In 2005, the American manufacturer released the Harley-Davidson VRSCB V-Rod into the world. The bike was the second model in the VRSC series, slightly different from the VRSCA V-Rod.

In addition, the bike featured custom-styled rear view mirrors, bullet-shaped turn signals with chrome housings on the front and black on the rear, forward-mounted controls, and an under-seat-mounted fuel tank.

Besides that, both machines packed the same performance characteristics, with the same 1,130cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine that delivered an output power of 115 hp at 8,250 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) torque at 7,300 rpm.

As for braking performance, the bike packed two 300 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 300 mm disc with a four-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.
