I call it, bike ramrod. Say it. Just say it.
So the other day I was wondering what the Harley-Davidson V-Rod would look like if I squirted some Deca-Diabolin in the tank, and lo-and-behold H-D already tried it. Say hello to the 2009 VRSCF V-Rod Muscle.
The VRSC family also includes the original V-Rod and the Night Rod. Apparently Harley needed another bike on their only platform powered by a liquid-cooled V-Twin engine, and spicing up a bike happens to be much easier than an all new build, but hey, no complaints here.
With an immensely powerful physique tastefully veiled by a sculpted grace that would make even Michelangelo step back, the V-Rod speaks to a more domesticated Hog. The Muscle features a super-phat 240mm rear tire, propelled by the Revolution 1250cc V-Twin liquid-cooled engine. If the Brembo triple-disc brakes aren’t enough to quell your fear of stopping this beast then you might want to throw in the optional ABS.
The V-Rod Muscle is fitted with a fuel-injected, 1250cc, DOHC, 8-valve, liquid-cooled ‘Revolution’ v-twin which is rubber-mounted on a hydroformed steel perimeter frame, and fused to a five-speed gearbox.
Straight-line performance is flaunted with a power output of 122bhp at 8250rpm and 110Nm of torque at 7000rpm.
- 19-inch (front) and 18-inch (rear) cast-aluminum wheels.
- Suspension is 43mm USD front fork and twin rear shocks.
- Brakes are Brembo.
- Satin chrome straight-shot side pipes.
- Harley’s Smart Security system (optional)
- Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) (optional).
