"New" '08 V Rod Trike

[Greydog]

I went over to my Harley dealer yesterday just to get out of the house for a while. I went into the back showroom and there sat a brand spanking new '08 VRSC with a Motor Trike conversion. Really great looking Trike and the price was $22,000.00. I think that's a great price considering the V-Rod is a new un-titled '08 with only 10 miles on the speedo!! It's at Baxter's Harley Davidson in Gallipolis, Ohio if anyone is interested. :yes:

Dang! I've said before that my next trike may well be a V-rod/Motortrike. Wish you had posted a picture, Greydog!

Call Ben!!! They're open today!! It was either black or dark blue but the lines of a V-Rod matched to a trike are really great. Sort of has a Chopper look mated to a cruiser.

I also don't like the 2-wheel version, but your description is right on when it comes to the triked one, Greydog. I found a little pic of it on Ben's web page. Black and Orange.

UB, Ben (Baxter's HD) is also who built my Fat Boy trike, so I know him and his shop. Haven't run into Greydog there yet, unfortunately, but it's bound to happen sooner or later.

A V-Rod trike is an interesting combination.

A V-Rod trike is an interesting combination.

Is that because of the overall design or the water cooling?

Can't you just imagine this in YELLOW !

 

[Nana]

Yes....I can!:yes:

 

[WindyOne]

Sunflower Yellow with a black frame what more would you want? :yes:

 

[WindyOne]

I wonder why they have it listed as pre-owned?

 

[WindyOne]

The yellow trike is still for sale although not on ebay. I think it is in arkansas.

 

[Juju]

OMG, it's gorgeous!!! Nana, weren't you just saying the other night when you were here that you like the VRod trike? And it's your color!

 

[WindyOne]

He has a make an offer button.

What are the opinions that the VRod would make a good trike? I mean it isn't a touring frame so would it be comfortable on trips? I think the fact that it is a water cooled engine is great, I am just not sure about the handling. The amount of trunk space looks more limited when compared to a tri glide I wonder just how much space there is?

Ultraboy this is great info. I was thinking this may not be as comfortable as the touring bikes but you dispelled that. Putting a touring seat on this with a backrest should make the ride even better. I am thinking the difference in trunk space could be offset by a luggage rack? I think too that the seller had this in e bay once before and didn't have any bidders. If Nana did choose to make an offer she could do well with the make an offer button. I just think that the advantages of it being water cooled is much better than the heat problems with the tri glide for instance. Dual Brembo brakes in front are a nice Touch.
Besides all of this it is YELLOW.

It just sunk in that this MT kit included the aftermarket exhaust in that price. Thinking about the super sport kit you had to buy those extra.

 

[Nana]

What's not to like?????? That right now it is not possible for me to make an offer
But I have a feeling there will be someone who will scoop up that pretty thing!

 

[WindyOne]

All Good things come in time Nana. Besides you already have a pretty nice ride there. I would hate to see you changes trikes.

Oh yes, I love my Fat Boy/Champion! I can be very content for some time to come

As many times as he's listed this trike you would think he'd be happy with 15K in his pocket. You know now though that his price is somewhere between those numbers.
