If that is the case; this photo does not have the V-Rod radiator showing... so I am not sure where they hid it.

The V-Rod motor being used for tourers has been floating around for years, but it has not been incorporated yet. I, personally, would like to see it used someday, but so far it has not.

/sigh/ I guess I wasn't in the market for a new bike this year anyway. An ugly bike with a smaller displacement motor? Sorry, but I just can't see it selling well. I'd take a new Electra Glide over that any time.

You should read more about the V-Rod engine. You might be surprised at the power its smaller displacement provides. Besides, who says they couldn't redesign it to a larger size?

Ummm... didn't realize that about that bike; but it shows how you cannot make a determination of an engine's power by its displacement...

Exactly...there is so much more to it. That is why the 600cc crotch rockets can run circles around so many bigger bikes.

It was not my intention to insult anyone on here.
My intention was to vent my displeasure with the Victory corporation.
Again, I am Sorry if I insulted you.
So lovingly written Tim. You never kiss my ass that much! How come?

Because you and I have become such good friends we never insult each other, therefore, no need for ass kissing.
