More variety from Harley Davidson

[Ninja Geoff]

I personally like the V-Rod and its cousins the street and night rods. Sometimes I think im the only person that likes em.

I find it ironic that Harley goes and does something truly different for a change and they cant give em away. If I could afford it I would love a street rod, about the closest thing to a cruiser you would catch me on (a warrior, M109 or mean streak would be nice too).

I definately dont understand the harley thing. Could never get used to a bike that shakes like hell and sounds like the transmission is going to shed parts every time you shift (even if the bike is still reliable). Ill take the smooth idle and smooth shifting transmission of my honda (which has a v-twin that runs smoother than some multis I have seen)

Street-rods make me drool. I love the mid controls and the seating position on them.

the seating position on the street rod is pretty close to the seating position on my CX500, my CX is a tad more upright but will be about spot on to the rods position when I change the bars.

I dont see why people find the regular V-Rod to be so uncomfortable, I sat on one and it was not bad at all, the night rod was the only one that was uncomfortable, and that was because of the mid mount controls (needs forward controls, or a taller seat)

the thing i didn't like about the other two rods (and most other cruisers) was the foward controls. And on the rods, you do seem to reach a bit more towards the bars than most cruisers; i felt rather scrunched.

The regular V-Rod is not uncomfortable if you are shaped like a C-clamp The way the frame rails connect with you legs is not pleasant either. The Night Rod has a lot better riding position for me...
