Allot of people are wondering why they never put the vrod engine in buells. Its because of the massive weight difference. I have a 2008 Buell 1125r and it weighs a hundred pounds less than this thing. Puts out way more HP and torque and its only 11 grand.
They should stop wasting money on this thing right now. Nobody wants a slow heavy crotch rocket.

If Harley made the V-roehr it would weigh 600lbs (chrome) and if Buell made it is would be ugly.

I own a v-rod night rod and love my bike but its an endless search for hp and now im looking at spending another 10 grand to get that elusive 180 hp can anyone explain how to me how they are getting 180 hp out of 1130 when im looking at going to 1580 to get those numbers and why couldnt harley just offer that sort of hp from factory do they know how much money they are loosing, its about time someone did this with this sort of platform ie v-rod motor especially when its not a great leap in difference to a ducati sure there are some differences but its a v-twin and its water cooled i can see that the v-rod motor will become the new platform to build big hp bikes with.

Just buy a Duke, Hardly driveable should stick to the fat yank market.
