HARLEY DAVIDSON V-Rod

[misterprofessionality]

Aren't the Street 500 and Street 750 those bikes? They certainly appear to be price competitive.

At first glance they seem that way but in terms of technology and performance are completely inferior to almost every other bike you can buy for that price. basically, they made bad bikes that were *almost* competitive and tried to say that was this was the available option for new riders. they're also 550lbs or more, which is not ideal for a great many of first time riders. Like a lot of Harley offers, it seems like they approached doing the right thing but somehow torpedoed it in the development stage.
