Better off not saying anything like that & thinking of the riders feelings.

No offense intended ... I bet it really draws a crowd, that.

I think you would probably need sunglasses to look at it in the sun 8)

I'd take a v-rod in any color, so they all look good to me!

I would certainly have to ride one before I would buy one. I saw a picture of someone riding one through a curve (somewhere) and from the looks of the fit (knees up by his head) I suspect I would never find it comefortable enough. Darn shame really as I think I would like to have one iffen I could afford it.

Okay I'm a little confused on pricing for the VROD models.

It looks like there is the

VRSC-A $17,695 (Black Paint)
VRSC-B $16,895 (Black Paint)

VRSC-R (Street Rod) $16,495
VRSC-E (Screaming Eagle variant) $25,495

Now I know they have always had the A and the B variants. The A has a silver frame and the B has the black frame. I know there are some other difference too but that is the biggest visual difference.

I thought the Street Rod was the Screaming Eagle version, but it looks like that's not the case.

Is it true that the Street Rod is less than the VROD? Maybe somone who is more in the know can help clear this up.
