Harley goes high-tech after decades of just updating their lovable antiques. The Harley-Davidson V-Rod VRSCA was the first of Harleys VRSC Rod family. The VRod water cooling, loads of power, handling that could embarrass a badly ridden sportsbike and brakes that stop fast were totally novel on a Harley. Diehards refuse to accept them but the Harley Davidson VRSCA V-Rods a tempting package. More power than a Ducati or early Fireblade and far smoother than Harleys of old. The Harley-Davidson VRods injected V-twin is just chuggy enough but pleasingly torquey at low revs. But as the needle sweeps into the top third of the tacho the exhaust note changes and it lays down some serious power. Tuned Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-Rods are competitive on the drag strip and the long, low styling echoes that.
The Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-Rods modern tyres and modern suspension allied to a modern chassis give wait for it modern handling. Which is great on left hand bends. The Harley-Davidson VRSCA V Rods brakes are very capable and the suspension manages to balance sport and comfort nicely. Few frills on the standard HarleyDavidson VRod and a small fuel tank. The riding positions not like any other bike: The seat`s low, and the pegs extremely far forward. It`s not a comfy position for most people but at least you can dip into the enormous range of accessories. More specs and user manual of Harley-Davidson V-Rod you can see in next overview.
