Different strokes for different folks of course, but at least from what can be seen in that bit of adverstising I'm not going to be a big fan. Of course since I've never been a big fan of of the V-Rods generally guess that's not a big surprise. To those that love them they're no doubt wonderful machines. For me, however, notsomuch [smiley=nixweiss.gif]
Got to wonder about a little of it just from the perspective of what it's supposed to be. With a wider back tire is it no longer supposed to be a sport bike for the cutters and twisties? Is the back tire just a concession to style in lieu of handling (form not following function)? Or maybe folks are just more concerned about going straight ? After all, the wider the tire the straighter it's gonna want to go.
Granted, it's not a huge back tire (by contemporary standards) but it's still a lot larger than what I'd want to wear if my intent was to throw a bike around the way I'd want to throw a bike around if I wanted a V-Rod. Of course who'd believe that Harley would sacrifice performance, control or rideability to enhance style and look to sell bikes [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]
