Harley-Davidson VRSC

The Harley-Davidson VRSC, which stands for V-twin racing street custom and is better known as the V-Rod, is a line of V-twin cruiser motorcycles that Harley-Davidson made from 2002 until 2017. Often called muscle bikes for their high output, the V-Rods were the company's first street motorcycles with overhead camshafts and liquid cooling. The Revolution engine was developed for road use with help from Porsche engineers, loosely based on the VR-1000 Superbike racing engine, and a derivative, the Revolution X, later powered the entry-level Harley-Davidson Street. Unusually, the radiator and hydroformed frame members support the air cleaner cover, and the fuel tank sits under the seat. All VRSC models were built at the Kansas City, Missouri, plant. The line was introduced as a single model, the V-Rod, and became the company's best seller in several export markets.
