The evolution of the original Harley-Davidson power
cruiser continues in 2009. The V-Rod rolls on a fat 240 mm rear tire. The
sweeping exhaust ends in bright chrome slash-cut mufflers. A scooped seat
cradles the rider just 26 inches off the pavement. Welded pull-back handlebar
frame the clamshell instrument pod and teardrop reflector optic headlamp. Raked
out to 36 degrees, 49 mm forks hold an anodized aluminum Profile laced front
wheel. The V-Rod is available in six production color combinations, including
new Red Hot Sunglo, Flame Blue Pearl, Vivid Black/Pewter Pearl, Flame Blue
Pearl/Pewter Pearl and three new Custom Color combinations: Black Ice/Blue Ice,
Light Candy Root Beer/Dark Candy Root Beer, and Big Purple Flake/Brilliant
Silver.

VRSC Key Features
1250cc Revolution V-Twin: Standard on all 2009 VRSC models, the 60-degree
Revolution 1250cc V-Twin is liquid-cooled and features Electronic Sequential
Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), dual overhead cams, four-valve heads, and a
five-speed transmission. The engine is rubber-mounted in a hydroformed steel
perimeter frame. A shell covers the large-volume airbox located over the engine.
A five-gallon fuel tank is located below the seat on all VRSC models. The engine
is tuned to produce up to 125 hp at 8250 rpm and up to 85 ft-lbs. of torque at
7000 rpm.
Optional ABS: Each VRSC model is available with optional, factory-installed
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). Designed to work in conjunction with
high-performance Brembo triple-disc brakes, this is the most advanced braking
system offered on any power cruiser. ABS is designed to help the rider maintain
control during braking events, especially those that happen in less-than-optimal
conditions. The components of the Harley-Davidson ABS have been designed and
packaged to be virtually invisible, preserving the uncluttered styling of the
area around the wheels. Unlike many motorcycle ABS, Harley-Davidson ABS is not a
linked system, meaning the rider maintains full, independent control of both
front and rear brakes.
