OT: Harley experience?

Anyone have any experience with the new Harley watercooled Vrod?

I am VERY close to getting one of these bad boys:

I am working on getting a bike myself. I know the owner of Titan really well. One of my dads best friends so I should get a great deal. I love the V-Rod, But I want to go for that Chopper Stretch look. Here's a pic of what I am going for. Comes with a massively wide 205 rear tire.


What do you think?

The front rake is pretty aggressive, love that chopper. I saw some custom bikes at http://www.paulyaffeoriginals.com/, INSANE.

Here's a shot of the Titan my Dad just bought.



It's going to be featured in the upcoming Hot Bike Magazine.

Can't say they are the smartest people on earth, but they sure as hell can build a bike, very entertaining...

This is very interesting. We have all these guys here that are such sticklers for performance. They are concerned with the performance difference that 2 pounds may have when buying wheels for their cars, they talk of 0.2 seconds differences between quarter mile times and eecking out that last horsepower and what bikes do they choose? Harleys.
Go figure.

I do not have anything against Harleys and I have ridden them. I can't seem to figure you guys out though! Being the performance oriented bunch that you are, wouldn't you want to obtain the ultimate cornering machine? The master of the curves, the torque king, the winner of so many World Superbike Championships that it is illogical to think of a different winner. The venerable Ducati 998:







And of course, the new 999:

you have to remember, most people wouldn't ever ever be able to experience the limits or even close to them on a bike like that!

Ken,
Nice bike looks just like mine did (you have 2 cc's on me tho ).
I got this bike 1 week b4 I got my permit, my dad bought it for me, for my first "car". This was when I lived in a small suburban/rural town outside Albany, NY so it wasn't that dangerous. Unfortunatly 2 weeks after I got it, we decided to move down the FL and my dad and I agree the bike had to go (People can't drive for sheet down here!!). I only rode it once, very loud and nice!!
Here are a few pics(thats my dads "old" 01 Turbo in the backround):


Heres a pic of me guys, I am sure some of you are wondering what I look like (j/k), keep in mind this is almost 2 years ago, I have changed a bit .

Regards,
Evan
