Step 2 of Harley ownership: Take it to the Tail of the Dragon and proceed to ride 7mph and never let anyone pass. EVER.

[@stevlagrantbulldogs]

JAX This is so true

[@DOITWITHDAN]

Hey my dog.

[@jax1079]

Do It With Dan Sorry about that crap in the kitchen. You spooked me... 🐕💩

[@psycosenpai6511]

dan hi

[@psycosenpai6511]

i would like to see you with that harley and get some mods to make even more power

[@OutdoorsWithTurners]

"I ride a real bike a Harley Davidson" Like and comment if you remember that Do It With Dan episode

[@Paradsio]

OutdoorsWithTurners could you tell me the name off the episode please?

[@Coltergeist212]

its the one where he got pulled over for the muffs being to loud. He was on the sharpie bike.

[@stotzmitchell]

Rhabbys Hawkmoon yeah I remember that like it was yesterday f****** cops were just giving him a hard time

[@asyouratty13]

He was bragging to the cops, said something like "I used to own a Harley I built"

[@cmorrisey1234]

I miss his sharpie bike:(

[@junnutube]

That left side mirror has all kinds of floppy action going on.

[@SomeoneStoleMyHandle]

junnutube ikr, it's worse than my dick and I thought that was bad.

[@Tat2Dragons]

[@junnutube]

[@fordmustanggen5]

well it's a Harley sooooo

[@joshuaholmes7929]

[@00samoht19]

I hope u see this Dan but I'm 17 and idk how I came across you Chanel but for the last 3 weeks I have watched motorcycle videos none stop lol I love these so much I'm actually taking the money I get from my tax return and gonna get my self a bike idk what kind or any details something cheap just a starter bike but I'm determined to get a bike. Thank you so much!

[@sirmorshay1272]

Notice how almost everybody in the comment section is hating on Harley's but 90% of them don't even own a motorcycle. Lol

[@ohyeamrkrabss9098]

Itz Morshay su

[@Mike_and_Life]

Itz Morshay or the people suggesting bikes they have never ridden or know nothing about.... "get a Ducati diavel, Harleys are too expensive!"... uh.. what?

[@gtnick86]

Itz Morshay I got a bicycle.

[@hateasuka]

Fact check your shit

[@yoitsjames7153]

Harleys look gay as fuck. I dont own a motorcycle true and if I did, would never own a gay looking harley. Its like lets go ride on a lazy chair

[@honeyspringshomestead1411]

Just took delivery of mine today after years of looking for the right bike. So happy with it, and this is the first of your videos I'm watching, so I hope you got one for yourself.2009 silver v rod muscle is what I bought, and love it.

[@mr.smirnoff4317]

Im i the only one that like Harley / chopper and custom bobbers ? :S

[@zane4964]

damian noort yes

[@2WheelsCorner]

building a bobber now man.... you are not alone in this world lol

[@mr.smirnoff4317]

Colin Mceachern hell Yeah ! Haha idk why tho but there is Some hate towards cruisers / harleys lol

[@henrykincaid6821]

damian noort don't like bikes where the forks have been extended, either upwards or outwards

[@2WheelsCorner]

yeah. im currently doing a 81 Yamaha maxim 650. I do have a channel, and there will be vids of the build. but i am not about to promote out of respect for Dan

[@129Slayer]

I love my V-Rod. Mine's got saddlebags, detachable touring windshield, and is comfortable enough for a long road trip. The last two models were the V-Rod Muscle and Night Rod Special. While those are cool, I like the earlier V-Rods best. Cool video dude.

[@SomeoneStoleMyHandle]

I like how on this bike you can see Dan's helmet 90% of the the time and imagine the gay grin on his fat lesbian face. #roastdan

[@kirleyq1394]

Just a Bat. Fuckin crying. 😂

[@ferretgirl013]

Just a Bat Seems you're a bit of a homophobe

[@SomeoneStoleMyHandle]

ferretgirl013 Nope, not afraid of gays, DoItWithDickhead videos aren't horror movies for me.

[@ferretgirl013]

Oh, just rude then lol

[@kippainter3480]

The guy I bought my vrod from was short and he had a lowered seat and closer pegs, it feels so different and it a lot more comfortable, you'd love it dan. Plus you can supercharge it for about 1000. I've done that and lowered it in the front and it's been amazing

[@gahahahsusbshbx7223]

Dang 800k subscribers I remember 20k subscribers

[@philipsode4168]

I think I arrived at around 120k, not the same achievement haha but still cool to be part of the earlier subs

[@motojp6481]

i remember 6k subscribers but that was only a couple weeks before 20k lmao

[@jaxslaps1011]

i rember 200 subscribers ... 1 month later he was at 10 k

[@ruairiodonoghue9527]

[@americanrooster2502]

I just got my first Harley this January, dude they are so worth it! My last bike was a Honda Magna I love that bike a lot but the Harley... the power and sound no other feeling like it in the world😎😎

[@scrom29]

that 5'8 life is rough

[@kkk-ff5th]

being 6'4 isnt great either

[@MrPAULONEAL]

@@kkk-ff5th Quit lying....

[@Challenger0428]

What a great branching out video, you did yourself and the motorcycle community a service by judging the product on its merits rather than it's loundmouths. Thank you for that. Great video!

[@Cyborg5010]

This Harley *fixes mirror* is so quick *fixes mirror*... hold on let me fix this mirror

[@DkittrellGaming]

I can tell you from first hand experience the vrod loves tail of the dragon . Went up with family 2-3 years ago and I had the biggest smile on my face after that run , It handles the corners great!

[@henrykincaid6821]

You need to try a Triumph, dude. Speed Triple or a Bonneville

[@obsoleteoptics]

Henry Kincaid Rocket III

[@jackk_tvv]

Brett Wolff Rocket 3 Turbo... 😍

[@esquimaux9]

Henry Kincaid or the victory. But all are sexy😍

[@Gazzdin]

Glad you enjoyed it Dan! just bought one with the same pipes with a tuner and screaming eagle headers , and also have a 1988 magna super , 1-80mph it kinda keeps up , but after that , no where near it at top end!

[@HP.Customs]

You should ride a Yamaha Vmax dan if you think this Vrod is quick. I have a 2004 Vmax and have raced a couple of the Vrods and always gapped them.

[@Tat2Dragons]

peppy3200 Vmax the O.G. muscle bike. 👍

[@Razticz]

Tat2Dragons agreed

[@marshallwest5217]

peppy3200 I have an 04 VMAX and that bike is the shit

[@ghostanime84]

I got a vrod but I love those Vmax. Sexy beast. :)

[@HP.Customs]

Marshall West then u know what I'm talking about.

[@peteedwards1461]

I actually own the original 2002 model V-rod and I ride blood mountain every weekend. Thing corners like a dream if you arent afraid to scrape a little bit.

[@lovelindvallbrundin6503]

Wheelie it

[@TheFakeFatLegitimate]

Love Lindvall Brundin LeeStuart38 could teach him a thing or two ;)

[@Bkomm]

Truly glad you're broadening your horizons. I like all kinds of bikes but cruisers are my favorite and I'm glad to see you're havin' a good time on a harley.

[@KFCLIFE]

Hey dan. I've been watching you for a while and ive always wanted a bike but have never been allowed to get one. Ive always just spent my tax refunds on car upgrades for my Subaru Brz. Well finally im getting my first bike in 2 weeks. Its a 2005 Yamaha Fz-1. Its in bright blue to match my car. I wanna thank you for being an inspiration on youtube. -Tim

[@Daniel-gi1cy]

You still alive?😂

[@phillipspencer709]

Pleeeeeeeaaaasssse buy a v-rod, I think you've just made me fall in love with that bike now!

[@Galm1]

It's a REEEEEEEAAL BIKE.

[@joshuaholmes7929]

Great name Mobius One any idea when Ace combat 7 is due to come out?

[@Galm1]

joshua holmes A release date should announced soon. All I can tell you is it's coming out this year.

[@daltonmissey5220]

Mobius One wrong

[@joshuaholmes7929]

Mobius One I might just get a ps4 for it

[@joshuaholmes7929]

Dalton Missey Wrong what CONTEXT IT IS IMPORTANT

[@motonvipr]

Welcome to the vrod world! Mines riding on arnotts and 250 wide avon tires. Night Rod Special's look better too, and a little lighter since the exhaust is on one side. Love my NRS. I would never sell it, just need a sport bike now.

[@Dumptheclutchevo]

you should buy my Rocket dude, you know you love it, even if you are a little small for it :D

[@obsoleteoptics]

evo you're selling the rocket? why?

[@Dumptheclutchevo]

i don't really ride it enough, and could also do with the cash :/

[@Smerdzy]

I've just recently gotten hooked on bikes. I'll be purchasing a 250cc after christmas to learn on. I don't hate bike brands. A bike is a bike. Harley or Honda, there's so much variety and there's a bit of something to cater for everybody! :)

[@articclark8188]

Hey Dan, where is hailey? when will she and her family be back in your vlogs?

[@kirleyq1394]

cameron nugent *GASP*

[@yapyapthedestroyer8379]

cameron nugent I think they broke up.

[@articclark8188]

I hope not, she seemed cool

[@yapyapthedestroyer8379]

cameron nugent yeah they did break up someone asked her in Instagram if she and Dan were still together and she replied with no. Her Instagram is "TheSithChick".

[@kk2into194]

It's really nice to hear good things about Harleys from a sport bike guy. Unfortunately their discontinuing the V-rod and muscle models but if you want to ride a stupid fast cruiser check out the Yamaha V-max you won't be disappointed.

[@jakegentry1966]

If you want to try another Harley you should try a Harley Dyna Super Glide Sport

[@kaspar2792]

HIGHVOLTAGE 3834 yes

[@nfareview]

You can throw a mid-control set on it and bring your feet down to dirtbike type position.

[@priixus7641]

Please, buy a Harley Davidson Night-rod.

[@Just_A_MG]

Shift_000 yes!!!!!

[@JP1970]

I test rode a Night Rod two days ago and was blown away by it! Fun bike, for sure! It is quite different from my Heritage...love it! 👍👍

[@HeroRR]

Technically a VROD isn't a Harley. Since the motor was made by Porsche (I believe).

[@jmelc2978]

HEROrr you're right

[@joshuaholmes7929]

Porsche only help get the design rigght like they did for BMW Harley made the engine themselves.

[@daltonmissey5220]

HEROrr porche designed it but didn't make the engine

[@BrianJohnson00]

MOTOHAX: I think you're technically correct. There's some info here: autoweek.com/article/car-news/v-rod-revolution-engine-porsche-and-harley-make-air-and-water-mix There's also a documentary on you tube called Birth of the V-Rod that explains more about the bike.

[@joshuaholmes7929]

***** Porsche helped design the engine that went into the vrod by doing like you said the reswt was all Harley. It was also the last decent bike Willie G designed

[@Caruso_King]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! I ride a Night-Rod special I'm in mad love with it and you're right about it being intoxicating to ride, I've gone 125 on mine and that's it so far.

[@delfco12]

You need mid controls not forward controls. what you have there are just an option

[@ghostanime84]

Got mid controls on my night rod. Tons better. Hated riding the v rod with normal controls. I have an older model with a smaller back tire that makes it sooo much more flikable then the fat wheel ones. Just me.

[@delfco12]

ghostanime84 I have forward controls on my sportster but I have long legs and like the lean. never been on a sport bike before

[@BrianJohnson00]

Also, a lot of people flip the peg assembly in the front and that brings it in a couple of inches.

[@Millbarge01]

I have a B model V-Rod and I love it. I also have a sport bike, so it's not the be-all end-all bike for me. In that scenario, the V-Rod works well. It's comfortable as hell and it revs out like my Super Hawk. It's definitely a fun bike for a cruiser. You get a lot of hate from people that have never ridden one, but that's on them. All bikes have their place. FYI, I also had the old V-65 Magna, and I think it would've walked the V-Rod because it was a lot lighter. It was ugly as sin, though, so that was the down side there. I've never ridden one of the second-gen Magnas, but I think they don't have the displacement to hang with a V-Rod. Thanks for making this. They quit making the V-Rod this year (low sales), so it's nice to see you give one some love.

[@lorddalron3816]

Either dan makes a fuck ton of money or he's in a shit ton of debt

[@madbull4666]

Lord Dalron why?

[@prairiefarmer5994]

MoppyMo to be fair here the magna isn't a bank breaker. And the Kawasaki he bought used. I also believe the Vette was used. He's not rich, but he's smart with his money. You can tell.

[@lorddalron3816]

Seth Fjeldheim I don't get the impression that he's very smart with his money. I'm not trying to be an ass

[@MrDrakeulah]

Lord Dalron I love Dan but i wouldn't say he's particularly smart with his money. Most guys that are drive a prius and wear white sketchers lol

[@bjrnovevad620]

But their job is not to be popular tho... so in a way, buying exotic cars and bikes is being smart with his money

[@kenberrypie]

i ride a 2004 Vrod. my dad actually fabricated some peg extenders himself he now rides a 2008 Nightrod and did the same. I am 5'9" and it is pushing it with the pegs stock. glad you like it though. :^) also just bought myself an 08 cbr600rr. cant wait to ride it.

[@jaymoto2459]

If anyone can make a Harley badass it's going to be Dan.

[@atragerlspezi9500]

Jay DM or an engine developed by porsche

[@MattiasNilsson6]

False, its Unknown Industries

[@brandoncinpubadj]

I had a '84 V65 Magna and on the road the VROD was not able to pull away from me. We let out around 130/140. I love both of these motorcycles for different reasons!

[@LOCS_20]

U cant go wrong with a harley get it brutha u wont have any regrets dont think to much about it JUST DO IT!!..👍👍

[@guy6751]

Gas L No

[@XPsychowaffleX]

I'm no harley guy, but I test rode a 1200 Sportster 48 and absolutely loved it. big far front tire and it would lean over like a sport bike. surprisingly fast too.

[@thedadfrequency5370]

May as well buy a Gixxer while your at it..... go ahead and buy the accessory kit with it. You know sandals, tank top, bandana...ect.

[@CalamariCorps]

Jay Brodizaffa funny but where I live it's the r6 to be the douche bike not the gsxr

[@SwankyTramp]

@BucketOfCandy gixxer*

[@zahrulexe]

BucketOfCandy 05 suzuki actually made a Gixxer. I hate that name... People pronounce gsx-r as a gixxer is okay, but that "Gixxer" name on a bike is just dumb..

[@squish3r]

V-Rod "Street Rod" (05 through 06 only I think) came with mid controls, and the Night Rod Special can be converted to mids. Sits like a standard at that point. Completely changes the bike. DO IT. I plan to when the weather warms up in the Hoosier State (found one I REALLY want).

[@cshatfireball]

you need to try a triumph thunderbird storm, that thing will rip ur arms off

[@paulshearer9140]

Same....I'm not a Harley guy, except for the VRod. I bought the last model of the VRod Muscle made and its awesome. So sad they stopped making this bike

[@texaspootan2836]

Two words “Mid Controls”. Just wait until you get a Vrod with mid controls

[@dlat69]

7:43 LOL!!! Hey I ride a 2016 and 99% of your comments & opinions are correct. Nice to see someone push this bike because that's what it wants to do. It's a beast to push into the corners and does best on long, sweeping curves. I had 3 riders behind me on gixers that could not pass me till the end of a sweeping curve. This bike fools a lot of car riders as they want to run by you cause they see it's a Harley. But the look on their face after they snap their neck as you leave em behind. Great review!

[@TimKreitzAdventures]

I'm sure they make a set of mid controls for that thing. Buy it! Just make sure you get rid of those stupid skulls on the tank. :0)

[@Thomas-uk5cp]

Tim Kreitz Adventures they do make mids

[@SavageSalad69]

We are finally "doing it with dan" with these bike test rides

[@jaredoliver3547]

This Is How Many Times He Fixed His Left Mirror 👇

[@fvgc454ss]

I've had an 03 vrod with a scratch built t3 turbo putting 158rwhp 104 ftlbs down on 9psi boost. Bone stock engine. Had the turbo on 10 years this year 22k miles. ZERO problems. ZERO Changed plugs twice and that's it. Most reliable bike I've owned. N I have and had alot of bikes

[@MrJavaTech]

Still no magna documentary, huh ok.

[@michaelgillispie9824]

As much as I don't like the Harley mentality I would love to buy one of these and do a custom build with it. Good video dan!

[@CoeMoto]

To the people who hate harleys for some reason, I'd love to hear why...

[@obsoleteoptics]

GT COE Some criticize the bike, some criticize the stereotypical rider, some criticize the brand and the lifestyle it promotes, some criticize the high price, and they're all valid criticisms I've heard over the years. Me, I dgaf, I ride a maxi-scooter and respect anything on two wheels regardless because at the end of the day we're all out here riding and risking our lives amongst the cagers on their cellphones.

[@fatkid8523]

GT COE bad rep for being unreliable, mooshy controls, clunky transmission, out dated engine designs, lots of vibration, lots of parts made in China and other countries. not to mention you pay a premium just because it has the Harley name.

[@voin20]

cos Harley rides think that its the one and true bike and anything else is not good enough and therefor not even showing any respect or even a little nod as they go past...

[@jaked9538]

voin20 not all harley riders...

[@marshallwest5217]

GT COE because of what snowcat said in a video. There are the only motorcycle company that you could walk into a store for and not be able to buy a bike there. Also their "American" bikes, are just Japanese parts assembled in the US of A. On top of that when you wash them, you need to barley trickle the water to not break the damn bike.

[@CBlake1313]

I work at the Harley Davidson Powertrain Factory, I have to say the V-Rod is my favorite bike by far!!!

[@midwestharambe5503]

buy it buy it buy it

[@andrewdaniels3809]

Dan, I would LOVE to see you take a street rod out for a rip! They're so much fun and they're comparable to the v rod

[@rickjones2534]

how the fuck do you put gas in that thing I don't see a gas cap on the tank

[@13RuffRyder]

tanks under the seat.

[@rickjones2534]

brandon Thanks for the info because I didn't see the cap on it

[@TheFraMTK]

the tank is under the seat, it's not in the conventional place for harleys

[@Thomas-uk5cp]

Yea the traditional tank area is just a cover over the top of a coolant tank

[@TheRhs58]

You need to try the Indian Chieftain/Dark Horse. Test rode it in Sturgis and bought one the next week. Absolutely awesome bike, the Thunderstroke 111 has tons of torque.

[@SuperVistaprint]

when you need the germans to build a good harley ;)

[@jverd1152]

I own a street rod which is a variant of the vrod and I love it. It sits a little higher and the pegs are placed like they would be on a sports bike so i can really lean into turns. An experienced rider on a sports bike will beat me but put me against the average joe and you'll be surprised

[@Butchersbikes31]

Ok dan just dan stop it get some help. JK dan 😂

[@Mega4712]

The nailed it right from the off with that laugh, just imagined the grin on your face v rods have more smiles per mile than any other bike I've owned. I,am a short arse and Harley sell short reach pegs (moves pegs up and back) and a short reach seat (moves you further forward both Harley prices though lol.

[@randomonly3018]

with those v rods u got to ride it like a 2 stroke

[@randomonly3018]

and you can get shorter pegs to be closer

[@ghostanime84]

mid controls did it for my 5 5 ass. much better riding then the forward for me. :)

[@RRRob919]

Hey dan I was watching the stream earlier and heard you talking about my video while you're with WOW. I didnt mean to be defacing them while you're working with them. I posted the video before I even knew you were working together. Didnt mean for that and I wanted to apologize to you. I hope you arent too upset with me because as always, I love your channel brotha!

[@jax1079]

V-rod, huh? I never loved those, but I believe Porsche helped design the engine, correct?

[@mrrobotfdyugxzstuhcstyhcdth]

JAX yes sir porsche help build 50 % of the vrod and it was tested at the porsche facility thats why when i ride my vrod other harley riders tell me im not riding a real harley

[@jax1079]

Well other Harley riders are morons, so you do you, man! :-)

[@mrrobotfdyugxzstuhcstyhcdth]

yeah when i go from 0-60 in 3 seconds and they are still trying to get off the line i laugh my ass off

[@jax1079]

Truth

[@onmybike8204]

JAX it's not a harley engine. it's not a true harley without it's heart.

[@KillswitchQueen]

I can't see you on any other bike Harley Davidson offers. The VROD was made for The Dan. It's just plain cool.

[@jasondaniel3534]

hell reason its so fast Porsche designed the engine its made to do one thing go fast in a straight line

[@joshuaholmes7929]

yea and Porsche did the same for BMW

[@fredbrochu8322]

So unbelievably false, it's a Harley engine, lifted from a VR-1000 racebike back when they actually raced. Porsche only helped tune it to make it street legal.

[@willwatson6834]

Jason Daniel its fast BBC they came with a screamin eagle race tuner in it. Plus 115-120ish ho stock. The 02' had 115 of the showroom floor.

[@Bluespade115]

Nice paint work on the tank, You should see some of the custom VRods that are out there.

[@Shimmoda]

Unsub.....

[@Shimmoda]

Just kiddin lolz

[@stealthnight452]

so I somehow missed this video but I actually ended up buying a vrod night rod special. Glad to know you views echo mine. I was gonna get a sportbike but I ended up getting this. A lot of the Harley guys will say that it's the least Harley of them all but I love it and probably for that reason. lol. Like you I'm not a huge Harley fan boy

[@gradywhitman2636]

cruising on a Harley is like doing 280 mph on a sportbike

[@cvzanikos1]

"Guy who likes sport bikes but doesn't like the way they look" That's why I bought a Night Rod Special and love it. I've actually scrapped the crap out of my heat wraps on my Vance n Hines exhausts. She can turn.

[@marcolatn]

BUY A SUPERMOTO

[@Bobby83SWMP]

Dan, they make reduced reach forward controls. They move the pegs back and inch and up an inch I believe. Look into the HD Breakout. I think you will like it.

[@britneyrichardson1729]

sportbike dirtbike my shit not realy a cruiser or harley guy never cared for them

[@gittyupalice96]

I agree.. But, I suggest giving any of these 3 bikes a test ride.. Just to see how insane they really are: Harley V-Rod 1250, Honda VTX1800, Triumph Rocket iii 2300. I have 1000 bikes id want first, but its worth giving them a try lol trust me.

[@09vrodz]

have had my vrod muscle about 8 years , got about 12k miles on it , dam thing runs strong , thinking about something new soon and just cant part with the vrod , it'll just have to be the backup bike i guess

[@SoHPrecise]

ride a low rider s

[@jacobc8809]

They are expensive af honestly compared to most Harley’s and most bikes. Wanted to sell my shadow for a low rider S but a 2017 low rider s is 18,000. No thank you

[@cowartd]

Get it! I've owned a few Harley's, including this specific bike, but the Dark custom version that has a little bit more HP, and they are all great bikes, but they are a bit under powered. It never made since to me that my Ducati 805cc VTwin motor makes 115hp and my dads 1855cc Harley VTwin motor makes 100hp. But they are still great bikes.

[@morphius747]

Victory > Harley

Dan's giggle is contagious

[@thec_l_a_p_p3995]

Dan will you visa marry me?

[@AJEMT87]

Way to give an honest review and try something different. The V-Rod is a hell of a ride. Most of the Harley line rides similar, V-Rod definitely stands out. If you want a real unique ride try an old shovel or pan head bobber. Like a bicycle on steroids. And there are some sick fast sportsters also if you need the speed.

[@o0L4nc3r0o]

I'd rather ride a moped than an ugly Harley...

[@lucasxbecker]

dont trade the magna that bike is the history of this channel!

[@imviking95]

The v-rod is Harley Davisons attempt of a "sport" bike, but they are hella fun and if you get them done up they can go even faster than what you think

[@tomaswhite6708]

I just bought a 2007 Sportster XL1200 low and I'm in love with it. Still like my intruder but idk if I'll ever actually ride it again lol.

[@desTINY_M]

oooo that rumble!!. I like it!!. You should do a little walk around of the bikes so we can take in all the beauty of these bikes :p

[@kevingreer7147]

It's a 5 speed Dan, 2017 is also the last year they make the V-Rod. If you have any questions send me a DM, I work at Harley Davidson.

[@Mytwistedvoices]

I bought the muscle version, the same model you rode. The stock pipes are quiet. I ride it around horses and it doesn’t bother them at all.

As a V-rod Owner (2002 VRSC-A) I just want to say you may want to consider riding this bike again, The V-Rod is a performance bike and the RPM she likes to sit at is around 4k-8k. I promise, if you take it out again and sit in the higher RPM's you will start to truly feel the sheer responsiveness and absolute power that this bike has. Personally I am able to stay in 2nd Gear up until ~80-90 mph. Trust me Dan, it will be worth your time to try this bike out a second time.

Dan For shorter riders Harley sells bars and seats that move your closer to the controls. I'm like you test rode a few VRods, and just had to walk away, I do not have the self control to behave myself. LOL If you are buying used look for a Street Rod it had mid mounted controls, and I'm sure but there was a company making a conversion kit to mid mount controls I'm not a fan of forward controls. I'm a Harley Rider and I wave at all two wheelers scooters to touring riders, if they wave back fine if they don't oh well life rolls on. I like all kinds of bikes, Japanese to Euro to American, don't want to sound like an old guy but I'am been riding since 1978 and have had Hondas, Suzuki's ,Kawasaki is still my favorite Japanese make especially the Ninja line.

Grab a Vrod Muscle, it has more power than the Night Rod, I have a 2014 Vrod Muscle. I used to have the Vance&Hines competition series 2 to one pipe on it but switched to the Bassani road rage B1, 2 to 1 pipe. I switched cuz the Bassani pipe allows me to lean further on right side, its louder, and is more performance oriented, I suggest that pipe over the Vance Hines. If you ever get one hit me up I can give you some Ideas on good upgrades for it.
