The Rally Bikes - V-Rods







V-Rod is the latest Harley range, based broadly on a design for a drag bike. Initially available in just one colour and variation, more and more variants are available and an increasing number of custom bikes are evident. Some are shown here.

V2PNK is a Lady of Harley's bike, complete with a crisscross pink ribbon to the saddle and a pair of lips on the backreat, both not visible in the picture. She rode off shortly after I took this picture, with a pink helmet of course!
V3ROD featured a very detailed paint job to the metalwork and a matching saddle.
The orange and black bike is the Screaming Eagle version, which is Harley's own name for their high performance enhancement and is a component of the drag racing version, which has a long tail and small wheels at the back end to avoid it tipping backwards under extreme acceleration.
