Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-Rod reviews

I have reached out 3x in the past month expressing interest in purchasing but I have not heard anything which is a bit disheartening. I'm actually ready to purchase with cash in hand. Every time I look at bikes this one pops up. Show less

The VROD started the REVOLUTION. The engine now in the Pan American. Sportster S and others. This engine performs, with power and linear torque that always makes you smite. With a set of Avon's, it almost flickable. Solid suspension and excellent breaks, make this the best Harley ever produced IMHO. Show less

Great bikes,they have plenty power,brakes are very good and the suspension works very good as well.-The water cooling and fuel injection is a welcome change also to help with those 80 degree days and better fuel mileage.- Show less

This is a fun bike with a lot of power and a unique appearance. I’ve had friends call my bike beautiful. At a 120 mph and pulling, you’ll start wondering if the wind will blow one of your legs sticking out in front off the peg. Water cold, single oil sump, 1130cc eye turning affordable crotch rocket. saddlebags will defile it And range of about 130 miles. The aluminum rims and forks put badly. Show less

I absolutely love my Harley VROD VRSCA. It is great riding on long and short hauls and handles great on straight-a-ways. It's harder to handle when travelling slow due to the rake on front end. I have really enjoyed my ride. I would not want to trade it for any other type bike. Show less

I've been riding bikes since I was 10 and this is the best overall cruiser I have been on. If you plan to spend hours and hours touring around the country this is not the bike for you. I like the performance of the Porsche designed engine, rock solid external frame, stable low and long wheel base, all combined with the HD craftsmanship. As for performance. I wound mine up to 7,500 in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and found myself doing more than twice the legal limit. Not sure how long it took to get there but I know it took my breath away. I shifted through to 5th and the Harley pedigree showed itself as the big v twin balanced out a super smooth throaty hum at 4,500. If you are not going to step up and by a high end BMW or Super high end Harley, you can't do better. Show less

It's a little bit rough at low speeds, very, very smooth at high speeds and extremely fun on the twisties! The break fluid reservoir was leaking at 1k miles. I replaced the cap and, other than that, everything is superb. The seat is OK for city rides. I might get a Sundowner for long rides. Show less

It's my second VRod,(still own a 2005 VRSCA). Both are great machines - performance, quality, value. The 2011 Nightrod Special: I love the new color, 240 rear wheel, additional cubic inches, low seat, weight in bottom-not top heavy-perfect balance and five gallon fuel tank. It's a different sitting position compared to 2005, more sport bike type-excellent handling and power. It makes you smile with each mile. Corbin bags coming soon for extended rides. Too bad Harley has no idea how to market their best machine and options for it. Show less

I have owned several motorcycles from Harleys to Hondas. I will say, the look of the V Rod when it first came out had me wanting it. At the time I owned a 2001 Fatboy, 2003 CBR1100XX and a 2001 Buell Cyclone. So, I just couldn't buy another bike. Fast foward a few years and I now own a 2007. I have put over 14,000 miles on it and love every mile. The power is awesome! The look is still impressive. The only complaint is I am 6'4 and the foot pegs are a little cramp on the long rides. But, this is by far my favorite ride. Show less

This is my 5th Harley since 1979 and by far the most fun. I do not jump from bike to bike. When I get one I stay loyal. I do not see myself getting back on a tractor. After about 100 yards on the VRSCB I knew there was something that I had been missing for a long time: power. don't get me wrong; there is a special place in my heart for every Harley I have ever owned and I would not trade them for anything except maybe a VRSC. If you ever get on one you will know what I mean when I say, "WOW. Show less
