Bonneville America Forums Forums General Motorcycle Forums Other Bikes Ordered a new 1200C Sportster

Btw guys, from what I've read in the past about the V-Rod, OB is somewhat correct about the V-Rod. The V-Rod's basic engine design was orginially designed in-house by H-D to power their VR1000 race bike in the mid-90s, and was a testbed for the eventual V-Rod engine. However, because H-D soon discovered the VR1000 wasn't producing as much power as originally hoped, and was also found not to be as competitive in the AMA Superbike series as H-D had at first hoped it would be, they soon turned to Porsche in hopes that that German firm could help wring out more performance from it, but to little avail.
