The Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle was a cruiser machine presented at the 2008 Harley-Davidson dealer show in Las Vegas and launched in 2009. The H-D Muscle was part of the VRSC series of cruiser motorcycles that debuted in 1999.

The VRSC was a line of cruiser machines manufactured by the American motorcycle manufacturer from 1999 to 2017. The bikes, also known as V-Rods, were the first motorcycles in the Harley-Davidson range that featured a liquid-cooled engine with overhead camshafts.

The American fashion model Marisa Miller promoted the Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle and aimed at younger urban riders. The bike came with a slightly different style than other models in the VRSC range.

Like the other two models in the 2009 line-up, the Muscle machine packed the same 1,247cc Revolution engine, 240 mm wide rear tire, 19-liter fuel tank, slipper clutch, and forward-mounted controls.

Unlike the other models, the 2008 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle featured a straight-shot dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side. Also, the bike packed a chopper-style rear fender with integrated turn signals, a side-mounted license plate holder, and turn signals integrated into the rearview mirrors.

The 2009 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle took its power from a 1,247cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled Revolution engine, with 122 hp on tap at 8,250 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
