The nontraditional "Harley that revs" gets its liquid-cooled engine punched out from 1,130 cc, a slipper clutch and optional ABS for its four-piston Brembos.If a more sporting attitude is your thing, the less cruiser-ish VRSCD Night Rod has mid-foot controls, more upright positioning and a more flickable 180-mm rear tire with the 125-hp setup.
IN OUR OPINION:An engine that rocks, begging for more applications.
