Harley-davidson Vrscf V-rod Muscle
The Harley-davidson Vrscf V-rod Muscle has a top speed of 210 km/h, produces 122 hp and weighs 295 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
Die Harley-Davidson VRSCF V-Rod Muscle wurde 2009 als aggressivere, muskulösere Variante der V-Rod-Reihe vorgestellt, die ihrerseits 2001 als Harleys erstes flüssigkeitsgekühltes Serienmotorrad debütierte, das in Zusammenarbeit mit Porsche Engineering entwickelt wurde. Der V-Rod Muscle zeichnete sich durch ein breiteres Heckdesign, einen 240-mm-Hinterreifen und eine einschüchterndere Haltung aus, um eine jüngere, leistungsorientierte Zielgruppe anzusprechen. Er wurde bis 2017 produziert, als Harley die gesamte V-Rod-Familie einstellte, um sich wieder auf andere Segmente zu konzentrieren.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Revolution Engine Reliability
The 1250cc Revolution V-Twin was co-developed with Porsche and is known for exceptional reliability when maintained properly. Unlike traditional air-cooled Harleys, it runs cooler and cleaner thanks to its liquid-cooling system.
Strong Resale Value
The V-Rod Muscle holds its value better than many cruisers due to its limited production run — Harley discontinued the entire V-Rod line after 2017. Collector interest is growing, making well-maintained examples increasingly desirable.
Watch for Regulator Issues
A known weak point is the voltage regulator/rectifier, which can fail and cause charging problems or battery drain. Always verify the charging system is functioning correctly before purchasing a used example.

Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern
"The best performance Harley ever built, criminally undervalued used."
$7,500-$13,000 usedThe V-Rod Muscle is Harley's most un-Harley motorcycle, and that's exactly why it's brilliant. That 1250cc Revolution engine — co-developed with Porsche — pulls hard from 3,000rpm and keeps pulling well past where most V-twins run out of breath. It sounds different, runs cooler than air-cooled Harleys, and genuinely handles. Buy one between 2009-2017 and you're getting a mature, sorted machine. Inspect the front forks carefully — they can leak on higher-mileage examples — and always check the rear tire width; those 240-section rubber gets expensive fast. Used prices have actually softened recently because mainstream Harley buyers still don't know what to do with it. That's your opportunity. Parts availability is decent, independent mechanics can work on it without drama, and reliability is genuinely strong. One honest warning: the riding position is aggressive and low. Taller riders above 6'2" will cramp up on longer rides. For shorter stints though, it's spectacular. Don't overthink it — just buy a clean one.
