2009 Harley Davidson V-Rod Special

H-D Junkie — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 20:06:13 +0000

For 2009 Harley Davidson decided to spice up the V-Rod with a Special edition that incorporates a unique appearance that skews slightly from the rest of the VRSC Line.

The powerplant still consists of the 1250cc Revolution V-Twin engine. Liquid cooled, this high-revving engine pushes out 85 ft-lbs of torque at 7,000 rpm. The EFI motor is properly matched to the six-speed transmission and is designed to work just as well in semi-race environments as it does on open tour.

Visable differences include the stright-shot exhaust, color-matched alternative headlamp nacelle which features clear lens reflector optics, and the darkened slotted disc wheels. Available in just three color combinations and shown here in Black Denim/Vivid Black Racing Stripe.

America’s favorite cruising dragster hybrid is back for more in 2009. Harley Davidson engineers left the V-Rod pretty much unchanged from the previous edition with only minor tweaks to the platform.

The motorcycle is still powered by the only liquid-cooled engine Harley makes…the 1250cc Revolution V-Twin. This power plant is rubber-mounted and sports chrome covers. Built to operate at a higher range than it’s air-cooled brethren, it puts out 84 ft-lbs of torque at 7,000 rpm.

Exterior styling points include chrome slash-cut right-side exhaust, sport front fender and low profile rear fender, a two-piece, two up textured seat, forward mounted foot controls, stainless steel pull-back handlebars…and more. Available in 8 color choices and shown here in Flame Blue/Pewter Pearl.

2009 Harley Davidson V-Rod Muscle

H-D Junkie — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 21:19:04 +0000

New for 2009 is Harley Davidson’s V-Rod Muscle. While the name may imply a significant increase in power, handling, or performance, this lightly upgraded verson of the stock V-Rod is more an improvement in looks than anything else.

The motorcycle is powered by the same 1250-cc, Liquid-Cooled, Revlolution V-Twin engine that drives the standard version of this line but it does get an increase in torqe to 86 ft-lbs at just 6,500 rpm. (the traditional V-Rod gets a little less at 84 but needs to be cranked to 7,000 rpm to do it)

Noticeable exterior changes include the Straight-Shot side pipes, 5-spoke cast aluminum wheels, and a increased wheelbase. This Harley Davidson comes available in four color schemes with the bike pictured laid out in Brilliant Silver.
