HARLEY-DAVIDSON Night Rod (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1999, Harley-Davidson started the ground base for a line of V-twin cruiser motorcycles under the VRSC designation. Over the years, the VRSC series has grown to include many models with different names and appearances.

The VRSC, also known as V-Rod, was the first motorcycle manufactured by Harley-Davidson that featured a liquid-cooled engine and overhead camshafts. In addition, the V-Rods were often called muscle bikes due to their high-power output.

In 2007, the US manufacturer launched the Harley-Davidson Night Rod, a motorcycle introduced in 2006 as a hot rod-inspired model produced around the Revolution engine. In addition, the Night Rod was fitted with mid controls like the 2006 Street Rod.

In the power department, the 2007 Harley-Davidson Night Rod had a 1,130cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering 120 hp with a peak force at 8,250 rpm and 108 Nm (80 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.

The bike's suspension was handled by a 49 mm telescopic fork on the front with 100 mm wheel travel and dual shock absorbers with spring preload adjustability on the rear, offering 70 mm wheel travel and excellent handling.

For appearance, the 2007 Harley-Davidson Night Rod packed a small cowl with an integrated headlight, a single seat, a stylish chromed exhaust system, and a black-finished engine with chromed cooling fins.

As new, the bike came with an MSRP of $15,280; in 2023, it was sold for an average price of $6,890.
