This is the brand new 2016 Harley Davidson V-Rod Muscle. I perform an indepth walk around, and explain the key features and the riding experience, and rev the engine to hear what it sounds like. I film this in the Industrial location of South San Francisco.

[@MrHumberto1952]

What's the backgrounds music ! I can't here the reviews ...

[@1bojanbojan]

so what would u say comparing it to street glide?

[@SanFranciscoRiderr]

+1bojanbojan i like the Street Glide better, more fun to ride, easier to ride, and more truer to the Harley core than this one, just my opinion

[@jjdelgadojr5700]

what song is it you play in the background?

[@SanFranciscoRiderr]

hey sailor 👍

[@Bradington]

[@SanFranciscoRiderr]

[@5664788]

[@SanFranciscoRiderr]

+5664788 thanks, i work in a totally different field in Silicon Valley

[@dickydamageable]

actually glad everyone hates on these bikes. i hate seeing dudes with my bike...ha

[@SanFranciscoRiderr]

+derek lindberg it takes a man to ride this bike, its unique

[@WaldoWizard]

yeah people hate them because they will out perform almost every cruiser out there including their own .. only two CRUISER bikes are faster from 0 -60 mph ... the vmax and the honda valkyrie , which by the way have massively more horsepower ... now the ducati duval devil will also be faster but i dont even consider it a cruiser ... MY vrod rocks ..i have the 2016 and put vance/hines exhaust on it along with windsheild , sound system and more ... Eat you heart out boys , because that's what you truly are --- BOYS , takes a real man to ride the ROD ... and yup , i agree , it's not even close to your typical HARLEY .... SO WHAT , who cares .... and have a nice day ... when i blow past you at 120 mph , and yes , i have done this speed already with ease , then you can eat my dust

[@frednouvertne4216]

@@WaldoWizard Agreed. After 40 yrs XL riding, bought a 2016 Night Rod. No throwback technology or nostalgia trip for me. The VR would have made an excellent sport touring model too.

[@areyouready22]

I have been wanting a V rod muscle lately but the more I research the bike the less I want it. There's just too many negatives about it.

[@SanFranciscoRiderr]

+areyouready22 yep i think you can do better for your hard earned money

[@areyouready22]

+SanFrancisco Riderr Yes, thanks.... What do you think of the Ducati Diavel?

[@draganm7823]

Dont base your decision on other peoples opinions as opinions vary and some can be biased. Take the bikes for a ride and YOU be the judge. The v rods are more technically advanced than other cruisers on the market, the liquid cooled engine is very reliable.the NightRod handles better than the Muscle, so take both for a ride and ride the competion as well so you can make an informed decision based your preferences. I have a saying, "ride what you like and like what you ride". Ride safe.

[@areyouready22]

+Dragan M Thanks for the advice. I did test drive one and although it was very exhilarating and fun to ride, the negatives outweighed the positives by far. At 53 years old I found the riding position incredibly uncomfortable and would not last in that position for more than an hour or so before having to stop. I last longer riding my Honda CBR1000RR. The pegs on the Muscle were also too low and I would imagine they scrape the road on tight turns. Access to the fuel tank is not good. The handling is great but only if you are going in a straight line. The exhaust system sticks out and can easily burn your legs. Also, this may be a bit petty but the license plate location is just down right ugly and annoying. I also went and test drove a Ducati Diavel and that thing drove and rode like a dream. What a machine!

[@draganm7823]

I found similar experience on the Muscle as you did. I preferred the Night Rod Specials riding position and the handling was also much better. If you prefer the Ducati,then thats what you should get. Enjoy and ride safe.

[@BradPitbull]

GOOD JOB MY NIGGA

[@dquillen1]

I never have liked the looks of the V-Rod, I can't believe they are still making these...

[@dquillen1]

Yeah, I'm not sure who rides them, I rarely ever see one on the road...

[@yeahitsalex6821]

Only real man ride these unique beasts.

[@jeffhdpd782]
