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

The Harley-Davidson V-Rod, also known as the V-twin Racing Street Custom (VRSC), was a line of cruiser machines manufactured by the American maker from 1999 to 2017. The V-Rods were the first motorcycles made by Harley-Davidson that featured a liquid-cooled engine with overhead camshafts and were often referred to as muscle bikes due to their high-power output.

From the standard machine, the maker made many available models with different names and characteristics, one of which was the Street Rod. The Street Rod debuted in 2006 as a roadster-inspired member of the VRSC line of cruisers.

Also, the Harley-Davidson Street Rod was the first model that packed a Showa inverted front fork with a steep rake angle and Brembo brakes. Compared to other models in the VRSC series, the bike had the highest seat height and the greatest lean angle at 40 degrees compared to the 32 degrees of other models.

Also, the Street Rod was the first model that packed a 19-liter fuel tank in 2006, becoming standard in 2007. The bike was aimed primarily at the European market and was the best one that could handle the engine's 120 hp output.

In 2007, the maker released the Harley-Davidson Street Rod, a cruiser motorcycle with a 1,130cc liquid-cooled V-twin Revolution engine that delivered an output power of 120 hp with a maximum peak force at 8,250 rpm and 108 Nm (80 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.
