i like my harley more every time i ride it. everyone should have the luxury of owning a psortbike and a cruiser. they are both so much fun to ride.

got to test out my buddie's vrod last sunday and i have to echo a few of marko's points. very comfy bike. killer styling, didnt feel very confident with the far forward nature of the riding position but i think thats mostly my lack of experience with it. really starts moving above 6k. tiny tiny tach

I had fun on it. It takes a little time to get used to those forward controls...but ultimately if I had a cruiser I'd have forward controls on it.

true, i just dont like not being able to lean off as much

you got to have forward controls... its the only way. The wife's sporty mid controls suck IMO, that's why I have a set of highway pegs I made for it.
