Wow is that ugly. And the riding position is ridiculous:

Typical Harley, all about the looks, poor performance.

Seems it's for 6'5 tall people.

Looks like a righteous ride for Boris the Animal

Looks like it was dunked in used oil.

meh...my two-wheelin days are long behind me...and that thing just looks uncomfortable for any kind of long ride.

I like the way it looks as an art project, but it looks very uncomfortable to ride.

Lots of customized V-Rods around, the Germans went crazy with them. The one up there looks like it started life as a DX, and it doesn't look all that far from stock to me.

Personally I think my D was a better looking machine.

Nice. I visit Ocean City MD once/year and spend weekend with old college friends. One day by accident a biker weekend was going on. It was an amazing site. We hung out on a corner at night drinking and watching the parade of bikes.

Harley Night Rod. Version of the V-Rod which I've loved for years

The bike in the pic is actually a DX, the Night Rod Special. Mine is a D, the Night Rod. The only V-Rod that came stock with mid controls.
In 2008 Harley refreshed the V-Rod line with a 240mm rear tire, increased displacement from 1130 to 1250cc, a slipper clutch, Brembo brakes and a 5 gallon fuel tank. That was also the last year they made the D model as the DX had better sales.

The all black look never rang my bell. I really liked the chrome engine kit as it added some contrast to the overall look.

It's a shame Harley dumped the best engine they ever built.

I got a kick out of the viper cycle from a few years back. Not enough money on the planet to get me to turn the engine over though.

What's with designs where you need to have really long arms???

 

[[DHT]Osiris]

What's with designs where you need to have really long arms???

Well for something like that you absolutely have to keep your legs off the engine, which means you're leaning forward like a sportbike. That said, the whole design is insane and can hardly be considered reasonable for normal usage.

They'll give you stubbies.


Like where your arms and legs used to be.

I prefer the futuristic aesthetic of the Tomahawk (with the Viper engine) but it doesn't look any more comfortable to ride.
