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!

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

Harley owners never accepted the V-Rod as being a Harley. That includes the majority of the dealers. You can't sell a product when you talk shit on it.

[@swpost3]

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.

[@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.

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.

[@chrissmith7669]

I’m shopping for a V-Rod either the muscle or Street Rod. I agree, the best thing ever built by Harley

[@HARMARSCH2]

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

[@jeffwiencek4529]

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.

[@Hoodamax]

VROD LOVER HERE. Sad to say there is no good reason that the vrod was killed. It's all about corporate stupidity.

[@RecklessEnterainment]

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.

[@kenstirling5348]

It’s amazing how cheap these bikes are on the used market now. I don’t know why anyone would ever even consider buying a sportster when you could have an animal of a Vrod for the same money

The only problem that the V rod had was that to many old fart Harley riders like my self thought that if a bike isn't over 1500 cc and as big as a truck then it under powered and Harley Davidson has forgotten their racing roots , I liked the looks of the V rod .

[@tomheringer2047]

The V-rod is an excellent first bike. I bought a black and silver 100th anniversary model back in 2003. Absolutely loved that bike. The very low cg and the low seat height makes it very easy to ride. Definitely not a touring bike but is outstanding around town and 100 mile country road trips. It loves to be ridden hard and has a strong pull on acceleration. Just be sure your feet are planted on the forward mounted pegs because above 100 mph, the wind will try force your feet off the foot rests.

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.

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.

As you said, the vrod is the best bike hd ever made, well, yes ,that line of thought does carry a certain amount of weighty, opinion, but apparently the vrod was only made for 15,16yrs, whatever, I caught an article about vrod, and they said, for aesthetics, well I will put 50,50 , on that, I think hd does need to accept some influences from the Asians and the European community, yes, hd ,represent an American tradition, but with the past 50,60,70,yrs of generations showing possible signs of dieing, and fading away, and with the younger generation having possible interest in possibly everything else but a hd, a 4 piston ,v4, ,,,I mean instead of a v-twin, hd could infact carry the 60 degree v 4 motor, with some slight adjustments about the gearbox, I don't mean no disrespect towards the hd ,not everyone wants to ride around the country side on a moped, so I think the vrod definitely needs to come back, with the impressions, like I seen on a video of the Yamaha v max ,it look like it a turbocharged version engine system on it, popular interest might have something to say about the marketing and sales, I've admired bikes for a long time, opinion against opinion, and 5 times out of 10 I'll take a vrod over a standard traditional hd, yes. There are die hard opinions out there, the engineering department might need to start taking a public polling point of interest just to figure out what the general public is gonna say they will buy, vrod was built from 2001 to 2017 ,I don't have the numbers of sales yet, some day I might find them , yes, the traditional hd does have it's own respect, but like everything else that has come to pass, sometimes other products do infact have to be designed just to carry the current traditional stock, I think Harley davidson survival will waver in the balance of the future, public, marketing and sales, the world is full of opinions,,,[e-mail]

Sean, no, no, you got it all wrong with the old man at the grave stone. Ebenezer Scrooge was buried there and the old guy was Bob Cratchit. In the "real story" that rich man gave nothing to Bob so Bob was out there peeing on the grave stone. Bob does this daily and the younger guy was just shielding him from public view.... Yes, the movies make it seem like the rich change and give up money, but they are not rich because they give up money... He was peeing on the grave stone for his son Tiny Tim who died because of Scrooge really not giving a darn....

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 🙏🏻
