I understand the "love it or hate it" on the V-Rod.....

I bought one just to try it and liked it for a back and forth to work bike.

Took it apart, paint the frame and all, change wheels to P.M. 's and some other work .

I never liked the foot peg's up front, or the small tank.

With the street rod, I will be going to dealer to see how much it is going to cost for the new gas tank and if the new mid-foot pegs will fit on my 02

Will they sell a bunch of them.......don't know, but I think as a around town bike this will help sell them.........If they sell them at.....13,000.00 or less.

Have not found any price on them, I will look at their web.

My 2 cents .  While it's not a huge change , it is a nice option for those who want a bike more suited to the twisties.  The tighter rake, inverted forks, mid controls and Brembo's are welcome addition for those who appreciate a bike for canyon carving.

Styling wise I'm not impressed , but it's a nice variation on a theme for the niche .

There is a multi-page review of the new H-D Street Rod in Motorcyclist Magazine. This is traditionally not an H-D endorsing publication. They gave the Street Rod glowing reviews.

One especially interesting point they make is while the VRod held its own for sales in the U.S., it broke no records. However the VRod is becoming widely accepted and is taking off in Europe and Asia. They predict the Street Rod will usurp the VRod.

Read that article today, good report on the bike.  My dealer had one of these sitting out front when I pulled up on Friday.  I asked when we were going to get test rides and the sales guys said they didn't know about that.  Bike looked interesting, would be fun to ride and see what it was like.  Rode the Vrod and liked the power for an around the town bike.  Bet they sell a few of these.  Later,

Found a short review on the new Vrod. There's a link to a video of the guy riding a wheelie on one:

After having recently seen on this site to V-Rod to end all V-Rods all stock V-Rods are pale imitations.  Just hard to get worked up over.  I would love to know, however, if the front calipers on that new V-Rod would interchange to our bikes.
