i seriously doubt that. what does a Vrod run in the quarter compared to any equivalent liter+ bike?
that would be something i would have to see to believe, and even then i would still highly doubt what i just saw.

How many Harleys have you owned? Call a Harley dealership,any of them and ask if a vrod smokes a buell. Ask about a Jim's Stroker. I have no need to lie. Vrods are the fastest stock harley you can own. PERIOD. Call any dealer.If they have sold a Jim's stroker they will verify what I've stated. I ride with a very fast Harley group and my bike is the one to beat. Vrods included. GGBIW

Where did I say a vrod would beat a busa? I wouldn't mind owning one of those. Vrods do smoke buells. Call any harley dealership. They sell both. My son owns one. Not everyone has what I own. Harleys are a lot of fun,cruiser or stroker,to each their own. To bad you won't own one. You'll never know what your missing.That is the one make women love.Nothing wrong with the other bikes. I also own a 650R with the full honda racing kit. That's a thrill in the mountains. Maybe you'll change your mind someday. If you were nearbuy I'd let you take my stroker for a ride. GGBIW

ive rode a few already and eh. thats about all i can say is eh. ive been on my boss' firebolt and it was pretty sweet, ive yet to be on a VRod but they just dont appeal to me in any aspect, stance, look, or performance wise theres way better out there, especially for the price.
you are the god of all things douche

Yeah,That's why I sold the vrod. wife complained after 60 miles on the back. didn't like my feet forward either.Has a small gas tank to boot. new ones are larger. They are wicked fast though. I believe they hold the 1/4 mile record now. GGBIW

Are you asking us to trust what a dealership tells us?

for a starter I'd say a 500 cc cruiser or 250 cc sport bike
if you are heavier then I'd venture up to a 750cc cruiser possibly. I got my VT500 and it isn't the fastest thing out there by any means but it keeps up with traffic and I'm 250 lbs
