Ever since watching that episode of "Ultimate Factories" and the building of the Harley Davidson V-Rod, I got the itch....I've been browsing the web for a nice used model, something in the '03-'06 area....Problem is, my wife and just about everyone in my family would kick my ass pretty hard. Oh well...I'll have to dream a little more, I guess

 

Thats the bike i'd want if i ever got one. Which would be never.

This wouldnt be your first bike, right?

 

Yeah...I don't even have a motorcycle license....yet...Although I have ridden bikes before. Crotch rockets just aren't my thing, but the V-Rod is a good compromise of speed/touring...Something classy and that can move if you need it to..

 

 

Hot bike, but terrible idea for a first bike. Find a nice beginner bike cheap, then get that next.

 

I love v-rods!

 

This is gonna be auctioned off on 9/10 at a dealer auction in Indianapolis...


This one in NC on 8/26...I think i'm in love...ORANGE!

 

A friend has a Night Rod - beautiful to look at, and it goes like h&ll (for a HD) but the ergonomics are awful. Riding it is like sitting in a "toe touch" until your lumbar spine inevitably gives out or your hamstrings seize up.

 

Been there done that !!!

Shoofin, try to get into a BRC course so that you re-learn riding befor hitting the road. Also I would second the advise of getting a beater to practice before you get the bike. Trust me both ego & wallet will hurt a lot less if you drop one during practice. There is always some one with who has the itch to ride out when spring rolls in and then lose touch with it or upgrade to a bigger bike by FAll. Typically the bike prices go down in Sept -Oct time frame and move high in May - June time frame.. if you do it nicely you would lose next to nothing $$ wise on the learner bike.

Instead of losing I have made money when I bought in fall and sold in late spring !!!

 

I have a buddy selling his 100th anniversary vrod if interested.

I personally think the vrod is way to small of a bike. I am 6'2 and felt like I was sitting on a toy when I rode his.

 

my girlfriend and family said they would kick my ass pretty hard as well.

there is a ducati in my garage as of last month.

 

My wife told me she'd leave me.......I start my MSF class next Tuesday

 

lmao. my 48 yr old dad got his bike 2-3 years ago.... custom built...

so i guess if i were to get a bike, my family won't trip out as much

 

my mom told me she was going to kick me out of the house,....but i just got my MSF license a few weeks ago and picking up a 92 CBR600 F2 that needs just a little TLC for great price. it's a beginner bike for me for the end of this season into next then i'll jump up to something newer.

my dad and godfather rides who is his best freind...so it's all good hhaha my mom is still pissed.

 

I couldn't imagine getting anything that wasn't a sportbike myself, but if I had to get a cruiser it would be the V-Rod.....

Still, I find myself in love with the new Gixxer 750 (but I have given up bikes.......you hear that, I HAVE GIVEN THEM UP). Sorry, I have to keep tellinjg myself that...

 

Motorcycles are a terrible investment. You'll NEVER get back the money you spent on it....





























That is one beautiful bike. Harleys have such a great sound....

 

My wife agreed to let me get a chopper....At first she said a vegetable chopper, than she said this:

 

 

Nice...


What did you get?

 

saw your CL on the 605 a few months back, looked great!!

 

More info on that turbo vrod plz.

 

too bad im selling her but thanks for the compliment i appreciate it... i was probably going home or back to uci.

 

i still think this is full of retardedness. the car is hot man...just keep it.

 

you are literally in the same situation i am, mom would never allow me to own a bike or even let me get a bike license.. i love the v-rod... especially the ones that are all black and lowered. too much sex for one bike!!
