[Hot Rod]

Hi guys/gals,

I'm a new member, and hopefully soon to be a new V-rod owner. I come from a family of Harley enthusiasts, my Pop currently has an Ultra and a Road King, bro has a Fat Boy and an anniversary V-rod, Mom rides a Blast. I was the black sheep - used to refuse to buy anything American. That all went out the window with the creation of the beloved V-rod. Once a skeptic, I'm now running for my check book. I've taken a few joy rides on my brothers' bike, and just returned from Kona, Hawaii where I spent 24hrs on a rental V-rod, the single best ride of my life. First thing I did when I got home is put my Ducati up for sale. Hope to find a clean, low mile V-rod to buy in the near future.

Good luck finding it, Hot Rod, and welcome to the forums! Where are you located? Somebody was telling me at my local dealership the other day that the dealership in Somerset, PA is selling new 03's for 14,500. Sounded like a very good deal to me!

Pretty fun bike to ride, isn't it?

Welcome to the fold...

Hi Frank, Val. Thanks for the replies. I'm located in Portland, OR. I'd certainly buy a one way plane ticket to PA for that steal on a new V-rod! Fun doesn't really describe the V-rod experience. I expected the acceleration - it's no secret that the rod is fast. I didn't expect the cornering capability, someone forgot to tell the rod that he's 600lbs! Doesn't quite slice like my soon to be ex Ducati Monster, but still corners very well for a bike that I can ride comfortably all day. More room for my girlfriend, and more room for saddle bags, too. If I could afford a garage full of bikes, I'd have several different brands and types. I can't, so the V-rod is the closest thing to the ideal bike for me. It does everything well.
