Harley V-Rod, Anyone got one? Opinion?

[ffffanman]

I came across a 2003 Harley V-Rod VRSCA for sale here with about 600 miles on it. Its the Silver one.
Owner has a down payment on a Bmw Dekar or something like that which he can then take off road.
He'll take 20,000.00 cdn funds for it. The only thing added is a windshield and cover.
I see the new ones are 25,000.00 cdn.
Any owners here, or people who have driven one or experience a story of it.
Post your pics as well if you got em.
Thanks,
Trev

I've owned several models of BMW motorcycles in the past, currently own a Honda St1100. BMWs are great machines, better than their cars, IMHO. The Paris/Dakar model will take you anywhere you want to go, on or off road. A Harley Vrod is merely a fancy boulevard cruiser. With a Harley, you're paying more for the name than for reliability, so maintenence is something to consider. It is a cool bike, so depends on how you want to ride.

I think it's a great looking bike. They don't seem to get much respect from the Harley faithful though. They don't sound like your typical HD v-twin, I believe the engine was designed by Porsche.
