No. The V-Rod is a big slammed cruiser. I want something that is light weight, short, agile and has some real poke. Other than the Street Rod, none of the V-Rod models have adequate suspension or lean angle, and they are over weight for the kind of riding I am thinking of. The kind of bike I want is along the lines of a BMW F800, Suzuki SV650 or Kawasaki Versys.
Take the Street, put a double overhead cam head on it, dual throttle bodies or at least a plenum that feeds dual velocity stacks and separate fuel injectors for each cylinder, higher quality suspension, no fooling Brembo dual discs up front and raise it a bit (oh, the horror) so it has enough cornering clearance to be competitive with the bikes I mentioned.
None of what I describe is even remotely like a V-Rod.
