is baddd ass!!!! 👍👍👍👍☝️

[@Abegnale]

visit the closer one and see if it's still good. also remember 2012 vs 2015. although just a few years, older is still older.

[@ArnaudFortier]

The night rod just looks amazing. Saw one here and I would buy it if I had money:)

[@DarKFeaRx]

I have a 2007 night rod, and absolutely love it

[@Woodluv2]

I like the Nightrod. Better deal I think. Does it have turn signals that turn off automatically after making the turn. Helps a lot.

[@screamingr1366]

Yes it does

[@bobellis2912]

Dude, you will not be disappointed with the night rod. When I punch the throttle on mine, it's like being a bullet shot out of a gun. Just an awesome ride.

[@skcclos1022]

The boss 109 is great deal but I think that vrod with less then 500 Miles blackout sounds like it fits you from what u going for as for a cruzer

[@frankzappa2274]

That Night rod is a sweet clean machine I wouldn't need to do much to that at all. Rode out of town to check out the Suzuki 109r BOSS I have bin biding on and Damn that is one big Bitch but I absolutely love it lol.

[@Ron1n773]

Just from this video, sounds like you need the Diavel! It really depends on your riding style. Personally, I don't like forward controls and the Diavel can be standard. My choice doe.....

[@madfzr]

Not a big VROD FAN. test ride a forty eight 2017 XL1200X , with minor mods, intake, fuelpak fp3 power commander, exhaust, the bike rips, its compact. handles awesome

[@brandonrose4388]

I've got a first generation Night Rod 06 model with the first generation good night Rod had a little more power and a little more torque then the V-Rod or V-Rod Muscle it also had a longer rake and mid controls it was a bit more sporty they are fun bikes but take a little getting used to to ride they are very tame bikes under 4000 RPM but if you twist that throttle they Boogie

[@erirafa1318]

I have a night rod and I love it! The muscle is cool too but I would recommend the night rod and its 10 lbs lighter!

[@balwa999]

Vrod muscle length is shorter

[@cero6404]

Night Rod looks very nice, which one is better in terms of usage

[@truths_chaosyt4333]

Night rod looks like it fits your personality better. Just my opinion. Good luck and I hope you're happy with whichever you choose.

[@vmonk1474]

I've got an earlier V-Rod (2003, 100th anniversary). I like the looks of the Muscle, but never rode one. I love the V-Rods.

[@frankhubbardiv8711]

I'd probably get the night rod. The turn signal mirrors are an easy conversion.

[@screamingr1366]

I agree. I changed mine out with micro LEDs and they are nearly invisible but very bright. They keep the long, low drag bike look of the NRS. I hate the big mirrors and despise the ones on the Muscle. Look like bug antenna

[@Ihelpanytime]

Get a GSX-R1000L7/L8! I want my first bike a liter bike, especially GSX-R1000 and I hope you buy it to do review and DIY maintenance so I can get idea of that bike.

[@shinseikatsu2014]

I like the Night Rod. Sounds like a good deal too for a hardly used bike

[@adisyamadasa4238]

CycleCruza YES night rod looks like something you won't get tired from. It looks great and hopefully keep you happy:)

[@mackbowman7469]

I'm on my second V Rod Muscle. love it!!

[@douglaswhite1833]

That Night Rod looks sick dude

[@chrisdroste3296]

I personally love the night rod over the muscle;I nearly pulled the trigger on a leftover new 2014 awhile ago; gorgeous muscle car blue paint with silver racing stripes...I still feel bad I didn't but I honestly wasn't ready for it at that time. If you get the night rod and mod the turn signals can I have the take off blacked out ones that come with it? ;) (I'm in cincy too so...)

[@evil_musclemuscled3814]

Any vrod is dope , a muscle cruiser . The one I'd take could be black /chrome or all black , I'd look for excellent in shape and a 5 gallon tank is a must . I took my r1 to the mountains and across colorado but man that bike needs fill ups a lot . As far as the twists and turns that bike is just right for it . At least with a vrod you dont have to worry about fuel or have it on your mind all the time

[@ErYien]

Night rod looks the best but the vrod looks more classic, i´d go with the night rod every day tho unless i had the chance to go with a brakout. that thing is beautiful

[@supergarball]

Hey CR, love your videos. You've inspired me to get into dirt bike riding with your WR videos. Couldn't find a WR up here in Vancouver for a reasonable price so I ended up buying the 2017 Husqvarna FE250! It's a tone of fun. I'm toying with the idea of getting a 2 stroke as well, like a 2016/17 Yamaha YZ250X. Anyway, I still have my 2011 Aprilia Tuono R, awesome bike. I also test rode a 2017 BMW S1000XR, shit load more fun than the Vrod (although it looks bad ass). The M109 would be better value in my opinion. Another BMW that I really love is the 2017 R1200RS. Those boxer engines have a tone of character and are different enough than the CBR to keep you interested.

[@omegamanRA28]

The Muscle looks tougher. luv the polished handle bars and the rear and air box as you mentioned. main down fall for me was the lack of adjust ability from the handle bars over the v-rod. Unless you change the tree. FYI. i didnt end up buying one , as it gave me cramps, due to the forward foot pegs. go Muscle though.

[@GareyCooperdude]

Isn’t HD discontinuing the V’s? Are you worried about that? They both look sick. So no worries there in the looks department.

[@MrNetherlands1]

night rod for sure man! the brilliant thing about harley is the customisation, anything you don't like yo can just rebuild it in the later years :)
