Harley-Davidson V-Rod Night Rod VRSCD 2006

Harley-Davidson V-Rod Night Rod VRSCD 2006

The acceleration with a V-Rod is incomparable. You could say that this was the first off-the-shelf Harley that really marches. On the other hand, the sound is rather meagre and needs the floodgates to be opened. As is well known, the engine was developed by Porsche. But at only 21,295 euros, the V-Rod is much cheaper than a Porsche.

Rapid acceleration

high speeds possible

compact, coherent motorbike

disc edges.

No support provided for a passenger

Ninja fans have no choice but to buy the new 10. It is lighter, stronger, easier to handle and yet easier to ride than any other ZX-10R to date. Even compared to the other Japanese bikes, the Kawa presents itself as superior. Besides the European bikes, emotions, preferences for certain colours and shapes certainly come into play.

Extremely precise traction control

efficient braking system

integrated electronics

positive ABS system

high engine power.

Suboptimal transmission - tight gearshifts.
