I have an itch for big, brutish power. Seriously looking at a Night Rod, but found a Suzuki M109r for half the price. Don't like the Rocket III though. Are there any other manufacturers that make a similar genre bike?
Love my vrod . The best engine out there .
At least it was a really great engine until HD got a hold of it and added 70 (!!!) pounds of dead weight metal so it "looked" right in the V-Rod.
Eeesh. Was originally an engine for a Buell race bike, consigned from Porsche. Once HD added the 70 pounds, Buell just dropped it, as it was no longer a viable race motor due to the excessive weight.
Cool story Bro! Did you read this in Grimm's Fairy Tales or Alice in Wonderland?At least it was a really great engine until HD got a hold of it and added 70 (!!!) pounds of dead weight metal so it "looked" right in the V-Rod.

I've got a Rocket III and nothing compares. I also had an M109R for 5 years before I got the rocket. Much higher quality machine. Great balance. Has more power than you ever need, especially with hauling a passenger, its effortless.
