2002 Harley Davidson V-Rod, VRSCA, VRod

Launched in 2001, he Harley Davidson V-Rod marked a radical departure for the American firm, n terms of styling, esign and performance. It is based around a 86kW (115bhp) engine derived from the firm's VR1000 race bike. The engine -Harley's first production liquid-cooled V-twin - is thoroughly modern, ith twin camshafts and four valves for each cylinder, ed by a powerful fuel-injection system. But it is the chassis which most impresses - a new, nnovative take on the cruiser concept which at once looks modern and classic. The sinuous steel-tube frame is formed by pressurized water, hile the body panels are made of brushed aluminum, nd a ducted shroud guides cooling air to the hidden radiator.
