Harley-davidson V-rod Muscle

The Harley-davidson V-rod Muscle has a top speed of 220 km/h, produces 122 hp and weighs 295 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

Harley-Davidson VRSC V-Rod został wprowadzony na rynek w 2002 roku jako radykalne odejście od tradycyjnej stylizacji Harley, wyposażony w chłodzony cieczą silnik Revolution opracowany wspólnie z Porsche Engineering. Wariant VRSCF V-Rod Muscle został wprowadzony na rynek w 2009 roku, charakteryzujący się szerszą, bardziej agresywną postawą z szerszą tylną oponą i muskularną nadwozią inspirowaną kulturą wyścigów drag racing. Pozostał w produkcji do 2017 roku, kiedy to Harley zaprzestał produkcji całej gamy V-Rod, co czyni go jednym z najbardziej zorientowanych na osiągi i wyróżniających się wizualnie motocykli, jakie kiedykolwiek wyprodukowała marka Milwaukee.

Co kupujący powinni wiedzieć

🔧

Porsche-Engineered Reliability

The V-Rod's Revolution engine was co-developed with Porsche, making it one of the most technically reliable Harley engines ever built. It requires less frequent maintenance than traditional air-cooled Harleys.

⚠️

Watch the Cooling System

The liquid-cooled engine can develop coolant leaks around the water pump and hoses on higher-mileage bikes — always inspect these before buying used. Overheating in slow traffic is also a known complaint.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The V-Rod Muscle was discontinued after 2017, making clean used examples increasingly desirable as a collector's bike. Well-maintained models hold their value better than many other used Harleys in the same price range.

Najlepszy dla
Performance-hungry riders wanting Harley street credibility

"Serious performance in a Harley badge, but budget for upkeep."

$6,500-$13,000 used

The VRSC Muscle is Harley's odd duck — a water-cooled Revolution engine developed with Porsche that produces genuine performance numbers. Used examples are plentiful and prices have softened considerably, making this one of the better value propositions in the HD lineup right now. The 1250cc V-twin pulls hard between 3,000-8,000rpm in a way no air-cooled Harley can touch, and the stance is genuinely aggressive rather than just cosmetically so. That said, know what you're buying. The low seat looks cool until you're stuck in summer traffic and your thighs are cooking against that wide rear tire. Maintenance costs run higher than traditional Harleys — this engine needs dealer attention more often, and parts availability has tightened since production ended in 2017. Check the radiator carefully on higher-mileage bikes and look for fork seal weeping, both common issues. For the money, especially in the $7,000-$10,000 range, you're getting serious performance wrapped in a head-turning package that still carries the H-D badge. Just don't expect it to feel like anything else in the catalog.
