    hahe noticed latley that v rods have taken a diive on the used bike market, some very cheap examples here in sa, this model seems to have taken the the biggest dive in price, are they a dud bike or just an augly unpopular bike with mech issues?

    I rode my mates and was very impressed with the engine but the biggest problem with them imo is the 5 speed box. I wouldn't even swap my 96 for one. Local Sydney dealer was telling me he can't get enough of them ? they seem to be popular with the younger blokes.

    I owned a traditional Harley with a 96 cube engine with a six speed gear box for a while, fun to ride.
    After riding the VROD it ticks all the boxes.
    comfortable , engine performance , handling and the best looking bike on the road.
    And im no young bloke, at the end of the day "each to their own".

    They look good and they go well but they just don't sound like a Harley to me, but as has already been said "each to their own".

    Dont know much about the reliability, but I really like the Lowered black stealth models.
    They really look different. Don't like the look of the stockers.

    In overall power/weight maybe, but to get up on the back wheel...

    The stealth kit ones look like something from a Batman movie
