HARLEY-DAVIDSONV-Rod 2008 - 2009

　　In 2007, the American motorcycle manufacturer launched the Harley-Davidson VRSCW V-Rod, the successor to the VRSCA model. The bike was manufactured from 2007 to 2010 and was essentially identical to the VRSCA but with a new frame to make room for the 240 mm wide rear tire.

　　The 2007 VRSCW V-Rod was part of the VRSC family of cruiser machines that debuted in 1999 and continued production until 2017. The V-Rods were often called muscle bikes due to their powerful engine. In addition, the V-Rods were the first motorcycles manufactured by H-D with a liquid-cooled engine and overhead camshafts.

　　The V-Rods were equipped with an under-seat-mounted fuel tank rather than the usual location. In the specific place of the fuel tank, the maker mounted a cover over the air box and coolant filling port.

　　In 2008, the motorcycle maker released the Harley-Davidson V-Rod, a cruiser machine that came with several modifications, including the increased engine displacement from 1,130cc to 1,247cc with more power and torque, a slipper clutch, and an Anti-Lock Braking System.

　　The new 1,247cc liquid-cooled V-twin Revolution engine delivered an output power of 121 hp with a maximum peak at 8,000 rpm and 114 Nm (84 lb-ft) torque at 7,250 rpm.

　　As for appearance, the 2008 motorcycle featured a slim front fender, a low seat, a pulled-back handlebar, a two-into-two chromed exhaust system, and a wire-spoke wheel on the front with a slotted disk wheel on the rear.
