Your cinematography is so good. I'm personally glad you bought the Vrod, I came for the Indian content and stuck around for YOU in the long run. Your content is fresh, unique, and filmed so well. I enjoy your channel and I'm glad you have such a variety. That being said I'm still waiting for a new indian to pop up in that collection of yours 👀. Lol but for real great work brother and just keep doing what your doing. You've inspired so many to become riders and that's awesome.

So much appreciate your comments. You're the best version of you, so listen to yourself and to heck with everybody else. You have a couple cool esoteric bikes. Not many folks can say that!

shame they discontinued the V-Rod. It was the coolest thing in the HD line-up imo, it was the sharpest bike Also, awesome that you named your bike FakeHD, HD didn't know what they are missing out on. My Scout is named *[NZRIN]* Nazrin, after the first boss in Undefined Fantastic Object. The Touhou series is enjoyed, and it matched her color scheme. Keep riding man, stay safe as always.

Man your videos are awesome. Really enjoyed this one. Would love to see an m109r v V-Rod video in future.

Nice. Breakdown and edit as always. Live how This is a nice lesson in finance as well. Get it Bran!!!

Im considering purchasing a VRod Muscle. Great insights, great presentation, outstanding video. Thank you!

I just paid 2k in flights And shipping for my 2013 night rod, air suspention, LED engine lights, 10k couldn't pass it up 7k miles. was worth the journey across the country. cant wait for to show up. hope your Ride treats you right.

As a fellow vrodder and motovlogger I’m glad to see more of them out there. I just picked up my 2012 Anniversary back in Marchish and I’ve put about 60% more miles on it than on my Dyna. I lot of people don’t understand this bike. You have to ride and experience this bike to truly appreciate it. Well done video man!

What a great video! I love how you compare and use your own experience to come to a conclusion. I like you, never thought I would buy a HD, but here I am 20 bikes later and my VRod Muscle (in the matte black) is my most favorite bike ever and I will keep it until I'm ashes. I still have other bikes but those will come and go but my VRod will remain. I am connected to it. Keep up the great videos :)

Well done as always Brandon. You’ve done your research and have the facts. Another great vid!!

I love the VROD. I even love it's little brother, the Street Rod 750. Only thing keeping me from getting one, besides already having a "muscle cruiser", is it's hard to find mid control vrods in my area and I've sat on enough of the forward controls to know that they are just too far out for me. I think the VROD was Harley's best chance to step outside of the "heritage" market. It's a shame they discontinued them. But, I do love that most Harley riders hated them so much that their resale value is within my budget. My riding buddy rides a muscle and it is a great bike. We have a blast opening them up side by side on the long straights.

Very interesting video that sums up my perspective on the V-Rod as the Harley anomaly. I've never ridden one and find myself chronically curious about it. I fulfilled a 34 year old dream by recently buying an 87 Honda vf700c, the "Super Magna" which I'm very happy with. Still, I've been looking at the Scout, Speedmaster, and 1300 Sabre as smooth cruisers all the while nagged by that V-Rod itch. I think the mid-position pegs and pull back bars might be a must for my old back. Thanks for the itch-intensifying video!

It’s a cool looking bike for sure,I’ve had everything but a HD because growing up I was told they always leaked oil (I’m 50 and that’s still in my head) I’m on a 6 year run with Indian and probably buying a Challenger next. One day I’ll have to give HD a try Love the videos and congrats on 2 bikes

I’d like to say that I played a part in this HD purchase from a comment I posted on one of your videos a while ago. 🤣 #Congrats #SheisAbeauty

I own a 2012 VROD for almost the exact same reasons. My other HD is a trike so I own two HDs that are considered black sheep. My son-in-law owns a HD Breakout and he thought the VROD was lame until he rode it. Nice video.

I . this bike!! The Harley-Davidson culture has never appealed to me, but I DO like this HD cruiser. I bought a Trident Speedmaster instead, but would consider this HD in the future.

I think they'll go back up in value over the next few years.

you are absolutely right, when i saw the blacked out night rod vrod in 2008 , me and my bro ripped pictures out of magazines, as a goal to aspire to... we had no idea of HD culture, it was just a bad ass looking bike that looks like it was customized for us. ur point is 100 accurate, as we were not interested in any baggers. we were 235lb fast runningbacks in football... the muscle bikes seemed to match us physically lol

Nice bike

Well it has a Porche engine so it should be reasonably solid! Great find!

I had *almost* talked myself out of hunting for V-Rods. Almost. Then you produced this. I hit an HD demo day SEVERAL years ago (like 2015?) and the V-Rod was HANDS DOWN the best engine there. I am not (personally) a fan of the riding position on the Muscle - my neck was done after the 15 minute test loop. But then I sat on a Street Rod variant with the midset controls - Oooh man I *still* have the wantsies. Try not to push the value up on 'em too high until I can pick one up, please?

I actually learned some things. I don't follow HD and was unaware of the bike. It looks serious for sure. To me the fact that it doesn't sound like a typical Harley would be a positive as well. That rear tire looks MASSIVE. I figured you would have bought an Indian! But like another comment said - I came because I am interested in Indian, but I subscribed for you. You keep it real and tell a good story. Ride what you like, just keep telling good stories.

Who the hell said you cant have a Harley because of the way you looked!? That's messed up, like REALLY messed up! That absolutely infuriates me to hear you say that. I scored my V-Rod from a car dealership in Idaho that took it in on trade so, I knew they took the guy for a ride on trade-in. Threw a figure at them, they came back, I said no, called me the next morning, put 500 down on my credit card, drove 2 hours north and scored my 2014 for 7k with 3500 miles. It has the Harley V-Rod rigid leather saddle bags, windshield and analog HD clock. Sold the bags for a cool grand and the windshield for 300. Now, its back to its Muscle roots! Love my bike! Just dropped a time-lapse ride from my home to Bear Lake Utah and back. I will never sell my ride. I will just add to it. I really want the FXDR to add to my garage.

Tell that to Rocket 3 and XDiavel. But in this case, the rake makes handling weird but the rear tire is no issue other than it breaking away easy with minimal throttle.

I have only been on the cruiser side for 5 years but it is super toxic on the street bike side. Sometimes, you have to weed things out. I am thankful everyday I did, if I had listened to all the so called advice I would still be riding street bikes mostly. My dad had plenty of HD glides and loved them, so I don't know what they meant by HD not making a bike for you. Just enjoy your ride and be safe, leave the noise behind because that is all it is... noise!
