2003 Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-Rod review from United States of America
"Classy cool ride"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Fuel pump tank plate went out at 600 miles.
General comments?
So many mods I cannot list. But put it this way, my dealer always smiled when I came in!!
Fast enough, but handles & brakes like a old Buick next to my Buell XB12Scg.
A well tuned V-Max will out accelerate it even with my mods, pipes and my Power Commander. I know, I've owned six Max's.
The frame is a wonder compared to the ol' Max and you will never duplicate the sound of the V-4 with Super Trapps, but the V-Rod is a great looking bike (my 03 all aluminum) and a nice enough ride that I have kept it around for six years now!
