Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson1131 V-ROD VRSCA 2002 Incredible

presentation of the 1131 V-ROD VRSCA 2002

could this be the wind of madness blowing through Milwaukee? In its gusts, ideas are blending and slipping in unceremoniously, shaking up the American manufacturer's design offices. Harley-Davidson is a very conservative company. So imagine the storm when someone wanted to install a liquid-cooled twin with double ACT and 4 valves per cylinder in a custom bike!

this mill is an upheaval for Harley. In fact, its name is none other than Revolution. The manufacturer entrusted its Superbike mechanics (yes, yes, it's true!) to Porsche to turn it into a production motorcycle engine. After the operation by the German engineers, the twin has little in common with either the compèt' engine or with any H-D mechanics. In the V-rod, this 1130 cm3 produces 115 hp, i.e. 50 hp more than the big 1450 Twin Cam (which equips virtually the entire range, from the Fat Boy to theElectra Glide, with the exception of the Sportster). A boiler that perfectly suits the aesthetics of this dragster-custom.

for that's how the V-rod defines itself. It's a machine with a distinctive, bubbling bloodline. But above all, it's a machine that can't leave you unmoved. Long, low and muscular, the machine makes its presence felt, and never misses an opportunity to flatter the eye - passers-by are quick to admire. Full wheels, huge engine, gleaming chrome and superb faux-aluminium tank - this is class. Even a non-amateur can't help but admire it.

philee Model 2003

For me, the best-looking bike in the series since it came out, with its aluminum livery and drag silhouette
Fun to ride, even as a duo, once you've got used to it.
It's wise to have a small fuel reserve attached to the frame, just in case
I love my Vrod 11/04/2020 09:48 Rating : 5/5 Respond to philee

pascal Model 2004

i've just bought this Vrod
i have 2 lights on my dial: a red one on the top right and an orange one on the top left (I think it's the oil one). who can give me the explanations of the lights on the dial?
thanks 08/27/2013 07:02 Rating : 4/5 Respond to pascal

hi
i don't own a Vrod, but I do drive a Deluxe. On a Harley, an orange light indicates an engine fault, but a red light is not a good sign if the engine is running. 08/28/2013 12:54 Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation

eric Model 2002

no custom, not even suzuki's m109, can stand up to the v-rod. I imagine if harley had used a 1800 cc or 2000cc engine like kawa, it would have been crazy 04/15/2007 20:03 Rating : 5/5 Respond to eric

vrod Model 2002

the most beautiful motorcycle in the world," said the previous owner who sold it to me. He was right, and cried when I first came to show him what he'd sold me
Zero range, I ran out of gas in the countryside..... not cool except that the guy who helped me out was a quad byker and liked it so much he was even nicer
Otherwise a hell of a bike
A nice point for the gale force winds of the solid wheels, five-spoke wheels reactor from Harley (expensive but problems solved) and when you love you don't count
I'm looking for a reasonable Harley parts site
If you can, please do so !!!! 05/31/2006 22:24 Rating : 5/5 Respond to vrod

Fred Model 2002

PURE HAPPINESS!! I used to hate Harleys. Two years ago, I saw a V-Rod pass before my eyes for the first time. I couldn't believe it, I fell head over heels in love with this machine. Yesterday was my birthday and I rented one for the first time (first HD in my life too). No comment. World class. Fantastic. Brilliant. The bike as I imagined it. Muscle-packed ride... Now all I have to do is save up to buy one and customize it! 07/14/2005 21:47 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Fred

quel plais Model 2002

i've been riding this superb machine for 1 month now, and it's a real treat in terms of power, maneuverability and beauty. The only hiccups are the duo and the long distances, which will force me to change machines snif
PS: the groupie vacuum cleaner on the rear seat is supplied as standard 06/27/2005 10:29 Rating : 5/5 Respond to quel plais

JLP Model 2002

hi GSXR MAN since I was a kid,I've been on v-rod for 6 months.I love the position I'm 1.70 m the duo where you almost don't recent the passenger powerful enough and not bothered by the ground clearance.I like less the range, the wind grip and turbulence.Difficult to ride at over 120 km/h.price of accessories disproportionate.This is the bike you need to keep your license and have fun.Never one of my bikes has attracted so much attention 04/23/2005 10:42 Rating : 5/5 Respond to JLP

Pat Model 2002

The VROD is superb, it pushes hard and it's a sensational bike... but I still prefer the "old-timers", like Road King, Softail Custom etc... GOOD VIBRATIONS! ;-) 04/08/2005 09:27 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Pat

criticized by those who haven't tried it. fabulous performance, very complete and fun to ride. no more agricultural mechanics. 12/29/2004 21:11 Rating : 5/5 Respond to carol

DENIS A Model 2002

nice bike but that's all.range 150km unstable on windy days, feet forward position unbearable at over 90km/h, duo penible. in short a bike to show off in town. to adjust the valves you have to remove the engine. in short kept for 5 months and very soon replaced by a road king. 12/26/2004 23:51 Rating : 5/5 Respond to DENIS A

A work of art with very healthy handling and a fabulous engine, equally at home on the open road as it is in a number of sports cars (except in corners)... what more could you ask for? 12/26/2004 23:51 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Betadine
