2007 Harley Davidson Night Rod Special Review – Motorbike Bicycle
2007 Harley Davidson Night Rod Special
Harley Davidson built to develop the V-Rod Revolution range and recent additions are the VRSCDX Night Rod Special. It is longer, lower and evil looks of things out there. It’s the closest thing to a street legal drag bike without the wheelie bar fitted. Night Rod Special was launched in 2006 and a new all dragged out with a mega-wide rear tire 240mm, drag handlebars and forward foot peg mount. This does not happen very often, but when I first saw it in the flesh, it was love at first sight. Second Street Rod and Night Rod had to grow on me, but the Special is truly special. Some of the feelings from when I first my eyes on the original V-Rod comes back. Night Rod Special is just more of everything in a way like-minded, very black.

I visited one of the many launching the Euro, which is considered the best because it is self Rideout with Bill Davidson and the Harley celebration in the village including at the European Bike Week in Austria. This includes many beautiful mountain road in Austria, Slovenia and Italy. Not exactly the ideal environment for low and long Harley Davidson Night Rod Special.
I enjoyed my first trip on the Night Rod Special until the second half of the day, and I made the right choice, because our first few hours of rain rises. I also have a turbo-like acceleration above 6,000 rpm on the highway at the end of the trial of a long day.
Rise brutal VRSCDX is not easy or difficult, but certainly not neutral. It is quite easy to have a sit and go straight ahead, as the jumbo rear tire and mile-long wheelbase ensure that the Special is stable as a mountain in a straight line. The problem arises in the corner, because there is no ground clearance – his Harley there was no intention. However, because we’re in the Alps, Harley Davidson Night Rod Special felt a bit like a fish out of water, and I know in advance to be careful. Sun’s angular velocity quickly ish Contest ‘and offered early throttle openings.
Four twin-piston Brembo brakes strong soothing, but I have to remind myself that the 240mm rear tire held hands forward so that I could not go as fast as it entered the corner. What can I do but have to give it all away when I was half ’round the corner. No matter what kind of lean you have, there are still large patches of black rubber touching the tarmac at any time. rubber is Dunlop’s and not much to say except the fact that there are many of them behind the D240 and D208 240/40R-18 front 120/70ZR-19 relatively small. It feels like a bit of a mismatch, but then again the bike was never designed to corner like the Street Rod, or even the Night Rod Night Rod Special. pure evil in the Alps and I like it!
The seat height is 640mm lower pegs combined with gravity handlebars and footpegs position. This kind of squeezed along the belly and stretches back to the front, allowing you to become a human clamshell. I would like to have Gordon Ramsey to get a comment on the clamshell position. I think it would be the F-and W-word to participate. All 2007 VRSC models now have a five gallon tank and new tools, which now includes a clock and second trip-counter.
