구매자가 알아야 할 사항
Liquid-Cooled Revolution
Unlike most Harleys, the Night Rod Special uses a liquid-cooled V-Rod engine (VRSCDX), which runs cooler and tolerates heat better than air-cooled models. This generally means less thermal stress and longer engine life with proper maintenance.
Watch the Fuel Pump
Fuel pump failures are a known recurring issue on the V-Rod platform, particularly on higher-mileage bikes. Budget for inspection or replacement, as a new OEM pump can run $300–$500 plus labor.
Strong Resale Retention
The Night Rod Special was discontinued after 2017, making it a collector favorite with stable used market values. Its aggressive, unique styling keeps demand steady among buyers who want a Harley that stands out from traditional cruisers.

1130cc 레볼루션 엔진, 블랙 아웃 스타일, 와이드 리어 타이어가 장착된 VRSCDX 나이트 로드 스페셜을 출시했습니다.
"신호등에서 스포츠바이크 라이더들을 당황하게 만든 할리"
레볼루션 엔진은 정말 놀랍습니다. 할리 배지에서 나온 125마력은 드래그 바와 영구 미소가 달린 나체 자전거에서 시속 160km를 달리기 전까지는 여전히 장난처럼 느껴집니다.모든 것이 검게 칠해진 미학이 그대로 남아 있습니다. 이 제품은 H-D 라인업의 다른 어떤 제품보다도 비열해 보였고 제가 본 관습의 절반도 넘었습니다.하지만 294kg의 무게에서는 모든 킬로그램이 30km/h 이하로 떨어진다는 것을 느낄 수 있습니다. 주차장과 유턴에는 충분한 집중력이 필요하고, 240구간 리어 타이어는 아침 식사로 코너를 많이 잡아먹죠.또한 인체공학적 설계는 장거리 체력 강화 장치라는 점도 말씀드리고 싶습니다. 낮은 바와 전방 페그는 90분 동안 여유롭게 달릴 수 있을 뿐 주말 투어에는 적합하지 않습니다.
장점
단점
엔진 배기량이 1250cc 레볼루션 엔진으로 증가하여 토크와 출력이 향상되었습니다.
수정된 스타일링 업데이트, 새로운 색상 옵션, 세련된 서스펜션 및 사소한 인체공학적 개선이 도입되었습니다.
중고 구매자 리뷰
"The Harley that actually rides like it looks — buy smart."
$7,500-$12,000 usedThe Night Rod Special is Harley's rebellious black sheep, and honestly that's exactly why it's interesting. Powered by the Porsche-developed Revolution V-twin, this thing actually handles and pulls hard — a genuine departure from the usual Harley cruiser formula. Used examples from 2012-2017 are the sweet spot: post-teething issues, pre-depreciation cliff. Expect to pay around $8,000-$11,000 for a clean one, and they're worth it if you know what you're buying. Here's the reality check though: parts are pricier than your typical Harley because that engine is genuinely different, and your local HD dealer might scratch their head at it. The riding position is aggressively low and forward — fantastic at 30, questionable at 55. Heat management is the elephant in the room; summer city riding will cook your right leg. Always check the rear tire width clearance and look for belt wear. These bikes attract modders, so inspect carefully for hack jobs.
