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
