A VMAX would have "roached" the FJR if the FJR was not ready. They are just as fast as our fast Bagger!UhOh, my bad. I thought he roached a VMAX!
Neeever mind..

I like the Street Rod but too bad they no longer make these. And don't think they are sluggish, not even comparable to the stock HD cruiser model. There's a pretty cool Street Rod in this months Cycle World thats a made over model from France called the "Speed Rod". Looks pretty cool. Even for an old guy like me. PM. <>< :lol:

Yeah, there's really nothing like screaming down the quarter mile bouncing up and down vigorously on a 'rod.

HAHAHAHAHAH! Well Played.
The Speed-Rod doesn't use oil in the crankcase, it uses KY jelly!

Nope, No Farkles. I'm keeping her stock as possible. Maybe in a few years or so, the value will double! :haha:

Not according to the road tests. They are about 1/2 second and 6 mph (trap speed) apart. That is very significant in drag racing.

I totally agree with you. Want to kiss the Harleys ass go over to a Harley board.
Overpriced, noisy, pushrod junk just 3 of the adjectives I can come up with to describe them.
As someone says above they lose by a LARGE margin in drag race times and speed. NO CONTEST.
Never understood the infatuation some people have with paying so much for such an inferior product.

I Miss Beemerdons!
Did you spank the VRod before or after you pushed Stephen Hawking and his wheelchair down the stairs?

This is funny.
I was curious what they get for these things (Vrods) on the used market and did a little googling.
Check this web site out: Hogs for sale
Anyone notice anything funny about all of these bikes? Pay attention to the 4th column.

You mean an 03 FJR won't go for as much?

So if I put an 03 FJR on the block with 4K at $9.7K she'd fly out the door?
Money talks, bullshit walks.

Huh? Well, yeah considering they cost almost 20 large new vs a new FJR at 13.
But, you clearly missed my point, which was that the highest mileage Vrod in the list has 11k miles on it and it is the anomaly. The average in that list is over 5 years old with 2800 miles on it.

So they can recoup half the cost after 5yrs.
I knew you were picking on their miles, but for me, it's the smiles, not the miles.
