Overview

### 2006 Harley-Davidson VRSCD Night Rod: A Custom-Cruiser Icon Step into the world of the 2006 Harley-Davidson VRSCD Night Rod, a motorcycle that masterfully blends the raw power of a custom cruiser with the sleek styling of a modern muscle machine. Positioned within Harley’s renowned V-Rod family, the Night Rod stands out with its aggressive stance and cutting-edge design, offering riders an exhilarating experience on both city streets and open highways. With a price tag starting at US$ 14,995, it attracts those who crave performance without compromising on style. At the heart of the Night Rod lies a potent 1130.78 ccm V2 engine, a marvel of engineering that delivers an impressive torque of 108.48 Nm at 7000 RPM. Featuring a high compression ratio of 11.3:1 and an Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system, this powerhouse ensures a thrilling ride, characterized by smooth acceleration and a satisfying growl from the polished, black Revolution® engine. The 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive contribute to a seamless power delivery while maintaining the classic Harley feel. With a fuel consumption rate of 5.60 liters per 100 km, riders can enjoy an admirable 42 mpg, making the Night Rod both a performance beast and a reasonable road companion. The Night Rod isn’t just about brute force; it’s packed with features that enhance the riding experience. Its aggressive geometry, with a 34-degree rake and a seat height of just 660 mm, provides confidence and comfort, especially for riders who appreciate a lower center of gravity. The Brembo® brakes, featuring double discs in the front and a single disc in the rear with a diameter of 292 mm, offer exceptional stopping power—essential for spirited riding. The vibrant color options, including Vivid Black and the striking Two-Tone Rich Sunglo Blue and Chopper Blue, further add to its visual appeal, allowing owners to express their unique style. **

Pros

  • Impressive Engine Performance: The V2 engine delivers high torque and smooth acceleration, making it a thrill to ride.
  • Eye-Catching Design: With its aggressive styling and polished engine, the Night Rod turns heads wherever you go.
  • Comfortable Riding Position: The low seat height and mid-mount controls provide a comfortable and confident riding experience.

Cons

  • Weight: At 275.3 kg (607.0 pounds), the Night Rod may feel heavy for some riders, especially at low speeds.
  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a 14-liter tank, longer rides may require more frequent fuel stops.
  • Custom-Cruiser Niche: Its unique styling may not appeal to traditional cruiser enthusiasts who prefer the classic Harley look.
