My first bike was a 2007 v-rod (still have it) I learned on it for about 6-7 months before really taking it on the highway though. It’s all about the process. You can start on anything you just have to be responsible and patient before making big leaps.

Couldn't agree more Robby! Id love for them to make a modern day version 👀 Thanks for watching 🤘🏾 #FastLaneGang 🏁

Thank you for this video, most people tell me not to buy it but I'm 34 finally saved up the money for an '08 V-Rod CVO, it's got low miles... And I do love the back fat tire... I agree with you 100%... I will take it easy respect the bike... And I will buy that bike and it's all due to this video... Ride safe bro thanks for the wise words

Love at first sight! The HD V-Rod is my dream bike and I’ll will get one, as a starter for sure! I don’t even want another bike honestley. Only this. The HD V-Rod is the reason I start to learn how to drive motorbikes and I’m so close to get my lisence. Love the Batman look, the big ass, and the dope look! Fcking love it!

As another V-Rod Muscle owner i agree with most of what you say about the bike, they are great and underrated bikes. It's been a while since i've ridden a sport bike but I don't think of the v-rod as having a lot of low end torque. Unlike most Harley's that can make way more bottom end this thing doesn't even way up until almost 5k rpm.

@@FastLaneD The problem with newer Harley's is that all their torque runs out by 5k and they have nothing left while the V-rod is just waking up at 5k. Anyway, thanks for making the videos.

Great vid! Helped a ton!

Thanks for the honest review 👍🏻 I definitely don’t recommend the VROD for a brand new rider taking a road test 😆 but like you said if you just got to have it go for it 🇺🇸🤘🏻

First of all.. you just gained a new follow. Love your content man! Second, I'm getting ready to go pick up my Night Rod Special in about a week and can't wait! Moving up from a Yamaha V-Star 650 after a year break, thus me spending time on KZread. Thanks for the review, and keep putting out more content bro!

Thank you. Helpful. Buying 1st vrod tomorrow. Going from sportster.

Great video my man. Cheers from Canada. Love this HD, this is my fav HD, dig the looks and that Porsche engine. I took my MSF course 2 years ago but haven’t bite the bullet yet to buy my first bike. Decided now to get a bike in Feb, March 2022 (beginning of riding season). Gonna get something easy to practice and then upgrade. My other dream bike is Suzuki Hayabusa. This V-Rod and the Busa are my dream bikes and hopefully one day I can have both in my garage. Great video , subbed and liked.

Great video. Talented review. Great, upbeat personality.

Just got a 2014 nightrod special for my first bike. Lovin it so far.

My 1st ever bike was a nightrod special had never rode before i brought it even has the 18inch apes lol its been awesome to learn on

My first bike was a ZX7R brand new from the showroom. I hadn't ridden for a year and road it away, nerve racking for sure. Key is to take your time and build speed slowly. And definitely don't try and get your knee down on the first corner.

My 2014 V-Rod Muscle was my first bike. The only motorcycles I ever road before was the old 250 CC bikes at the rider course I took. The bike is pretty heavy and the fat back tire makes it a little hairy to turn sharply at first. But I love my V-Rod and do not want to ride anything else. Ive jumped on my sisters Street Bob and her husbands Sporster but prefer the smooth ride and power of my bike.

@@HassanKhan-ck5gq Whats up man? Yeah, respect the power but don't be intimidated by the Vrod. It is a pretty smooth ride really. Just don't try to test your limits until you are completely comfortable and confident in your riding ability. It has a lot of torque and keeps pulling and pulling up in the higher RPM's. Just work on your stop and go and slower turns, The fat back tire takes a little getting used to.

I started out on a 1800 CC Suzuki Boulevard M109r like you starting on mopeds then scooters.

What's up? What do you think of the 03 100 anniversary model?

I traded a 2007 Fatboy for a 2015 Vrod, they are different bikes, the fatboy is definitely more a comfortable, heavy, slow cruising bike, the vrod is more sporty, aggressive, in top gear you push it and the bike pull forward, very fun bike to ride, you cant help it you are happy throttle riding this bike, everybody look at it and when Is parked people get close to look at it, I love it. I had only one problem with this bike and was with the fuel gauge, the rest of the bike bulletproof. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qqVkspapkt2-grA.html

Hell no, that Porsche racing engine is too strong for a newbie. It’s a 1250, with 125 HP at the rear wheel...best to learn on something more meek in my opinion.

@zf4hp24

As an owner, no, it's not really a preferred beginners bike, but not because of the power. That's simply a function of throttle twist and if you're disciplined you'll know immediately how far you should go. It's more the weight and, let's face it, the low speed handling characteristics. Doing a slow-speed, 20' 180 turn on a V-Rod is damned near impossible for a newbie. The scariest part of a V-Rod for beginners is crawling along, not ripping along at warp-speed. Also, for the record, it's 123 HP at the crank. And FastLaneD, where the hell was that ride? That's beautiful countryside.

Mark out West mine is dyno tuned after a basic stage 1. Chart shows 125 at the wheel, so bone stock is a bit less. I will agree however that this was built as a drag bike and sucks at manouvering if you are uncomfortable with that 32 (or close to it) degree lean. If you havn’t done stage 1 with a tuner, you are leaving a lot on the table as far as performance.

Great video but you are wrong about the torque thing. Low end torque has nothing to do with 0-60 speeds. Low end torque means the power comes on in the lower rpms which isnt true at all for vrods. The power is much higher in the power band. Just an fyi

@FastLaneD

4 жыл бұрын

I 100% disagree with you. The power is in the low to mid range on my v-rod. You can feel the bike losing torque as you get high in the power band. The power is high in the power band on my Yamaha R1. It pulls like a freight train until redline. Thanks for watching 🤘🏾

@ir8sht948

You can disagree all you want, but you are wrong. Maybe you are confused about what torque is. Google vrod torque chart. The torque is at the higher rpms.

First bike??? Get an old Honda for $2,000, ride the wheels off it, if you drop it? Who cares. Ride until you stop dropping it and having "Oh Shit" moments, THEN buy a nicer bike. A Vrod is totally wasted on a new rider, especially if they fuck it up and get killed in the process.
