I admire your dedication to the brand, but c'mon.

Or you're trolling, in which case, well played...

it lost to a VFR750?

Fastest 1/4mi bike. The only measurement that is relevant at any time. The only measurement that matters. When was the last time you did the top speed of your bike? Get serious.

All the liter bikes from that year were faster Zx9 r1 gsxr.

But I'd still rather have the Vrod.

As a matter of fact, I can remember laughing when I saw 115 horsepower.
Even funnier, Harley didn't produce the engine.
As a matter of fact I've ridden two v-rods. I was surprised, It's actually a motorcycle. Any other Harley I rode, felt more like a floating pontoon boat.

I saw hd is selling a 131 crate engine with 125 hp for ~7k usd. Probably cheaper than the stages if someone has a Harley and wants power.

Pontoon boat? I always thought the handling was like a wheel barrow full of water.

I love the V-Rod. Long, lean and low.

Mid mount controls FTW.

Perfect platform for a customization project. Just start with a 300+mm rear and go from there...

Here's one that's mid mount.

The 2006 StreetRod had factory mid-mounts, helped achieved a 40+ degree lean angle. V-Rods with the forward mounted controls scraped at like 30 degrees or something silly like that. But they sold mid-mount controls as an option.

After a frustrating few miles I passed one of those silly bikes with the monster rear tire on a section of squirrlies in PA a few years ago. Guys bike leaned more on it's kickstand than he could lean it.

I've been sorta covertly trolling someone for days in various responses.

I don't know if It's just so covert it's quietly flying under the radar (and if I should be amused or disappointed by that) or it's been seen and nobody's bothered to comment.
