Overview

Introducing the 2010 Harley-Davidson VRSCF V-Rod Muscle, a striking custom-cruiser that embodies the spirit of American motorcycling with a contemporary twist. Positioned as a bold and muscular entry in Harley's renowned V-Rod lineup, the V-Rod Muscle captures attention with its aggressive stance, unique design, and powerful performance. With a starting price of $17,199, it’s a compelling option for riders seeking a blend of classic Harley heritage and modern engineering. At the heart of the V-Rod Muscle lies a robust 1250cc V2 engine that churns out an impressive torque of 115 Nm at 6,500 RPM. This liquid-cooled, four-stroke powerhouse not only delivers exhilarating acceleration but also offers a thrilling riding experience with its 5-speed gearbox and smooth belt final drive. The engine's high compression ratio of 11.5:1, paired with electronic sequential port fuel injection, ensures optimum performance across various riding conditions. Rider dynamics are further enhanced by a sophisticated chassis featuring a black steel perimeter frame and 43mm inverted front forks, providing precise handling and stability while navigating both city streets and open highways. The V-Rod Muscle is packed with features that elevate the riding experience to new heights. Aesthetically, the motorcycle boasts a striking chopped rear fender and a wide 240mm rear tire, which not only enhances its aggressive look but also provides solid grip on the road. The satin chrome headlamp mount and internally wired handlebars add to the bike's sleek design, while the advanced Brembo® braking system with dual front rotors ensures responsive stopping power. Additionally, the model is equipped with a slipper clutch and ABS as standard, enhancing safety and control during aggressive rides. Riders will appreciate the comfort of the two-piece, two-up textured vinyl seat, which accommodates both solo and passenger journeys with ease. **

Pros

  • Powerful Performance: The 1250cc engine delivers strong torque and acceleration, making it a thrilling ride for enthusiasts.
  • Stylish Design: With its muscular bodywork, chopped rear fender, and sleek lines, the V-Rod Muscle is a head-turner on the road.
  • Advanced Features: Equipped with modern technology like ABS, Brembo brakes, and a slipper clutch, it offers both safety and performance.

Cons

  • Weighty Build: At 292 kg (643.7 lbs), the V-Rod Muscle may feel heavy for some riders, particularly in low-speed maneuvers.
  • Limited Passenger Comfort: While it does accommodate a passenger, the two-up seat may not provide the same level of comfort for long journeys as dedicated touring bikes.
  • Fuel Capacity: With an 18.90-litre (4.99 gallons) fuel tank, range might be a concern for long-distance riders compared to other cruisers in the market.
