Harley-Davidson V-Rod Street Rod VRSCR 2006

Harley-Davidson V-Rod Street Rod VRSCR 2006

The Harley-Davidson V-Rod Street Rod may be a very special Harley-Davidson, far removed from typical Harley features and straddling the cruiser and sports motorbike worlds, which ultimately explains its low popularity. But even if it is neither fish nor fowl, the Street Rod has a lot to offer. Solid suspension, willing turning behaviour, good brakes, a great-sounding engine and a high maximum lean angle. Anyone who wants to whizz through tight bends without missing out on a certain American flair and V2 charm should take a closer look at the Street Rod. The combination of a sporty chassis, active riding position and powerful V2 certainly has the potential to make the right type of rider happy.

Grandiose V2 engine sound

Ok suspension with sufficient stability even at higher lean angles

Active riding position

Lots of maximum lean angle for a Harley (up to 40°)

Good turning behaviour

Well controllable brakes with sufficient deceleration power, provided the rear brake is also used

Very stiff clutch

Lengthy gear ratio robs the engine of its sporty potential

Numerous chrome components make the Street Rod high-maintenance

The Rocket 3 R can certainly be considered the sporting cannon among the two Rocket 3 models: Cannon, because the engine with its incredible 2.5 litre (!) capacity pushes as expected, like a cannonball, and sport, because this huge machine is surprisingly easy and precise to control, despite a ready-to-ride weight of over 300 kilos. The seating position is successfully active, the brakes stable and the electronics with cornering ABS, traction control, four riding modes, cruise control and colour TFT cockpit complete and up to date. Added to this is the thoroughly attractive and high-quality appearance, which makes it a real pleasure to present the motorbike with the world's largest standard engine and torque in front of the ice cream parlour.
