The vrod muscle obviously is not for everyone. But for those who prefer cruising for their enjoyment, rather then dropping a knee into a corner, the vrod muscle is a great way to go. It’s style and character is admired by most who see it on the street; this is a shared experience by all muscle owners, I see. My more traditional Harley never attracted more attention. Onlookers walk past Ducatis’, R1′s and Ninjas to look and comment on my bike. Cars chase me down to the next traffic light to get another look. We muscle owners also wanted performance and we know the notched seat is a design of function not style. A quick flick of the wrist can be extremely dangerous for first timers, but for us vrod muscle owners, it truly is what quality time traffic light to traffic light should be…when we’re not laid back cruising.

I like the title of this, but you guys should know that about 70% of Harley’s are made overseas. On most the breaks are Yamaha. Yes disappointing I know. I live in Milwaukee and the brake systems used to be made here. But not any longer…….

I test rode a Night Rod V-Rod Muscle last summer and came THIS close to getting one. It was smooth, comfortable, and rediculously fast. I had 4000 miles on my father’s Harley at that point, and have always been very impressed with the quality of HD products. But then I rode a Suzuki GSX-R. I went with it.

I can do 115mph in 2nd gear. I’m a happy man.

I bought my 09 muscle in july 09. Have rode long and short riders. a head Turner yes power yes not to mention its american but harley has some of the best customer service there is you arent just buying into a bike but a way of life. They don’t just sell you a bike and say see ya they follow up with ya I’ve Bought almost every make brand new never had that kinda service the only thing that could improve the vrod muscle is a built in vagina cause it has everything else to suit a mans needs!

Bought my ’09 Muscle New Years eve, so far I’ve put about 1,500 mi on it. It’s a blast to ride. I can rip through the curves, tear through traffic, and destroy any other cruiser from light to light. Shifting out of 1st gear you’re at about 60, out of 2nd almost 90, 3rd 110+ 4th I’ve seen 125 but I didn’t look down after that, I haven’t even pushed 5th yet. The only complaint I have is it’s lack of torque. If it had some more bottom end there wouldn’t be too many bikes that could touch it. Pinned in 3rd gear and hammering into 4th is when this thing really comes to life, I still havent’ seen what it will do much after that. Over all though it’s a great bike to ride, the seat doesn’t look comfortable at all but suprisingly is. I ride every chance I get which is normally only the weekends and still put quite a few miles on. Go test ride one.

I have an 09 Muscle (brilliant silver), and all I can say is WOW, love at first sight! I purchased the optional abs and security system and they are great. I ride, although this is my first Harley due to the fact I have always loved bikes with power and speed. The Muscle has both and at 6,000 + rpm it takes every ounce of strentgh to stay on. From the clean tough looks to the 70 + mph in just about 3 seconds, it is awsome. Yes I said 3 seconds. I love this bike and all I can say to anyone debating on buying one is do it! You will not regret it. This bike is a head turner and gets a comment everytime I am on it. The only problem is the gas tank is always empty and my wife is still jealous due to the fact I am in the garage staring at it when I’m not riding it.

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…
