Haha this is how I want to ride this bike... !

I travel that road a lot...that was my first run with the camera and I was taking it easy....I'll post new videos when riding weather comes around

Great to see a Vrod demo by someone who is not afraid to fully ride the machine. All the other riders I saw rode the Vrod like wussies. Was sad to watch.

Damn I love that sound and the pops make it even better

This was awesome! No one believes me when I tell them how bad ass a vrod is. Great video, it should be shown at dealerships to potential buyers lol

I need Vrod after seeing this demo....super!

Badass roads and badass sound.

Awesome vrod sounds like it was tuned by AMG!

Its personal taste but I think the Vrod Muscle is the sexist production bike on the planet, it looks like a hot rod on two wheels, and handles great. Ive owned 22 street bikes over the years and this is my favorite. Budman risers for comfort, pipes, and dyno tune it for 130RWHP and you'll get the best smileage money can buy.

Ride it like ya stole it! love it!!!

Nice riding man the Vrod is one of my all time favorite bikes.

I am very aware of its ragged edge limits...I was just on a Sunday fun cruise in this video.....I have many times pushed it much harder

the bike sounds great!!!H-D NO.1.

Nice riding, I have the same bike and never got that low on the corners. You know those roads well.

Bike sounds awesome. Becauze of this video i think Im going from a metric to this. Thank you. I love the sound. I always rode a sport bike because I loved how it handled. But this. C"mon

I'm not into harley but this motor and sound is impressive-I think it sounds like a Ducati.

I needed this today. just the sound is helping my office day go by better. I have a 04 vrod, but there is snow.....

I thought so, been through there a lot. Good riding.

Fucking beautiful. The spot right after the RR tracks gave me a shot of adrenaline. Fantastic stuff. AMERICA, BABY!

It corners a lot better than I have heard. You are obviously an aggressive rider (me too at times), so I can relate to this vid much better than many of the others with a V-Rod. Thanks for posting.

I love v eod they sound and look like a sports bke

Only if Erick Buell had a chance to put this engine in his sportbike what could have been

love ..only love.. my 2011

Can someone explain to me why people hate these? To me, they're fucking NASTY. And every video I watch on them, I like them even more

Muy hermosa moto

Vrods are a straight line bike

Massive dude you ride hard. I'd gladly ride with you anyday haha

Cool man....

The Vrod is a great looking bike and your actually cornering and giving it a run. I wondered about how well they do corner with the big rear wheel and clearance issues. I went with Freedom pipes for clearance on the right. Your video shows people that the Vrod is no slouch in the corneres

Josh Dolin I got the bike. I didn't go with this bike but a KTM 1290 Superduke. I haven't invested in riding gear yet but I plan on it. I'm not riding much in the meantime. I think it's really pathetic that a lot of the really good riding gear doesn't fit bigger riders... I have been shopping around and I'm having a hard time finding leather that will fit. I've got my helmet, gloves and boots and already have nearly $1200 invested.

Isn`t there supposed to be a break in period? I heard a lot of back firing!

As far as scraping the ground the V&H 2 into 1 pipes drag very bad especially when carrying a passenger ...I have recently taken them off and went back to stock pipes with V&H slip ons..... Now I can lean it all the way to the pegs...I would not recommend the 2 into 1 if you like to dive deep into corners

Watching the video again I saw that you were aware but just thought I’d mention...✌🏾 Roll that throttle but be ready for the Beast in that V-Rod my friend!..🏍💨 Looking forward to the next run! Learning a trick or two from ya!..👍🏾

If you're at least stage 1mods and have no decell popping, you're running too rich. Fun looking run, he rides like our crew, only STAYING IN YOUR FRIGGIN' LANE just adds to the challenge, not takes it away. Were I coming the other way, I'd seriously wanna give you a beatdown,, as some of the worst southeastern fatalities are from just that, and I prefer NOT to become a meat and metal sandwich on the cheese .grater. End Rant. Good lines, some scraping to clean off the chikkin strips, and good camera setup. Bike sounds great to me, even tho I'm on a torqued Heritage set up for performance cruising. Gotta try one of thoe things someday before they're all gone!

Oh yeah, the motto: "If the boards ain't sparkin', you're just parkin'!"

The Vrod handles great...almost too good for what it is..you can dive hard into corners and lay the power on hard coming out ... I've put 25000 miles on it and over all its a great bike..however it does lack in comfort and gearing for rides in the hundreds of miles long

I love my V-Rod Muscle but if you want top end speed this is not the bike to put thousands into. I think stock you can probably get 135-140mph tops. Buy a Ninja ZX14R and you'll get 186mph stock. If that's not good enough, then try an H2 or BMW.

My 2012 V-Rod Muscle has 30,000-miles on it. The gage has A and B mileage markers that you can set to zero when you start a trip or if you want to keep track of gas mileage. I think it was on the A marker in the video and means nothing to anyone but Josh. I followed the manual when I first got mine but I've heard others say just the opposite, that you should ride it like you stole it during the break-in period. Mine was going through oil like crazy the first 5,000 miles then not a drop. Too bad some asshole blindsided mine in June and I've been without it for 2-months. I just gave my dealer a check for $7,000.00 to repair it and I'll be out burning up the roads soon with the rest of you maniacs.

Ok I have to downvote this video. Multiple times do you cross over the double yellows, putting yourself at very high risk. I am a professiona, truck driver with over 640,000 miles under my belt andI can't condone this riding. We were trained to never touch the yellows, if we did, we would have to imagine killing the driver And yourself, just as an example. Take a minute and redo the ride, make it more of a challenge, stay in your lane and dont hit ANY of lines. Makes it a LOT harder.
