after 6 months of looking at every bike on the market, i just purchased my 09 muscle. my vivid black baby brings a smile to my face every time i look at it. the only thing harley about it is the emblems… shift points, handling, and flat out acceleration scream sport bike, but the comfy seat and riding position make it much better. its a great bike for those, like me, who are too old for a crotch rocket, but feel they are not old enough for a lazy boy on 2 wheels. the performance for a box stocker is impressive, and im sure any time now the aftermarket upgrades will catch up. it is frustrating seeing all the upgrades on the market marked “except vrscf” , but im sure that will change soon. great all around bike, definatly not a descision i regret making.

popson – you need to learn how to write English….what a tool you are.

To all the folks that have a muscle thank you for your feedback. I have always ridden sportbikes but the harley vrod muscle is an awesome bike…I can’t wait to take the plunge and buy one by year end…

This is peace of crap, but its american. Muscle with 122 hp? No way. Look similar Triumph, he is best in almost any segment. But Triumph is not american .

Never been a big Harley head until I rode the V-Rod and Night Rod. I was looking to get a nicer house in the down economy but after the test ride I didn’t want to leave without being able to take the V-Rod with me!!!! One bad azzz ride that tosses me backwards with thrust every twist of the wrist! If this was a response to the M109 they did a really good job! The beanie weenies I’m eating for dinner to pay for the bike never tasted so dayum good!!!

I have to admit, MJ, I’m quite jealous.

I have owned multiple bikes over the years, but never a Harley until now. I purchased a 2009 V-Rod Muscle and I am absolutely enthralled by it. The preformance is as close to my ZO6 that I care to experience on 2 wheels and the styling is what sold me. Harley did a great job integrating the turn signals into the mirror arms and rear brake light. The bike is lean, low and fast…what else could you want, but it is actually comfortable to ride. The tree, instrument cluster and handlebars all look like billet work. They have hidden all the wiring in the handlebars and the brushed aluminum exhaust really does the bbike justice. I’m not a distance rider, but for 2-4 hours it is a joy. It turns plenty of heads and most people who haven’t seen one can almost not believe it’s a Harley. I’m hooked.

I’m in Daytona Beach for Bike Week. I rode the VRod Muscle today and it was a blast. I also rode several other bikes from BMW’s to the Triumph Rocket. NOTHING compares with the Muscle in terms of performance and handling. It is fast as heck and smooth as silk. I’m seriously considering trading in my HD Deuce for one next week…I was that impressed.

I bought my Muscle in Sept 2008 and I say for a fact its one hell of a bike! I dont see how Harley could improve it but if they do I would have to consider going for the improved model. As a Muscle owner I can only say its the best purchase I have ever made. Its one SWEET MACHINE!!!!!

Just to reiterate the question from Mark, I can’t decide between a night rod and a muscle. Any experience of both machines? Has anyone compared the Night Rod to a Brough Superior SS100 ? What a classic bike!
Comments would be appreciated.
