Yep! Good analogy there, My "chinese" friend!!!
If you'd talk to 100 Harley owners, you'd probably get at least 75 of 'em saying pretty much the same negative things about the V-Rod as what I've been reading about the T-Bird by some of the more, let's say, "retro-minded" among us here!
However, except for the initial V-Rod having that weird off-set triple-clamp and rake angle, consequently giving it some weird handling characteristics, it's actually a superior machine to Harley's "heritage" models. And the engine is actually not bad looking either for a water-cooled unit!
(EXCEPT, of course, for that unfortunate little "aesthetic problem" IT TOO seems to suffer just around that there cylinder barrel area!)
