Harley Davidson V-Rod Review
www.revzilla.com/common-tread/...
If you were to close your eyes and say to yourself, “self, envision a Harley Davidson”, the VRod Muscle would probably not be the first thing that came to mind. Nor should it be. It’s different. It’s edgy. It is a lot of things that the most prolific motorcycle maker in the world didn’t do for a great many years -- and that is what makes it so exciting!
With the VRod Muscle, Harley Davidson has taken the full dive into a relatively new world of the power cruiser. In this in-depth review by our resident wrench-master and Harley guru Lemmy, the VRod gets a thorough rundown so that you can have a better understanding of one of the most unique motorcycles on the road.

***** i dare you to name a few MotoGeo makes nice videos but nothing that can be called a review, the only channel that has reviews as good as yours is gizmag (if i remeber correctly, they are Australian) But trust me i'm subscribed to the "best" ones, and they just can't get it right, they are either too short or don't have enough info or sincerity, or they tell you to read the verdict on their site, like anyone is gonna do that. You just keep up the good work :)

doug ireland You sir are correct!!!! I was really surprised how complete he was, so many "reviewers" never say anything critical about the bike they're riding, like everything about every bike is just great. I'm really glad he mentioned those pegs, I saw those right away and thought how awkward that would be for me to ride because I'm only 5'9". Great job Lemmy, keep it up!!!

I owned a V-Rod Muscle for a few years and I LOVED it. I took some pretty long trips on it, with the optional windshield and some saddlebags. I threw Metzelers on it and holy shit, it handled so well. This thing is a rocket ship. When you and your crew are cruising at 80 mph, you can flick your wrist and DISAPPEAR in front of them. I never took my wife on it once, or any other passenger either. I ride solo. The instruments and headlight never bothered me. The Muscle model looks so much better than the plain V-Rod IMO.

Just bought a new V-Rod Muscle a couple weeks ago. My goodness, all I think about is the next time I can go riding! I owned a Street 750 as my first bike, which was great and a lot of fun. But the V-Rod oozes sexiness, power and comfort. It's a work of art! I watched Lemmy's review before buying. I haven't had the same complaints as he did with the gauges and headlights. But I understand as a journalist, he needs to find cons along with the pros.

That was one of the better bike reviews that I've seen on KZbin and I watch a Lot of them. It was more in depth and detailed than many of the bike magazines and the road portion gave a real world, everyday user scenario that most bikers encounter. I would definitely like to see and hear more reviews from you and hopefully on some of the other brands out there. Good job!

This was stellar. As nearly everyone else has mentioned, one of the best bike reviews I've seen. Not only was your delivery and knowledge impeccable but the filming was fantastic! I'm not at all a Harley guy but your enthusiasm really warmed me to the idea of a v-rod. Lastly I have to say; I love Anthony and his cool guy smoothness (Dude has some serious charisma) but Lemmy, you keep this up and he's gonna be fighting for his fan base. ;) This was rock solid, relatable and freakin' fun as hell. I can't wait for the next one!!

I really llike the way you guys review things. Your bike reviews are so much better, so much more informative and contextual than the average tit that simply straps a GoPro to his lid, goes out on a formation dealership ride, mumbles some idiotic crap into his mic, repeats himself endlessly, doesn't go round any corners and never goes above 55mph. Those style of "reviews" are legion on KZbin but your style, with real information and real impressions are rare. I also like the editing and subtle background music. Keep it up guys. Any chance of a review on the Yamaha Super Tenere? Cheers

Revzilla is by far the best source for motorcycle video reviews on KZbin and they still give more information about the product that they are reviewing on their site. I hope bigger "motorcycle reviewing channels" could learn from this. Most of them only review the bike when a new model arrives an ride it for a week or two and the next review is for the next year. They don't quite say what bike is for you and what bike they only say what the bikes lack without saying what you can do to make it better. They say that bike A has better accessories than bike B so you will choose bike A and make bike B a less viable option cause they are taking small flaws to the bike as a whole to not buy it.

I have owned Harley Davidson motorcycles starting with a new 80/80 Wideglide then a Heritage Softail and then a V-Rod, Night Rod.The V-Rod was the best bike that I have owned and the fact that the Motor Company has deleted the V-Rod range from its line up has pissed me off no end.I fitted mid mount foot pegs and the bike was ideal for every occasion.But now due to my old age and having the privilege to ride withdrawn due to health problems my Night Rod is the last motorcycle that I will ever own and I am so fucking heartbroken about that, added to my problem is the sheer disappointment knowing that 2017 was the V-Rods swansong year. What a bad move discontinuing the build of such a brilliant motorcycle and in my opinion Harley will wait a long long time to equal it.

I ride a Harley Davidson Rocker C around the beautiful island of Cyprus! Which also has a 240 rear Tyre and forward pegs! I'm only five feet five and find the handling on the bike the same as this V-Rod, rock solid! I have lowered the seat and changed the bars to improve the ride. I did go look at a earlier V-Rod 2003 Anniversary model with the smaller tank, frame, engine and rear Tyre to buy as a second bike but the offer I put in on the bike was not accepted! Another great honest review keep them coming!

I bought one 6 months ago and LOVE it more than my sportbikes. BUT the biggest downfall is the gas guage. It will tell me it's on E but I fill up and it only takes 3Gal. I did run it down to where it took 4.6 once. Fix the gas gauge and it would be pretty much golden! It's such a tease and well known issue.

The speed isn't a deal breaker for me. Pre crash I was on a XVS 1300, and that was ample for me. Now, looks wise, the Storm or V-Rod appeal to me massively, both very similar insurance etc. Currently leaning more towards the Storm, but damn the V-Rod is a bit sexy.

Agree 100% with the review beneath mine. Reviews by RevZilla, whether by the "big" guy or the other guy (name escapes me at the moment) are the best I've ever seen, and I've seen countless others both by individuals and by professionals. You guys do it all, and you do it incredibly well!! love the candor, and evaluation both personal and objective that the reviewers always give, and the communication skill is best bar NONE, of all cycle reviewers I've ever seen. Video production is excellent as well, sound quality is perfect, delivery of commentary is clear, precise, no-nonsense and scripted just so damned good!!! My congrats on the site and this review as well, as it matches my personal experience from a 20 minute ride taken on a Harley ride a long experience ride.

Best Harley ever built. I have to agree about Harleys, I had a 96ci fatboy and the was slow for everything, heavy and steady, I love that the Fatboy feels like a tank, this bike has double horse power and torque with a smaller engine, this thing has the reaction no other Harley has, fun to ride, in top gear you push and go, good looking bike, Porsche changed the classic Harley V 45 degrees into a V 60 degrees engine, double cam each head and 4 valves per cylinder, water cooled. Im 6,4 and the controls are perfectly fine for me, I only changed the pegs for bigger ones. Controls are forward yes probably short people get in some weird "C" shape position but if you are tall you are fine.

I test rode one of these new ones recently... I love this bike. One of the reasons is that the footpegs are forward so my large frame fits it. The other is that there is so little in front of you when you are screaming down the road that it literally feels like you are flying without a bike... just flying. What a cool bike. Not for everybody, and it has very similar technology as the V65 magna had many years ago... and is about the same horsepower and speed... but this one is a Harley, made in America and absolutely beautiful.

Well, this bike has been on my radar for years. I've been a sportbike rider since ever being licensed, but the look of the V-Rod struck me in some kind of way. This review was great, and today I went out to finally test ride the Muscle. Dammit, I brought it home with me. Power is good, and I'm 6' even, and I was very comfortable on it. I'm going to have to take a week or so to get used to those forward pegs, but when my feet do finally find them, it's a nice fit. Thanks for your insights. It gave me a good starting point on what to expect.

Steeper fork rake, Showa suspension, Brembo brakes. No other V-Rod can hang with it in the curves. And one of Cycle Worlds picks for best used bikes.

That is a great review, full of terrific information and an honest and analysis of this awesome bike. Harley has no idea what they're doing obviously because they discontinued this monster, this is the Best of the Best of the Harley Davidsons. Instead of just canceling the V-Rod, they should have expanded the range to include sportier bikes and maybe even a more custom chopper-like bike with this engine. This engine is awesome, a regular Harley engine is equivalent to a lawn mower. Thank you for a fantastic review, I wish you could review every motorcycle because you do such a great job at it.

This is why I like Lemmy's reviews. He doesn't hold back, or showcase any real bias. I could trust this guy's reviews with the utmost confidence. Granted, V-Rods are absolutely NOT my style, at all. I like the Softails, myself, and have no problem with Sportsters. But after a review like this, I can at least respect the V-Rod, for what it is.

This is the best review I've ever seen, good job brother! I may be wrong but I think there's foot peg differences between the different versions of the V Rod. Anyone I've ever met that's ridden a V Rod has loved it and I think your video just helped sell some haha

Great review Lemy. Something you didn't mention was the limited ground clearance. I just bought a 2017 VRod Muscle and the bottom scrapes over speed humps, the pegs scrape around corners and so do my $1800 Vance and Hines pipes :(

Best bike review i've seen so far. I'm researching options for my first bike. I'm leaning towards HD mainly because of the support for the bike. There's many HD shops in my area.
