2009 Harley Davidson V-Rod Muscle

Filed under: Transportation

If you’re a real American, you buy American. Nothing beats a true Harley Davidson for touring the country, getting laid and fucking people up in bar fights. The new 2009 V-Rod Muscle motorcycle continues that tradition while also raising the bar for badass bikes everywhere.

You’ll find a liquid-cooled 1250cc Revolution V-Twin engine that outputs ~122 HP and 86 ft lbs of torque at 6500 RPMs. Check out the styling though. Specifically, the Brembo brakes, 240mm rear tire, dual straight shot side pipe exhausts and a generally clean look overall. At $18,000 it’s one of the most expensive motorcycles on the consumer market.

…but you know it’s so worth it.

I think its great that Harley continues to expand it’s model base and although I love the Night Rod Special, the Muscle looks pretty good too. But come on guys, Muscle…really?

My friend had a Harley.

She is 4″2 and loves hers.

I’m now thinking of purchasing one.

I’m not really into Harleys, however, she showed me the VRod and I love it.

Any feedback?

Peace,
Marine

Nice bike but not really a muscle bike with 122 hp.

Just rode one. For an out of the box Harley this baby will move. Heard claims of 70 m.p.h. in 2nd with plenty left to go. I liked it once, I remembered where to put my feet.

I just purchased a 2009 Vrod Muscle on Saturday….traded in my 2007 Sportster 883C and all I have to say is it is the funnest bike I have ever riden. Powerful, comfortable, a sure fire head turner…..money well spent in my opinion. I can’t believe it’s a harley and while old school purist may not like it becuase it doesn’t look or sound like a harley…..I am thoroughly impressed with this bike.

If you think it’s not a muscle bike with 122 hp…take it for a ride and see if you can hold on to the handle bars ;)
