  • NEED MORE MUSCLES FOR OZ!
    By  (I am an Owner) on Mar 27, 2010

    G'day folks. I've had a couple of Jappa's and harleys in the past (16 over 28 years), I loved my 07 fatty but this machine takes the cake! Tough looks, great handling for the weight, Power on tap straight out of the box, fantastic build quality. The only problem here in the land of oz is that there ...

  • V Rod MUSSEL
    By  (I am an Owner) on Dec 07, 2009

    I traded in my Suzuki GSXR 600 for the 2009 Harley V ROD, The first impression was that it was sleek, and just made for young riders. On start up with stock exhaust I expected much more of a rumble from the bike, and that left me very unimpressed. How ever changing to an aftermarket Vance and Hynes ...

    The help from Porsche did an amazing job on the design the bike, having the front vents on an angel just made the bike more appealing to the eye.

    The only one this that I would wish for is that the bike had a 6th gear, for some reason I keep thinking there is another gear. Would be nice for very long rides.

    One other thing I wish was that if the bike had a little more torque and some more horse power. Look like that will be my next investment is to increase power to the bike by 35 percent.

    Over all amazing bike, and convinced a friend to buy one as well.

    I give it 4.5 out of 5.

  • Great bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Oct 06, 2009

    I rode an 02 vrod about 3 years ago and fell in love with it. I decided to buy one for myself and put it off but when the new vrod muscle came out I had to have one. It was the best decisions of my life. This bike has it all. It is very comfortable to ride and is easy to manuever even in tight areas ...

    I have owned and ridden a lot of different kinds of bikes over the last 27 years and this one has it all hands down. I would recommend this bike to anyone who truly appreciates class power and style.

  • I don't care WHO built it, the VRSCF is a fantastic ride!!!
    By  (I am an Owner) on Feb 16, 2009

    I traded in my '03 VRSCA with 45k miles on it and a trip to Sturgis under it's belt. My "F" now has 2k plus on it and I have yet to hit the pegs (or my heel) on the twistys. They state the same lean angles on the spec sheet but, I think the 240mm lends a better lean than the 180mm I had. I have almost ...

  • Awesome machine
    By  (I am an Enthusiast) on Jan 28, 2009

    I just purchased it a week ago. First ride poker run 37 degrees can't stay off of it.

    I my opinion great buy 120 up, 240 tire, led lights, and nice wheels. All things that have to be done to anything othe than a CVO bike. Handles great and incredible power all stock.

    Plus ...

    I waited a very long time to buy my bike 13 year and glad I did this bile is the one.

    I've owned my new Muscle now for over 6 weeks, and I must say...WOW. Everything about this bike is amazing, performance is out of this world, coupled with the ins and outs you'd hope to find on a HD. I can't even ride any other bikes anymore, I totally recommend this ride...you won't regret it. ...
