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.

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. **
