HARLEY-DAVIDSON V-Rod 10th Anniversary Edition (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

The first Harley-Davidson was launched in 2002 and was powered by a 1,130cc Revolution engine with 115 hp at the crank. In addition, the bike rolled on solid disc wheels, and all the VRSCA models manufactured from 2002 to 2006 were equipped with a 14-liter fuel tank.

Ten years later, in 2012, the American manufacturer launched the Harley-Davidson V-Rod 10th Anniversary Edition, a bike that paid tribute to the original 2002 V-Rod. The 2002 V-Rod motorcycle introduced the liquid-cooled engine with overhead camshafts, a first for the American manufacturer.

The 10th Anniversary Edition machine came in a Brilliant Silver Pearl color scheme and a color-matched frame but also featured many chromed elements, such as the head covers, engine covers, and exhaust system.

The 2012 special edition machine was included in the 2012 line-up alongside the updated Night Rod Special and V-Rod Muscle. In 10 years of production, from only one model, the Harley-Davidson range grew to include several versions with various designations and characteristics.

At the core of the bike was a 1,247cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled Revolution engine, developed for road use by Porsche Engineering, delivering an output power of 123 hp with a peak at 8,000 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) torque at 7,250 rpm.

The 2012 Harley-Davidson V-Rod 10th Anniversary Edition had an MSRP of $15,999, while 11 years later, in 2023 (at the time of writing), it was for sale at an average price of $6,490.
