Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson1131 V-ROD Black VRSCB 2005 Sirius Black
the Milwaukee-based manufacturer's surprising V-Rod gets a new version. Nothing exceptional, but a few small changes give it a more edgy look. The frame is painted black, reinforcing the "Bad Boy" look. The engine is in 2 tones: black and silver, its two omnipresent colors playing to the full the feverish character of this street-custom. Black on certain controls and peripherals, an adjustable instrument panel on the handlebars, a more roadster-like riding position... the V-Rod's "DarkVador" touch-ups. As a reminder, Harley-Davidson is very conservative. So imagine the uproar when someone decided to install a liquid-cooled, twin-actuated, 4-valve-per-cylinder mill 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 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.
