2003 Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-Rod review from United States of America

"One of Harley's best bikes of all time!"

What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?

One heat shrink hose clamp had to be replaced at the dealership during the bike's 1000 mile inspection. There was no loss of coolant and the dealership replaced the clamp because it showed some signs of weeping. There was no cost to me and I was not even aware of the problem, great dealership service department!

This bike has been taken on many road trips and in all kinds of weather without any problems at all! This has been the most reliable and trouble free motorcycle that I have owned, and I am looking forward to many more trouble free miles of fun!

General comments?

Fantastic, fun, reliable and safe motorcycle. Lots of power and performance in a well laid out frame. This bike handles well and has enough power to please just about anyone, combined with safe and predictable handling.

At higher speeds, this bike acts like it is glued to the road and it is quite easy to peg the speedometer without even trying! This engine loves the higher RPM's, and will put a smile on you face anytime you feel the need!
