well i'll be damned!

there's actually an appealing V-Rod in the world!
i have to admit, it still is a V-rod, thus not a real Harley, but it's a nice custom!














this pretty nice machine was build by MR. Mechanik in Germany.



before the rant starts about V-rot's being real HD's.
sink your mind in this:
a real HD has 2 cylinders in a 45 degree V configuration. a V-rod has 2 cylinders in a 60 degree configuration.(yes, this rules out the XA to (that's just a 1-1 rip off/copy of the BMW boxer)
a real HD has his powerplant  designed in the USA, a V-rodengine  is designed in Germany(for more than 50%)
a real HD is air cooled, a V-rod is watercooled. (yes, i am aware the MOCO tried water cooled heads before, and did not go that route)
a real HD has pushrods, a V-rod has overhead cams.

case closed!
