Harley Davidson V Rod specifications and review

Harley Davidson motorcycles are considered one of the best in the world; there are so many models and different modifications that you can even get confused, but now we will learn to clearly distinguish these motorcycles. There is nothing complicated here: there are only 8 groups: Sportster, Dyna, Softail, V-Rod, Street, Touring, Trikes (three-wheeled Harley-Davidson), exclusive models of the CVO family. Let's talk about each of the groups separately and find out how they differ.

Disadvantages of the model

1. High price.
2. Stiff suspension.
3. The rear view mirrors do not provide a very good view.
4. Huge weight.

The V-Rod Muscle is an image bike, in the creation of which Harley-Davidson, however, as always, hit the target. Due to its appearance, it attracts the attention of both men and women. He is not a long-distance driver; this is due to the small tank and the lack of body kits and windproof glass. But there will always be a buyer for it, since everything in it is made with reverent feelings for the future owner, as befits a bike from Harley Davidson.

Reviews from Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle owners

Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle, 2009

I have long wanted to buy myself a Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle, but the price put me off. In the end, I still bought it, which was largely due to greed. At the beginning of March, I went to the states for Daytona Bike Week and went for a bit of a ride. Initially I wanted to rent it to get to know it better. But the rental cost was calculated at 160 per day, or slightly less than 4 thousand per month. So I decided to add and buy. I bought a motorbike from a dealer with less than 1000 miles on it, without registration and owners from the showroom. The motorcycle is excellent, just for my character, you can do it imposingly, but you can also shoot (it picks up 120 miles at a stroke), it becomes scary, it’s still a provocateur, it takes corners perfectly, I want more and more. The Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle brakes have nothing to compare them to, they are simply excellent. The seats are hard but comfortable, the seating position is normal, after 150 miles nothing falls off, it doesn’t get tired, and after that you have to think about refueling. At low speeds it is quite stable, despite the weight of 300 kg - this is, of course, a merit of the roller and the low center of gravity. There is no need to take out the keys, they just lie in your pocket, and when you stop and turn it off, it immediately goes into security mode and if the key is further than 5 meters, it will not start. I drove 7,000 miles in a month and never regretted the purchase. Now the shortcomings that I felt in Russia are the light is weak, I need to order xenons, the suspension is leaking, I will need to fill in thicker oil and install springs in the front and tighten the back. Naturally, gas mileage or am I just “lucky”, the tank according to the computer is 160 miles, but after 200 km you need to fill it up, on a wet road you will be dirty, for the sake of style there is no rear wing, of course there is a “kit” with the ability to install a number behind the wheel, but “show-off” is paramount, the sight of the 240th skating rink still fascinates. Regarding maintenance, I changed the oil and filter before shipping, I bought a new set on Ebay, I’m also going to buy something there to work on in the winter. The overall result is that the motorcycle is excellent and I don’t understand why many people criticize it (although I understand that few people are brought for sale in perfect condition, more and more whatever is cheaper). After the Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle, the Suzuki is like a bicycle.

Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider 2000 → The story of how I bought a Harley…

Good day, friends. I decided to tell you how I chose a wonderful horse for myself and how I came to an overseas miracle))) It all started with the fact that I decided to change my faithful Honda X4 (in my opinion one of the best motorcycles) for something else, because I’m young and want to try something unknown. I also looked at the Austrian stallions in the form of the KTM Super Duke 990,

as well as Italian horses in the form of Ducati Hyermotard and Ducati Monster S2R.

I searched mainly at Japanese auctions, but sometimes I also looked at ad sites. And then one fine day I came across a train from 1989 for 320 tr and it was only 30 km from me

I won’t say that I always dreamed of a Harley, but given how much they cost, I didn’t consider it for myself.

I went and looked at the condition and it turned out to be very good considering that he is my age. But I refused to buy it, I won’t go into details why, but from that moment I started looking at a Harley for myself, but I didn’t discount the previous options either

I won’t disclose the companies that I considered for ordering a motorcycle (because they will say it’s an advertisement), I will say one thing that I looked at motorcycles from insurance auctions and auctions in Japan, and of course I looked at the message boards. As a result of the search, I found Dyna, which I had seen before, but did not consider due to the high price and spoked wheels. And here it is with a very good discount, plus after communicating with the manager and objective bargaining, I managed to reduce the price even more, as a result the motorcycle cost me 280 tr. Motorcycle from Japan with no estimated auction with mileage of 58,000 km. After deciding to purchase, checking a company previously unknown to me, studying all the reviews, we agreed on delivery from Vladivostok to Belgorod, as well as payment. And the long 20 days of waiting began, hoping that it would not be bricks that would arrive. And then the bell rang, the cargo arrived. Arriving at the warehouse, the storekeeper said that the cargo was damaged, so what are you taking out, we will look at the scale of the tragedy. After inspection, it turned out that there was nothing particularly critical, but not much pleasant either. The transport company that packed the motorcycle made a poor-quality crate and as a result, the mounting lever bracket was broken,

The belt protection is jammed and the wheel is punctured. Fortunately, the transport company did not give up on its jambs; a damage report was drawn up, photos were taken, and a price list was drawn up indicating the prices for the damaged parts. After all these procedures, within 5 days I was returned the entire specified amount.

That's how I became the proud owner of this miracle of technology, the motorcycle is in stock condition, except for the footpegs, heated handles and the passenger backrest. But my crooked little hands have already reached for the tools.)))

After riding the rest of the season, the motorcycle was put away for the winter. Well, while it’s not the season, I’m slowly tinkering with it: I made and installed a crash bar, replaced the steering wheel, ordered a fairing and a bunch of other tuning things. So that's how I became the owner of a Harley-Davidson Dyna low Rider. Good luck to all!

Harley Davidson V Rod specifications and review

Harley Davidson is a motorcycle manufacturer that is known both to the biggest fans of two-wheeled vehicles and to people who have never sat on the seat of a real bike. This brand has existed for more than a hundred years, and during this time it has produced a large number of legendary motorcycle models. One of them is the Harley Davidson V Rod. It is this bike that will be discussed in our review.

Exterior of Harley Dyna Low Rider

The powerful, athletically built Harley-Davidson Dina Love Rider has long been loved by people, bikers, who spend a lot of time behind the wheel of this luxurious motorcycle. The footrests and pedals are placed in the middle, and the saddle and handlebars can be adjusted. The front brake is a 2-disc, the ignition works without a key, as well as a powerful engine – Twin Cam 103, which sounds through a chrome exhaust structure with 2 shortened pipes.

The style of the Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider has been verified by numerous statements from buyers from all over the world - this motorcycle can be recognized by the front light fairing. The single saddle and shortened fender at the rear give the brand a distinct look. For the effect, only 1 shade was used - black. Everything is done in this tone - the rim on the front light, the motor and the end of the pipes.

External data is usual for this famous motorcycle manufacturer, at the highest level. Individual color tones, large number of very high quality chrome parts.

Background

This model has quite a long history, since the first V-Rod was released back in 2002. As soon as the new Harley was introduced to the general public, a lot of criticism flew towards the V-Rod model. One part of the brand’s fans considered it almost perfect, while the other completely refused to accept the new motorcycle. The reason for this controversy was the new engine, which was now equipped with water cooling. In honor of this, the new engine received an exclusive name - “Revolution”. However, the most dissatisfied were the avid fans of the Harley Davidson brand, who were supporters of the classic design of the motorcycle. The rest of the two-wheeled enthusiasts found the installation of water cooling on the new Harley Davidson V Rod quite successful.

Over several years of active work, several modifications were made to this model, each of which revealed the motorcycle and its appearance from a slightly different perspective. In addition, after some time everyone came to terms with the new cooling system, since, following the Harleys, manufacturers from other companies began installing water cooling in their motorcycles. It turned out that the Harley Davidson V Rod became one of the first motorcycles to receive the new product.

Tuning and repair

One of the reasons for the incredible popularity of this brand all over the world is the truly immense possibilities for tuning and simple repairs. Any Harley-Davidson is a construction set for adult men, in which everything can be replaced. Do you want a new engine with a capacity of about two and a half liters? Easily. New transmission? Please. Wheels, seats, fenders, body kit, gas tanks, carburetors and injectors... Absolutely everything in this motorcycle can be replaced if you have enough money. Moreover, in addition to the official tuning catalog, Dyna parts are also produced by dozens of other manufacturers.

Repairing the bike is also easy. The only peculiarity is the inch system. Models of recent years, officially sold by Russian dealers, are already equipped with metric bolts and nuts, but those copies imported here from the USA are still inch. In practice, this only means that you will have to acquire a set of American tools. But this doesn’t make it any more difficult to maintain or repair your favorite motorcycle.

Technical features of Harley Davidson V Rod

As for the technical part of this model, there is something to discuss. It’s probably worth starting with the engine, since it has become a kind of highlight in the new Harley. In addition to installing water cooling, the engine received a cylinder camber angle of 60 degrees, as well as an overhead camshaft. In the V-Rod model, engineers decided to make the engine exactly like this for the first time. The fact is that on old Harleys the cylinder angle was 45 degrees, and a lower valve timing mechanism was used. However, this time, Harley Davidson set the task of extracting more power from the engine. Then it was decided to borrow the idea from sports motorcycles, which even then had a cylinder angle of 60 degrees.

By the way, there is a myth among motorcyclists that this engine was developed jointly with, but in fact this is not entirely true. The fact is that the Porsche concern has a department that tests and tests new engines. After development, the engine from the new V Rod was sent there in order to receive proposals for its improvement and refinement.

If we talk specifically about numbers, the V-twin engine of the new Harley Davidson V Rod received two cylinders, which in total produce a volume of 1250 cm3. The motorcycle's power was 119 horsepower, and quite good torque - 113 N/m. The listed characteristics allow you to accelerate the motorcycle to 223 km/h. For a model with a dry weight of almost 300 kg, this is considered a fairly good result. By the way, we were also pleased with the consumption; as the manufacturer assures us, the V-Rod consumes 6.3 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle.

What's with the comfort of the Harley Davidson Dinah Love Rider?

The developers have modified the handlebars, seat and footpegs for a better ride for bikers of medium and small stature. Now it is possible to move the steering handles closer to the steering wheel by as much as six centimeters, and to move the saddle forward by 3 centimeters. Any problems, of course, cannot be avoided, but this has greatly improved the ergonomics. Using a similar method, the footrests themselves can be adjusted, so customers can find the best position.

But, regardless of the rider’s height, the knees are too high at the elbows, and the saddle is too low. When purchasing, you need to test the bike; not everyone will like its unusual fit, and for some even it will be uncomfortable.

This bike looks out at the track beyond its small fairing and is easily recognizable. For fast driving at a low landing, you need a fairing. The designers placed the canopy deeper into the windshield - this moment gave the bike an aggressive look. This motorcycle is quite powerful and easy to control. The motor is air cooled. The bike has Premium Ride suspension components at the front and rear, which provide better handling and high comfort.

Nice rack-mounted handlebars, an updated saddle and mid-mounted controls give the biker's riding position some aggressiveness. The braking structure is equipped with ABS. The “base” includes a Harley-Davidson cruise control system and alarm system, equipped at the enterprise. The motorcycle is quite easy to control, equipped with all the devices that should be in modern motorcycles.

The bike is light and mobile, superbly assembled. The Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider includes all the hallmark street custom features that define its segment. The basic equipment includes exceptional paintwork, giving the brand an original look.

Wheelbase

Separately, I would like to talk about the wheels of the V Rod model. From the factory, the motorcycle is sold with a 19-inch front disc and an 18-inch rear disc. Most likely, this was done more to give the appearance of the motorcycle a little brutality, since the rear tire is 240 millimeters wide. This size, by the way, allows you to feel the motorcycle better, and when riding the bike gets fairly good grip on the road. But here it’s immediately worth noting that factory tires are not suitable for racing, even at the entry level. It’s better to move around on it calmly, sometimes twisting the throttle, since it’s pointless to do this from the start - the wheel just spins and the tires wear off. This model has quite a lot of potential, but in order to fully realize it you will have to install quite expensive tires intended for racing.

Pleasant advantages of this model

The new Harley Davidson V Rod is somewhat different from previous motorcycles. The first thing that is very important for buyers is the presence of modifications. The modern V-Rod has two.

This modification is distinguished by an exclusive dark color and the absence of chrome surfaces. The motorcycle has a very aggressive and intimidating appearance, as well as increased torque.

In appearance, this is a simpler model, although compared to the Night Rod, it costs a little more. In fact, these two modifications are distinguished only by their appearance. In the Muscle version we have the opportunity to choose our own color, and we also get chrome elements as standard. The Night Rod version has neither of these, which is why it received the additional word “Special”.

Another nice feature is the presence of the ABS system. Moreover, it is available even in the simplest configuration of the V Rod model. You can also note the exclusive look and new engine.

Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider Engine

In motion, the Harley Davidson Love Rider is powered by a 2-cylinder V-shaped engine, the volume of which is almost 1.7 liters, air-cooled. Engine vibrations are kept to a minimum thanks to rubber “pillows”, with the help of which the engine is attached to the motorcycle frame. The motorcycle engine has an almost even power cycle in all speed ranges.

Maximum torque at 3500 rpm, 126 N/m. The engine is 4-stroke, eight-valve, with electric. structure of sequential fuel injection. The maximum speed of the bike is a little over 200 km/h. The gearbox works just fine.

Also in the Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider motorcycle, the designers have improved the suspension - the shock absorbers at the rear now have a different design, they are soft and practical. The fork travel at the front is 130 millimeters – a good indicator. In conclusion, we can say that the bike’s suspension is designed simply beautifully.

The braking system of the Harley Davidson Love Rider is quite remarkable. The motorcycle has 2 30 cm floating disc brakes on the front wheel and a 29.2 cm disc on the rear wheel. In addition, the functional equipment includes ABS. The front brakes are 2 floating discs with four piston calipers, the rear brakes are 1 disc with two piston floating calipers.

It doesn't matter what label you put on it: sport cruisers, power cruisers or muscle bikes. All three are motorcycle analogues of the “hot rod” phenomenon, which has long been known in the automotive environment. Yes, yes, Harley Davidson, Ducati and Yamaha are exactly hot rods, spectacular, powerful, loud and - how could we not be without it! - incredibly fast. These qualities have been characteristic of them since the time when the progenitors of the first hot rods began to try their hand at the dry salt lakes in Southern California in the 30s of the last century. But, having gone through the chain of evolution, some members of the family came to the principle of “appearing, not being.” I'm glad it's not all.

Conclusion

Harley-Davidson is not just a motorcycle, it is a cult. If you want to get in on the action, the Dyna is a great choice. And when you can list at least three dozen existing modifications of this stylish chopper without hesitation, you can safely consider yourself a member of the “American sect.”
