Muscle hp

[dbmg]

the new from 08 up rods are 1250CC with a claimed 124hp at the crank mine is dropping 116hp at the rear wheel

So then you definitely need to keep them wound up and can not ride a Vrod like a air cooled V-Twin.....
Must be a awesome ride with great handling to boot.....:small3d031:

Have an '09 VRSCF along with an '07 trike by Hannigan. The VROD is a very nice bike. It handles very well and is a gas to ride. Just remember to keep the rpm up. I use 3000 as an absolute minimum. Don't lug that motor and it will serve you well. Ride safe.
