Engine and Performance –
The heart of this V-Rod is its 1,130cc Revolution V-twin engine, which was co-developed with Porsche. This engine is designed for performance, featuring sequential port fuel injection and dual overhead camshafts with four valves per cylinder. It’s finished in a gray powder coat with bright accents, adding to the bike’s striking appearance. The engine is complemented by a Screamin’ Eagle exhaust system and an electric starter, ensuring reliable and robust starts.
Design and Features –
This V-Rod stands out with anodized aluminum bodywork over a silver-finished, powder-coated double-cradle frame. The bike has solid alloy wheels—19 inches at the front and 18 inches at the rear—fitted with ZR-rated Dunlop Sportmax tires. The Showa suspension system includes a 49mm telescopic fork at the front and dual chrome-finished preload-adjustable shocks at the rear, providing a smooth and controlled ride.

The chrome-finished handlebar is mounted beneath the instrument panel, which includes a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 9k-rpm redline, and a fuel level gauge. The digital odometer currently displays 6,000 miles, with only a handful of those miles added by the current owner since acquiring the bike from the original owner in 2024.
