My understanding is that engine and drivetrain in general is durable as heck. A friend bought one new a few years after the VRods came out. He didn't mind that it made its HP up in the rev range but most traditional Harley owners did. He was bothered that it only delivered around 35 mpg and it had troublesome fueling off idle and at lower rpm. A Power Commander remedied the lean fueling but MPG then dropped to high 20's to low 30's. He was short with bad knees that he couldn't keep bent for any length of time so the feet forward riding position worked for him. I never rode it but just sitting on the thing I could tell I wouldn't be comfortable at all like that.
Harley brought out a Street Rod version mostly for Europe with the seat raised up on top of a larger fuel tank, pegs moved back, lower bars, and reduced rake. I'd like to stumble upon a nice one for sale.
