Is this the RAREST Harley-Davidson we have ever had?

[@PJCookAC-130]

I scored a super rare 2008 Miller Lite Special Edidition Night Rod several years back with only 22 total mi on her. I got a custom set of headers made with a spinning Tailgunner Minigun Exhaust Pipe, Power Commander 5 with a super tune, HD Sundowner much more comfortable saddle and pillion, rear rack w short backrest and 180 sized HD saddle bag kit. What an awesome bike! You could not buy one either...must have won it in the Miller Lite contest and there were only 170 given away in the USA!

Friend used to have an original VROD, it was sick. That CVO youve got is on another level entirely. Im a sportbike guy, but Id DEFINITELY cop that CVO instantly. What a badass bike. IMO you ought to keep that thing bro, its just TOO SWEET👊🇺🇸

[@rbszx14r56]

I owned a 2015 V rod muscle for 2 years easily the coolest looking bike I've owned. But what I didn't like was the front brakes wouldn't stop very well in a fast stop. Also only a 5 speed ,at highway speed it was screaming in your ears. But it run very strong, and the ride was comfortable. Thank you for the word of the day.

[@timsretirementjourney8323]

I'm not a Harley guy but have to admit that's nice. Yeah that shift light would drive me nuts pretty quick. If it's adjustable I'd have it come on a couple of hundred RPM before the redline. Did you ever see the "Pinks" show where the Paul "Paulywood" Hart ran a V-Rod against a old '83 Suzuki GS-1100E and lost the V-Rod? Good show and pretty good race to be honest.

It took two years for me to like the V-Rod. I started to get used to the look of them, and then rode one in August 2003 in Milwaukee. Wasn't long after that I bought one. I've got a '03 100th Anniversary VRSCA, and I love riding it.

Bike certainly needs a 6th gear as they are only made with 5. Compare the Vrod with like riding an 883 and then stepping up to a 98ci big twin the acceleration of Vrod over a stock Big Vtwin will make you leave the Vtwin parked. Probably a 45hp upgrade anyways.

They stopped making them because of poor sales. They had built a special facility for the V-Rod. It’s now used to build spotters I believe. It still is a great bike but the die hard Harley fans just never did fully accept it. Especially with that engine designed by Porsche, RIP V-Rod...
