2008 1200 custom sportster is garbage
By (I am an Owner) on Sep 23, 2021in order to do any work on the transmission you have to completely disassemble the entire motor . This is a stupid design change and why it makes this bike junk . Before this you could unbolt and remove the tranny after pulling clutch basket off . Very simple and easy to do . Now you have to completely ... disassemble the entire engine . This ruined this bike and turns a cheap tranny problem into a major very expensive ordeal . If you buy it you will learn the hard way . This design change could not have been made for any other reason then to overcharge for repairs. It makes this bike junk . it makes srpairs unafordable and now I have to explain to a nice young lady about how the Harley Davidson dealership screwed her when they suckered her into buying this junk . It's now yard art becasue its repair cost is higher then the bike is worth . Absolute junk

Puts the rice burners to shame!
By () on Jun 13, 2010I bought an 2008 v-rod - night rod. Not nearly as flashy as my old mans 2006 screamin eagle, but I have no problems keeping up with him....and MUCH less chrome to polish! AND - When we stop for gas (cause he is empty)...I still have half of a tank!
Gives people time to oogle HIS bike, ... and ignore mine (mine is crimson denim...his is orange, black and chrome...oh well
Love my vrod...powerful, agile, what you call a "sleeper". While they are staring at the pretty orange one, the dark red one is zooming past you. Harley Davidson needs to put a bit of advertising behind this one. It would appeal to a bigger audience if more people knew about it, and might sway the potential buyers who are stuck on "classic" Harley looks!

smoke and lightning
By (I am an Owner) on Jul 20, 2009Have been riding a 2005 Mean Streak for the past 2 years and thought it was a great bike until I got my new Night Rod. Cant believe the difference in power and handling. The center contols make the handling of the bike quite remarkable for a cruiser and the acceleration feels like an import crotch ... rocket. Factory pipes sound terrible but I will find some after market pipes to liven up the bike . Great motor cycle , very satisfied with my purchace.

Awesome Bike
By (I am an Owner) on Dec 20, 2008It is too bad that they stopped them in 2008 ... if you want mid pegs with the VROD series, this is it! Power, comfort, and no issues.
