Harley-davidson Night Rod Special

The Harley-davidson Night Rod Special has a top speed of 210 km/h (estimated; Harley does not officially publish top speed), produces 122 hp and weighs 294 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

哈雷戴维森 Night Rod Special 于 2007 年推出,作为 VRSC(V-Rod)系列的遮光效果更强、更具侵略性的变体,该系列本身于 2001 年推出,是哈雷与保时捷工程合作开发的第一款液冷量产摩托车。Night Rod Special 采用了 1250cc Revolution 发动机、阻力式杠杆和险恶的全黑美学,使其与标准 V-Rod 系列区分开来。它一直生产到2017年,当时哈雷戴维森停止了整个VRSC系列,专注于新平台。

买家应该知道什么

🔧

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.

7.8/10

"在红绿灯处让运动摩托车骑手感到尴尬的哈雷。"

这款 Revolution 引擎确实令人惊讶——哈雷徽章的 125 马力仍然感觉像是在恶作剧,直到你骑着一辆带拖杆的裸体自行车行驶 160 公里/小时,露出永久的笑容。被封锁的一切美学都站得住脚;这个东西看起来比 H-D 阵容中的其他任何东西都要刻薄,而且陈年时间比我见过的习俗的一半还要好。但是,在294千克时,你会感觉每千克都低于30公里/小时——停车场和掉头需要全神贯注,而那个240段的后轮胎在早餐时吃弯的时候会很糟糕。我还要提醒你,人体工程学是一种长途惩罚手段:那些低杠和前杠适合90分钟的爆炸,而不是周末的巡回演出。

优点

+对于哈雷来说真的很快
+激进的停电工厂造型
+座椅高度低,无障碍
+流畅的液冷动力输送

缺点

294 kg 会惩罚慢动作
宽大的后轮胎限制了过弯
100 公里以外的人体工程学设计很残酷
优惠的价格,适度的零件支持
最适合: 渴望真实性能的都市巡洋舰 跳过 if: 你用力游览或弯道

Shorter riders wanting real performance cruiser presence

"The Harley that actually rides like it looks — buy smart."

$7,500-$12,000 used

The 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.
