Harley-Davidson V-Rod Street Glide

A rumor has it that Harley-Davidson may be thinking of offering a new bike for 2008, the "V-Rod Street Glide"...

This bike pictured above was brought to the San Diego Motorcycle & Hot Rod show last weekend courtesy of San Diego Harley-Davidson.

It's the Street Rod, but fitted with the Batwing fairing, touring hardbags, touring fenders, and floorboards.

In fact, San Diego Harley-Davidson has this motorcycle featured on its website among it's customized offerings. My understanding is that the "V-Rod Street Glide" is a creation of San Diego Harley-Davidson, but that the Motor Company may be looking at making this a factory production.

Just a rumor, though...

  • Dress it up any way you want to,...it is still a V-Rod. An embarassment to the Harley family

  • Get educated; The V-Rods will blow any of your hogs off the map. This Dressed unit looks like crap but and you may not like the fact that the V-Rods are faster than your other choices, but it is still a Harley and a FAST ONE AT THAT.

  • Harley already has a Street Glide, and it's a helluva lot more bike than some V-Rod abortion.

  • One things for sure, anyone traveling on a vrod will put some serious distance between them and anyone traveling on another motorcycle. Have had many bikes in my day, but nothing is higher on the fun factor than a vrod period. The only reason airheads wont ride the v, is because they know they will want one. As far as torque goes, i own an 06SeVrod with 2-1 rinehart, race tuner, 58 throttle body and that bike will pull my 06 SeFatboy from 2500 and up in any gear. Get out and ride one. Give it a chance and you`ll find it brings back the kid in you.

  • Being the owner of a 2002 V-Rod and a 2007 Street Glide, I can tell you that the Street Glide is like riding a tractor compared to riding the V-Rod. Now, I don't think we need to convert the current v-rod into a bagger, but take the revolution motor, make it bigger and then fit it in a true bagger frame. The v-rod frame isn't large enough for a touring bike.

    To these idiots that are saying a v-rod is an abortion, you haven't ridden one and don't have the money to have one of each so you can compare them on a daily basis.

    When I bought the street glide it put out 62 bhp, the v-rod put out 110 bhp stock. I have spent over $3000.00 on the street glide to get it run cooler and to have some power. I had to change the cam, rework the heads, change the rockers, exhaust, buy a SERT and air cleaner, not to mention the 2 hours of dyno tuning to get it to stop pinging.

    The v-rod runs like a champ and has never needed anything besides and oil change.

  • what the h___ are you guys talking about,the v-rods can`t even keep up to any 600 crotch rockets,the only thing that they are going to pass is another harley,....V. macleod

  • I'd be a buyer for a HDMOCO V-Rod Street Guide. Great base, great technology.

  • Why would the vrod need to keep up with a 600 crotch rocket? is the vrod even in the same class? no, it is in a completely different class and although it has over 200 lbs on the 600s it will keep right up with them... i would like to see an airhead stay half as close to a 600 in the quarter without a few thousand in engine work. i can tell you first hand i have had more than a few 600 owners sweating at the end of a race when i line up with my vrod....

  • haha, the comments from the anti v-rod folks are funny...they hate a bike that runs well and is fast.....funny stuff...

  • Harley Davidson has always sold image, not motorcycles. With the V-rod they actually decided to build a motorcycle for a change, and a damned good one. The people that wasted tons of money on Harley's ridiculous clothing and other crap, along with accesorizing themselves with an over priced, underpowered, giant POS bike like most HD products are the ones that truely hate the V-rod, for obvious reasons. On a real dragstrip only really good riders can get a 600 sportbike to beat the V-rod in the 1/4, and only then at the very end of it. 0-60 on the street, with average riders, the V-rod kills almost everything out there. Stop reading times and speeds in magazines and go get some times and speeds in real life.

  • FACT - The V-Rod is the most technologically advanced Harley Davidson ever produced. It's also the fastest.

    FACT - It is also the ONLY motorcycle to ever have it's engine pass Porsche engine testing. That's 500 hours of hell, that NO other bike has ever done.

    Add in the most aerodynamic, and sporting the lowest center of gravity, and you have the Devil incarnate on two wheels.

    If that's an embarassment, and "abortion", then you're nothing but a fool.

  • Edit: However, that bagged abomination should never have been made. Whichever idiot put that together, needs to be hung, drawn, and quartered for ruining a nice VRod (though I believe it was actually a Night-Rod).
