WOW

By CJR(Owner), Sep. 18, 2008

Hi, I have been riding for 38 years I am 56 anyway, The Night Rod Special is the most fun bike I have owned. I also own a 1977 R100RS that I bought new. It's fun also but I really like the V Rod these days. I installed mid controls to suit me better the forwards were very uncomfortable for me and it... Read Full Review

2008 Night Rod Special-- Great Bike.

By Jeremy Young(Owner), Oct. 10, 2008

The bike is great. I can not ride any where with out people stopping me to talk about the bike, or to take pictures. The bike I bought has abs. That is a great option and should really be consider when purchasing this. An extremely enjoyable bike to ride that is not only a cruiser but also a racer. Read Full Review

Night Rod Special

By Mike Reese(Owner), Oct. 3, 2008

Great bike, great style, great ride. Owner of many previous Harleys - Sportsters (4), Softail (1), Dyna (1), Touring (2) and VROD (2). Came back to the VROD after 6 years. Still can't understand why HD airheads won't give this bike a chance. Chances are they never road one for any length of time... Read Full Review
