This is the kind of video that keeps me coming back to SRKCycles & Bikes and Beards vids. The video essentially stopped because Sean saw a man possibly struggling emotionally and that’s all it took for him to ignore the good time he was having to feel for and pray for a stranger. You’re my favorite type of people. Your true colors shined through and it was genuine and touching. With empathy seeming to be in short supply now a days this was nice to see.

[@waynemurphy4119]

Good man stops what he's doing to say a prayer for a stranger in need, says a lot about you. Love your vlogs, keep it up and God bless.

[@t00lnin]

I deeply respect the praying.

[@mikehargrove4356]

I absolutely agree with Wayne.

[@drewp.wiener1205]

Hey man - I'm not religious and I always skip the bible verses in your videos, but I really did appreciate your words for the older fellow in the cemetery. Every time I see someone in a cemetery my heart goes out to them, and an older man crying with his son, that's sad. Religion doesn't automatically make you a good person, just like riding a motorcycle doesn't make you a bad person - but you are one of the good ones. Thank you for that.

[@MrPAULONEAL]

Having tattoos doesn't make you a bad person either.

[@LONEWOLF-rq5tl]

You skip them, they're literally like 3 seconds long man and religion is man made by the way so I'm NOT religious either yet I believe in CHRIST OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN which whom is very real my friend and seek him with all your heart and you shall find him. There's a HUGE difference in GOD which is real and then all these made up man made religions etc so don't be deceived and don't let man throw you off and away from the 1 and ONLY true GOD of the HOLY BIBLE which your very life and soul and ever around you from even the air you breathe is proof of his divine existence my friend,I've faith in you buddy!

I was a Purchasing Engineer with H-D on the Vrod team. Own a 2005 VRCSE CVO model. Can’t keep tires on it! Also glad to see it’s blood line continue on the Sportster S! You mentioned that in this video before that was released. Nailed it! Knew H-D wouldn’t walk away from the Revolution engine. Just repackaged a few new an innovative ways!

[@bothetinman772]

Been riding Vrods nearly 20 years. I didn’t really care for it when it first came out, I didn’t know really anything about it. But my first Harley was an 04 VRSCB, Black and Harley racing orange. I got it that spring of 05 after returning home from my first deployment. Since then I’ve had 5 more. Two DX, two F, and my newest to me is Eleanor. A 2008 VRSCD dressed in classic black and chrome. Anyone that knows anything about these bikes knows that they are the unicorn of the Vrods. They got the wide frame upgrade with the larger 5 gallon tank and the 1250 motor instead of the 1130. They also came with the lightest factory Vrod wheels. The Nightrod has the taller shocks for more clearance and a better lean angle and keeps the lighter more nimble 180 rear tire compared to the thick 240. What really sets it apart from the majority of the Vrod family is the mod controls with the factory highway pegs. I know it probably would have limited the aftermarket exhaust selection, but this should have been standard on all the Vrods besides just the R and D. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for doing your part and helping Willy and the team build the best Harley ever. I wish Harley stayed with it longer and actually educated their employees better about it. I need 3 off every Vrod. One to ride, one for spare parts, and another to park in the living room just to look at.

[@garretthegun4982]

Saved and paid cash for a used VRSCA anniversary. I have and had a few bikes over the years. It’s the only one that makes me feel like it should come with a black cape.

[@msg7694]

I had my 2012 Vrod for 6 years and only had one problem with a radiator leak. Rode it from KC to San Diego. I had a lot of gas stops but she was so much fun thru New Mexico to California.

Thanks for saying the prayer for the gentleman in the cemetery. I said one along with you.

I wish HD would put that engine in the sportster.!

[@fvgc454ss]

They should have used it in a frame like the FTR Indian made. The engine was originally designed to be used in a sportbike chassis from Erik Buell but harley scrapped the project added 50lbs of mass to the engine making it obsolete for sport bike use. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoKuc4aLhK5qe7M

[@gregorytimmons4777]

@Adam K Obama? Yeah, right. Now why would you bring him up? Now if I mention anything about his skin color I AM racist but .. hmmm ya maybe.

[@nory826]

I think Harley getting rid of the Vrod was a big mistake. They may not sell well, but it was their only stand out bike. Something different. If I had the money, id own one for sure. It's probably my favorite HD to date. Until they bring it back, I wouldn't mind seeing them beef up their Sportster line. Another iconic line of bikes that can be a force to be reckoned with, given the right power plant. Hopefully HD throws their hat back into the ring of performance cruisers soon.

[@lordsmokingmirror]

[@ironheadd79]

Don't forget the "Street" abomination...

[@tedpendagast579]

TIMExTOxRUNx X totally the breakout is the rebadged vrod

[@ironheadd79]

Ted Pendagast I don't get that comparison. The Vrod and the Breakout have less than nothing in common. The Breakout is just a platform shared Softail. The VRod was a stand alone model...which I am sure was a major part in the decision to dump the model. HD has and always will be a big-time platform sharing manufacturer...more "models" with less tooling equals more money. The new liquid cooled bikes look to be a combo of both worlds though. I can see the Breakout buyers being the same customers that would have considered buying a VRod though.

[@mikehargrove4356]

It would be pretty awesome if you guys kept the VROD and made it fully custom as your stores “mascot” bike. Maybe do a video series of the modifications. Everyone modifies sport bikes but I hardly see anyone customize a cruiser.

I ride dirt bikes and atvs but this will be my first street legal bike and the look to it still looks so modern.

[@kenstirling5348]

Your a good guy Sean, listen pinstripes wipe off with a single swipe. Just buy a can of oven cleaner and spray some on a damp sponge. It comes off with no damage to the paint underneath. I pinstriped and lettered for years, when someone’s check bounced and they didn’t make it right within a week or so, I would just wait till nighttime and I could wipe the lettering and pinstripes off of a pickup in less than 5 minutes. Give it a try, it’s a trade secret in the biz!! Love that bike too. Peace 🙏🏻

[@Srkcycles]

+Waveluth what kind of oven cleaner ? Can you be specific please

[@Waveluth]

Srkcycles Sean I always used plain old Easy Off. It’s a foam spray and the results will amaze you. Two swipes and it’s gone. Peace 🙏🏻

i agree with sportsters should be hot rodded from the factory more than they are. i would like to see a factory tracker/brat style sportster with some legitimate handling and suspension...

[@1SaG]

4:20 (nice time-code ;) ) : They tried that whole "Sportster that is actually sporty"-approach with the XR 1200. Didn't work out too well, I guess. Even though I would've bought that thing in a heartbeat. I probably still would, since I still find the styling and the idea of a Sportster that actually goes, handles and stops (more) like a modern bike pretty appealing.

It’s funny you mentioned you want the sportster series to get muscley. The new Sportster S has the 1250 revolution max engine which is basically a newer generation version of the engine that was in the Vrod which is really cool in my opinion lol.

You can take pin striped off with oven cleaner. Put it on for seven minutes. Wipe it off. Clean tank. Do it again. Seven minutes. Might take three or four times. Won’t hurt stock paint. There is videos on you tube how to do it. I did it on my bike and it works great.

That was a beautiful prayer, Sean. God bless you man. This is the ONLY Harley I would ever get. It's the best bike they ever made, largely because Porche helped create and build it, hence why it rarely had issues, and why Harley got rid of it; their ego got in the way. HD is crap otherwise. It's just a name and brand, but they make crap products.

[@tardisrider25]

My uncle had one. I really was into the vrod hype. I really still believe they deserve major points for thinking that far outside the box. That being said when I finally got on one it didn't fit me and felt awkward when I rode it. The upside is obviously the straight power and I actually think the unique styling is nice. The way it handles just isn't for me though. I'll leave them for someone else who might actually enjoy them.

[@jaimeb.384]

I want to buy a Vrod 2004, how big can the real wheel be? I have read that it had a smaller 18mm wheel, compared to the new 240mm ones.

[@fvgc454ss]

200mm on a stock wheel/ fender and belt. U will need to trim the belt guard with a 200. I think 07 up is set up for the 240. But the big 240 uses a smaller width belt but it also eats alot of rwhp with the heavier wheel and tire. The earlier bikes like the 04 is actually faster at mile due to less reciprocating weight of the rear wheel.

Uhh very nice prayer!!!

I think that the tank on the v rod is goofy looking, and I didn't know it was just for asthetics. The off centered pinstriping makes it three strikes. Great performing bike tho. They definitely should have kept that bike going, a muscle bike in the line is always a good thing.
