Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson VRSCF 1250 V-Rod Muscle 2015 Rage in the belly

presentation of the VRSCF 1250 V-Rod Muscle 2015

with the V-Rod 1ere du nom, Harley fans received a double uppercut. Milwaukee's first power cruiser abandoned traditional motorization for a liquid-cooled, 4 valves per cylinder engine (developed by Porsche, please). That was the emotional part. Then there was the huge power contained in the twin, which was the second slap in the face. In 2009 came the MUSCLE version to finish the job. A steroidal version of the VRSC hot-rod, cut from metal with bits of rage in the design. From front or side, it's a visual bludgeon.
more squared-off, more muscular, the "Meusseule" becomes the most aggressive of the V-Rod range (with the exception of the former Destroyer, a dragster not suitable for road use). Its 1250 cm3 engine, 123 bhp, huge 240 mm rear tire and massive air intake gills invite Mad Max-like behavior without the sweetener. Beastly, long, bad girl, the Muscle also plays the equipment, finish and winks card. The frame fades into the background, while the upside-down forks, twin exhaust pipes, imposing twin and 2-tone 5-spoke rims come to the fore. Some of the details are flattering, such as the electrical wiring hidden in the handlebars, the turn signals inlaid in the mirror arms, or the LED rear light remarkably well integrated into the shortened mudguard. Less visible yet useful, ABS and an anti-dribble clutch are fitted as standard. With its low seat height (640 mm WHERE MotoId = 5130), the V-Rod Muscle is no queen of courtesy, even with a seat designed to cradle your posterior. With footrests set almost at the same level as the steering column, the rider will feel the pinch under acceleration, and the potato will go to the back after having broken the arms. Since 2011, the Muscle has been fitted with Michelin Scorcher tires. If you're not sure whether to go for the spirit or the look, maybe Marisa Miller can help you see the new attributes(see photo gallery ->).

Bas-Rhin
French Marcopodo Model 2016
Happy owner of a 2011 muscle for 6 years, I wouldn't change it for anything in the world, despite the few small points that need improving
I'm surprised by some of the specifications in the comparison: top speed, for example. It says 200 max, but I can do it without forcing it. The only thing preventing me from pulling more is the wind, which pulls a little too hard at this speed and above. But I've got a good feeling that there's still room for improvement
The same goes for the torque. Rating : 4/5

Hello

I'm not a Harley specialist, but like most motorcycles, you should be able to run on SP95 and SP98.
Regarding stages 1 and 2, I've never understood anything, sorry.
Bonne route en HD. Rating : 5/5

stage 1: you put the bike back in us configuration, i.e. a free exhaust, a free air filter with us intake horns (high flow) and finally you inject a new mapping to get a good rendering of the whole (example of my configuration on my muscle stage1: exhaust vance Rating : 5/5

mine is from 2010 a small oil leak at the front cylinder cover and which runs on the pipe so a little smoke but nothing serious.on the road it kicks ass I'm very proud of it and to see people munching it with their eyes it gives me great pleasure.the consumption and the purchase of tires well I don't look too much at the expense I look rather at the pleasure of having been able to acquire this machine.à plus et bonne route Rating : 5/5
French james_tlse Model 2010
Superb lines, beautiful finish and great acceleration! just the right amount of braking when you come from a Jap, but with practice, everything falls into place. Mine is in US configuration: exhaust vances Rating : 5/5
De la gueule et du muscle!
French Vrscfman Model 2013
2000 km or so with the vrod and it's perfect: same opinion as fsa, a little difficult to handle because of the weight and wide rear tire at low speed, but apart from that it's a real head turner on the road. Great acceleration and truck-like torque. But given the lack of front bubble, it's not suited to high speeds (>140 km/h wind pressure becomes annoying)
For range, I reckon around 250-260 km before the reserve, with a good rev climb in the first 3 gears.
Incomparable looks and nickelle finish, everything is massive on this bike: it catches the eye everywhere I go. On the other hand, the underside of the seat could have been better finished, even if it's only visible when you go to the petrol pump.
Another drawback due to French regulations: we're strongly tempted to install a Stage 1 to avoid lawnmower noise and let the engine breathe better.
Can't wait for the end of winter! Rating : 5/5
French Fsa
Hi vrscfman! same opinion as you on the underside of the saddle and high speeds ... which suits me fine. I've been on stage 1 since October and Vance Rating : 5/5

French FSA Model 2013
Hello, I bought my Muscle black vivid in 01/13. After 5500 km, this bike gives me nothing but thrills, emotions and pleasure. Of course it's heavy and not very easy to handle at standstill or at very low speeds, but it's pure pleasure to ride, considering my size: 1.65m/68kg/51 years old. Contrary to what people say, my fuel consumption is 5.6-5.7/100. I always do 300 km with cool driving and sometimes with gas. The driving position: you get used to it very quickly and it's not as uncomfortable as it looks. In Stage 1, it breathes even better and delivers even more power and torque down low. An eye-catching motorcycle with a strong character, an outstanding engine, a mix of HD and Porsche: a perfect marriage... it's unique and totally GENIAL! Rating : 5/5

French Thurnill Model 2009
In July 2012, I'll have had my V-Rod Muscle for a year now, and I'm having a lot of fun commuting from Lesparre to Strasbourg. It's a really pleasant bike, with a real pick-up and pleasant power...in a riding position that requires good forearms and a neck that has to respond above 140 km/h, but it's a real pleasure... Rating : 1/5
French redge Model 2009
i was lucky enough to be able to try it out at HD in Bordeaux for 20 minutes and I can say that it's a really good machine, beautiful lines that don't go unnoticed and I love that 240 tire. I'm putting some money aside to buy it later Rating : 5/5
