Vrod Muscle

well until this arrived i was not really a fan of the Vrod's i accepted it was a great bike and has blistering performance but was always seemed to lacking a little - the muscle has the missing link - it looks brutal and i have a test ride booked for Sunday coming, so i will see if it handles and performs better than my Bob

Re: Vrod Muscle

I really liked the looks of it, and was disappointed when I finally had the opportunity to sit on one.
Not at all comfortable for me.
Hope it fits you better.

Re: Vrod Muscle

well i have been and tested the Muscle and i have to say - its the best of the Rods IMO
the new shorter wheel base stops the conveyor belt rear tire ruining the handling and its docile up to 5K then it just lets rip and its non stop acceleration to 9K - i never got out of 3rd on the test ride so i cant comment on the top speed handling but to say it felt more planted than the night rod special i rode is an understatement.
the biggest gripe i have with the Rod's is the forward controls bikes like these need mid mounted controls like the orginal night rod and street rod not the mile far forwards.
will i be buying it - nope as good as it is its not my Bob and i know my Bob is almost on par with the acceleration and is just as quick top end
