Overview

Introducing the 2011 Harley-Davidson VRSCF V-Rod Muscle, a striking example of American engineering that encapsulates the spirit of freedom and rebellion synonymous with the Harley-Davidson brand. Positioned within the custom-cruiser category, the V-Rod Muscle is not just a motorcycle; it's a statement. With a price tag of approximately USD 14,999, it appeals to riders who crave a blend of bold styling, robust performance, and cutting-edge technology. This model is particularly notable for its muscular design, which is characterized by an aggressive stance and an unmistakable presence on the road, making it a favorite among motorcycle enthusiasts seeking both aesthetics and power. At the heart of the VRSCF V-Rod Muscle lies a formidable 1250cc V2 engine, delivering a thrilling 117 Nm of torque at 6500 RPM. This four-stroke powerhouse is engineered for performance, boasting a compression ratio of 11.5:1 and a sophisticated electronic sequential port fuel injection system that ensures a smooth and responsive throttle. Riders will appreciate the effortless acceleration and exhilarating ride that this motorcycle offers, thanks to its 5-speed gearbox and well-optimized clutch system. The liquid cooling keeps the engine running efficiently, whether you’re cruising through city streets or carving through winding backroads, while the sporty 43 mm inverted front suspension and preload adjustable rear suspension provide a confident and comfortable ride. The 2011 V-Rod Muscle is packed with features that enhance both style and functionality. Its steel perimeter frame, complemented by polished aluminum swingarm, not only contributes to its striking aesthetic but also ensures durability and stability. With double disc front brakes and a single disc rear brake—both equipped with a 4-piston setup—the stopping power is as fierce as the acceleration. Riders can opt for the available ABS for added safety, while the 18.90-liter fuel tank allows for extended rides without the constant worry of refueling. With color options ranging from Vivid Black to Chrome Yellow, the V-Rod Muscle can be tailored to reflect personal style. Plus, with a generous 24-month warranty offering unlimited mileage, riders can hit the road with confidence. **
