The Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle V-Rod is one of the most hated Harley-Davidsons ever, but it's awesome! With the Porsche designed motor and the fat rear tire this bike screams! This bike will definitely be a collectable later down the road!

#MostHated #HarleyVROD #srkcycles - Auta a dopravní prostředky
The VROD will eventually be like the FXR. Hated in it's time, loved and sought after years later.
Thats the thing about every harly rider ive ever heard. My generation hats the road kinfs and glydes but in time after feeling cool over trumps looking cool , thats when the bigger bikes look bad ass
In Australia they sold for 28k ride away. Now the cheapest you’ll find is 35-40k
@@Fuaarrkk In the US they are a dime a dozen. I've seen them from $4K to $10K USD.
@@dickjohnson7845 They were a hit in Australia, and later models are advertised at a premium. It was the Americans who didn't buy them and looks like used, they aren't popular even at low prices.
you are right, harley's image is its worst enemy
Harley as a brand only does well when sentiment of calling yourself an American does well.
The United states has become a re-tard-ed shadow of itself and the image of american big brands went down with it
The most hated Harley is the most loved by people who don’t ride harley’s, Great bike.
Agree, they don't like change which ultimately will kill harley it self.
@@MrJudegwapo might want to see 2020 plus line up for that livewire in 5 to 10 years most can afford that is bottom line
Loved my 04 reliable orange V-Rod bought new in 2008! I had it for 2 years put 18,000 miles on it, absolutely no issues.
I also loved my 2010 Fat Bob bought new in 2010. It was an amazing motorcycle for about a month or two, then the issue started. It was in the shop multiple times. I had the Fat Bob for 5 years and when I sold it, it only had 5,400 miles on it! The bike just couldn’t be trusted to ride anywhere, very disappointing. I Iove to ride HD, but the reliability in my experience is just spotty except for the V-Rod.
Not true. ALOT of harley people like that bike. Myself included lol.
@@MrJudegwapo change won't kill harley. Just give harley riders more options and bring more people in. Most i know feel harley needs more different model types. I full on harley sport bike would be cool lol.
Awesome review, I love VRods. I'd like to pick up a Night Rod one day.
A common misconception that was reiterated in this video is that Porsche designed the engine. The engine is based on the HD VR1000 race engine, Porsche was brought in to jointly work with HD to make the engine more streetable. It was not a new design, but rather a refinement of an existing HD engine. Porsche has a history of making high performance, liquid-cooled street engines, so HD tapped into that expertise. Also they had previously worked together in the late 70's/ early 80's on the project Nova motorcycles.
The only speculation I would have as to why HD would let you order a VRod after production ended, would be because they had a surplus of parts remaining. That would allow them to reduce VRod parts inventory after the production line shut down.
Vrod best engine HD ever sold. My 2013 Nightrod is tight as a drum. I ride it like a hooligan.
I bought a 2007 Nightrod Special. I not a big fan of “look at me” rides. If I’d only known. I used to have people follow me to find out what kind of bike it was. I’d go to a store and come out to find 3 or 4 guys standing there looking at the bike. That bike attracted way more attention that I expected. Only bike I ever owned with forward pegs. Not fun when you get up to triple digits. But, I loved riding that bike.
Harley was on the right track. I loved to see this in cruiser. A motorcycle for around town and trips with out the massive weight. Did not need much windscreen, bull horns and soft saddlebag all detachable.
I've had a scratch built Turbocharged vrod for 11 years now. All homebuilt setup. T3 turbo. ZERO issues in 10 years. And it gets the shit beat out of it.
I was never a fan of Harleys....but walked into a dealership in 2014 and it was love at first site...still love it 6 years later...2014 Vrod Muscle in white/grey denim. Still get asked mostly by guys " Isn't that too much bike for you?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Nope!!!!
I’ve owned bikes from different manufacturers through the years. My 2006 VROD (night rod) has been my favorite.
I remember when the V-Rod first came out. I thought it was the coolest H-D I'd ever seen. I was shocked to find out H-D fans hated the V-Rod.
you'll be even more shocked to find out all the H-D people who " hate " the vrod are over the age of 55
Dude I dont think that's the most hated.....many many people love it...including me ❤️
corvo attano I agree, I think it’s a nice looking bike!
I think the most hated is the street 500
What’s a cvo
I hate the sportster way more!
Fee CVO is Harley’s special edition shop. It stands for custom vehicle operations. They are limited production bikes.
I love Harleys, and i love the Vrod. It's great seeing company's stepping outside the comfort zone!
That style of bike may sell now. Discontinuing that bike may prove to be a mistake.
After growing up around HD's all my life, I believe the oil leak was due to lack of maintenance for one, but also the fact that they were air cooled, and some would over heat their bikes and destroy the gaskets or even warp some of the components.
I have a 06 vrod (owned it since new) and just had a conversation today with someone that it has never leaked oil and you brought that up in your vid.
The V-ROD has the best motor HD has ever made!
I really love the vrod so yeah. Had a 15 vrod muscle and recently had 2 get rid of it due to life priorities but i loved my muscle it was a fun and comfy bike imo
I had an 883 then a 1200 and then an 08 VROD. The VROD was the best all around cruiser bike I have ever had. Almost as quick as the Z1000 I had. Great all around bike. It drove like a normal Harley to 5500rpm and then she screamed to 9000 building power all the way to the top.
I love re-watching this video in the winter because the exhaust is similar to my vrod vrscr. You mentioned them not leaking oil, mine blew oil out of the rear head on the left side but mine also has a dynojet tuner and has to run 91 plus octane boost so I'm not surprised it blew oil.
Love my 2016 black on black nightrod special even has a fairing with a badass stereo on it.
I have never seen a Harley that I would buy, until now. That is an awesome looking bike!
I'm definitely into the Vrod, it's a different type of Harley but that's why it's so cool IMO!
I have full gauge cluster on mine with rpm, fuel and Speedo etc love it
Mine was leaking at the stator cable seal. A common issue on the pre 2012 models. And very simple to fix
My 1988 Harley with the Evolution motor does not "leak" oil but it does have a crankcase breather hose that "vents" behind the bottom of the engine. Some oil maybe vented along with the pressure. My 1973 Shovelhead did not "leak" oil but it had, in addition to the crankcase vent also had automatic chain oilers for both the primary and final drive chains. The Shovelhead primary case had an overflow hole for "discharging" excess oil. And the final drive automatic chain oilers would continue to drop awhile after being parked. But none of that is "leaking.". Leaking infers a defect. These are intentional.
The pressure bleeder hose from ohc to ohc leaks on most VRODs because they made it out of cheap rubber. It's a $20 part so NBD. Great video!
Got a 2006 v rod not only a great bike to ride but still looks like a bike from the future.! out of all the bikes I've owned and I've owned rather a lot, still gets more attention when parked than any other.
I'll trade you an Army OD Green Duffel Bag and a tough box thats missing a wheel for it!
Both have traveled with me on three separate deployments.
...Worth a Shot lol...
Is this going to be for sale?
Thank You👍🏻👍🏻
Very awesome videos all the time, I enjoy them and learn so much from them! Can you answer a question that I can’t seem to find a direct answer to from researching across the internet and CZcams
¿In what year night rod special did they start to come standard with all features of a 2017 and which year would be best to get with all standard features?
I worked at Harley as intern in college when they where making those bikes. I remember them building that bike and the drag bike on the line. I also rode one. Very very fast bike.
Brakes stick every now and then and the throttle sometimes sticks at %100.
Yea that sounds exciting.
Just needs to be serviced, very easy fix.
Stick both at the same time...
Automatic sick burnout mode bro!
I saw another vrod with the same problem the throttle sticks what’s up with that
It's nice to see a different test ride route.
301k subscribers! Way to go Sean!
Definitely a vrod fan. I'll take mine in the "night" flavor please.
I’ve seen a few vrods in my area. They are always in people’s yards with for sale signs on them.
I just bought 2003 anniversary edition silver/chrome and love it. The previous owner didn’t take care of it so I got it for 3500 out of possible 5500 and even has tab two into one exhaust and stage 3 fuel mapper and knn filter!
Live2RIDE83 Former VROD owner here. You’re gonna love it, but keep up on the annual maintenance. Stuff such as valve lash adjustment and steering head bearings can bite you in the ass (like it did to me) if you put them off for too long. A great resource is 1130cc.com. The VROD community is decent and they’ll get you squared away if you have any questions. Rubber side down!
Looking to get a bike (as soon as I have the money) and even though I'm up in NH, I would love to try to get a bike from you guys, but you don't seem to have much for options on your site.
Hey Sean, why is this bike rated as an advanced bike, but the vrod with the 300mm wide rear tire that you had was rated closer to beginner? Is it the power of this one?
"Windshields are dumb." It's been the nth time I heard that from you and it still never gets old lol
Personally, I like having a removable one. My last three bikes didn’t have windshields but my current Softail does. If the weather is nice, I’ll take it off. If there are tons of bugs and/or I have to ride at night, back on it goes.
I don't understand people who buy bikes and try to turn them into cars; fairings, radios, speakers, etc. If I want that crap I'll drive my car.
Love the look of a vrod I’m a new rider just got my first bike it’s the hyusong vrod rip off the gv650 , would love to see a video on the gv650
Lord willing one day soon I'll have bike again great video much love from Minnesota God bless 🙏
Loved the V Rod. I still want a CVO V Rod.
That orange looks great imo
Hey 👋, is it possible to import the honda cb150r into the usa from over seas. If so how can i actually do it step by step?
That one was my dream!!!! I bought the 08 night rod special and I'm happy with it
Wait you said windshields are dumb anyway? Why? I have them on mine V-Rod and they look nice and perform great.
also, are those speakers on the handlebars????? were they factory?????
Can u make a video about what’s decent in miles on bike for the year or help please.
Just awesome, many thanks for your review... I nearly let one go until I saw this review. I'm now a proud owner of the 2005 cvo screamin eagle v rod... Absolutely in love with it. Many thanks again
For like a decade I asked the dealers when the Vrod motor would be put into a proper touring frame. To this day I can't see why HD never did that, seems like such an obvious choice?
It's no wonder HD is dying. They kept catering to an aging crowd's idea of what a harley is, a group that wouldn't buy a new bike anyway.
Seems like a lot of Harley owners think that anything that isn’t an air cooled pushrod engine is a hunk of junk. The Vrod motor, obviously not fitting the description, seemed to get hate from the hardcore HD fans.
Nice review as usual.
Right on spot. It's going to become a colectors item.
Keep up the good work
👍👏👏👏🏍💨💨
Is this for sale/trade??! I owned a regular VROD and loved the hell out of it. Would love to trade my CBR and get exactly this?
I actually really like the Vrod.
I agree. Loved the "Look", very modern design.
My absolutely hands down favorite bike
I'm so happy I bought one of these in 2016
Does oil run through the cage on v rod I seen guy he said his did unless he was messing with me ?
no
Come on ‘Dancer’ bust a few moves in those Moc Toe boots 😂
Is it Okey for long trip around 400 kilometers per day plz
Ever notice when ever you see a bicycle on the road they are at a blind corner and a car is coming the other way at that exact moment?
Never fails.
I love the bike!! It looks really nice in person!!
i have one . added pingle kill switch, pingle steering stabilizer, and pingle electric shifter. VROD destroyer throttle body, vance & hines exhaust and screaming eagle tuner. dyno tuned 126 RWH and it runs 11.5 sec in the 1/4 mile . only complaint is 30 mph highway with a 3.5 gallon tank means a fill up every 90 miles.
I'm not a Harley guy myself but V-Rod, Livewire and XR 1200 are legit cool bikes that I'd like to own someday.
Sweet, i worked on those. I worked at a place called calibre in grafton wi. We worked on almost all of the cvo harleys. I worked in detail putting those decals on. The cvo bike were pretty cool.
Kinda like my Buell, a red headed step child but such a fun bike. Like you said, in 20 years good luck eying to find one. Fun fact; that engine was originally designed for the Buell but it was too big and bulky for the frame or design at the time. The V Rod was never my flavor but it looks like it would be a lot of fun. Nice bike Sean
One of my riding buddies has a 2010 Vrod. Very cool bike but he’s had some weird mechanical issues considering the care it gets and low mileage. Harley Davidson in their wisdom has seemingly abandoned it for parts support and availability. It took 6 months to get a water pump...
I have one. Its awesome, and its true. They never leak oil.
What is HD's main issue ..reliability.
What's the price on this one
Everybody says Harley guys hate VRODS,I have an 02 and I've never met a HD guy that didn't like my bike ,I think this is one of those urban legends
I had a 2005 Vrod. Great bike. Miss it.
I had a 2005 nightrod. Awesome bike. There will be another vrod in my garage
Nice bike. I will buy a bike from you in the future just because I like what you stand for.
How much
I enjoyed my V-Rod, but it had so many mechanical issues that I got about 3 weeks of use out of it in the first Year. It spent most of that season in the shop, so despite it being great fun, it had to go.
Man the V-Rod is probably my favorite Harley of all time. I love that people hated them bc you can snag one up relatively cheap.
I have a 2006 Vrscr and I love it.
I’ve always liked them but for me, 6’3”, I went for the Ultra. With that said you should have no problem selling it after you fix the issues with it.
Hey folks! I am in the process of buying my first Harley (first bike ever). I am 6.2 ft. What model do you think would fit my length best?
There are only two Harley's that I love! A Fatboy and the AWSOME VROD!!! That Porsche engine, Harley engineerings, c'mon two great forces joining to make one AWSOME bike!!
can you show your full stock of bikes we would like to see them all please
Vrod is missing its top air cleaner box cover
I got a 2006 heritage soft tail classic black with 5,000 miles I’m trying to get rid of
Very popular in australia people do alout of custom work on them there prices have any rocketed over here
Power and fun in a relatively lighter package. If the Night Rod/V Rod models were maintained or resurrected in the present by Harley maybe they still have their necks above water.
A friend of mine had one, he said it only got 20 mpg
Is this the same one that raced the cr500 Harley? With that slipping clutch😂
Очень красивые места, и чистота поражает.
Very beautiful places, and the cleanliness is amazing.
No 0-60? I have the VRSCR (I’m not that talented) and can get it around 4sec.
Which is fastest vrod cvo or victory octane ? You rode them both ?
Not even close, CVO has 20 more horse and 10 more ftlbs.
The Octane maybe up to 50-60 pounds lighter but that won’t cover the 20hp deficit 👍
It doesn't leak oil? Check there's some in...
Los Angeles Harley Davidson in Fullerton CA makes the buying process of a new Harley easy and is probably one of the last dealers in CA to be transparent with pricing! Check em out, loved them !
The teal cvo looks awesome too.
As I saw someone else say . I don’t know why Harley didn’t use this V-Rod engine in other Harley Models ?
Shan is the type of guy that see's bikes as he see's people he loves them all.
The vrod throttle sticking is due to the "cruise control" I own a vrod and it does the same thing, just unscrew the cruise control
That was a beautiful day. Pennsylvania, right? Beautiful place.
I had to rewind that. You told your dad you were quitting college to become a dancer? 😂😂😂
Saw a screaming eagle in cali it was so nice we gunned it off the red light it was so loud
So sweet but to heavy fora new be or would u say it's cool to start ridding on one
