With 4 cylinders I would hope so. Sorry, I missed where the V-Rod was mentioned eaerlier in this thread....in fact I still can't find it....
Here is an interesting read on "sort-of" related bikes:
http://motorcyclecruiser.com/roadtests/supercruisers/
The V-Rod is comparable in size, weight, power, engine RPMs, name, and even looks to the V-Max and yet it's constantly compared to the big inch cruisers simply because it's a v-twin. If that's the case, shouldn't it also be compared to the v-twin sport bikes? I guess it's only going to be compared to whatever makes it look the best.

Harley will get a fair shake from me when they bring something to the big inch power cruiser table.

He still has the magazine....December '05 issue of Cycle World.

http://www.zinio.com/issue?is=109965842&ns=zno

You can download it for $3.99, otherwise you'll have to wait 'til I actually see him again.

I'm cheap, so I guess I'll wait 'til you see your bro-in-law again.
