You may have figured out by now that I'm partial to Japanese cycles - but again, I'm new to this whole thing, but learning fast. But I have to pay homage to a special high-end, sport-bike, the HD V-Rod. The V-Rod signaled a new wave Harley with a sculpted, polished and anodized aluminum bodywork set developed in collaboration with Porsche. The injection system hails from France, the ignition from Italy, but a lot of the internal hard parts are German, such as the Mahle pistons.
The "Revolution" motor claims 115hp, and most cycle magazines have dyno-tested the V-Rod at 109 at the rear wheel, with 74 ft. lbs. torque at 7,000rpm. Check out the Harley Davidson VSRCA V-Rod Specifications:
