2008 Harley-Davidson V-Rod - VRSCAW User Ratings

I'M ON A 5,OOO MILES TREK FROM SAN ANTONIO TO NORTHERN COLORADO VIA FLAGSTAFF. I'M TOOLING AROUND THIS GREAT STATE AND DUE TO HEAD HOME TOMORROW. I AM 5'8 AND WEIGH 160LBS. 47 Y/O. THE FIRST LEG OF MY TRIP WAS 625 MILES TO LAS CRUCES N.MEX. I HAVE RATED THIS SCOOT EXCEPTIONAL. THE ONLY SHORTCOMING WAS THE HUGE POTHOLES GOING OVER VAIL PASS (AND THE COUNTLESS OTHER PASSES I ENCOUNTERED). WINTER EXTENDED A LITTLE FARTHER THIS YEAR IN COLORADO AND THE POTHOLES WILL (LITERALLY) KILL YOU. THE REAR SHOCKS BOTTOM OUT AND IT FEELS AND SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE BROKEN YOUR SWEET SCOOT IN TWO. I HIT ONE SO HARD I GOT SIDEWAYS AND ALMOST HIGHSIDED. THE SHOWAS ON THE FRONT ARE GREAT AND THERE ARE AFTERMARKET SHOCKS YOU CAN PURCHASE FOR THE REAR. THE ONLY PART OF ME THAT GOT SORE WAS MY SHOULDERS AND THAT WAS JUST A NORMAL OCCURENCE ON A TREK LIKE THIS. THE SEAT IS GREAT (VERY UNUSUAL FOR THE FELLAS AT HD MOTORS). THERE ARE BAGS AND A RACK AVAILABLE THAT ARE EXCLUSIVE TO THE VRSCF. I RECOMMEND THEM. BASICALLY, ONCE YOU GET OVER THE LEXUS-LIKE PAINTSCHEME (IS THAT SO BAD?), THIS BIKE DELIVERS EXACTLY WHAT HARLEY SAYS IT WILL AND MORE!
