Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson1250 NIGHT ROD SPECIAL VRSCDX 2016 The dark side

presentation of the 1250 NIGHT ROD SPECIAL VRSCDX 2016

this dark hod-rod continues its tour in 2016, leaving time to savor this sculpture of power and steel. The change came in 2012, when the Night-Rod Special was given a facelift. The front end became sportier: the 49 mm fork was replaced by an inverted model with black-painted forks. The wheels were lighter, ergonomics improved and the rear end redesigned. The Night Rod's little sister, the VRSCDX Night Rod Special is a concentrate of style and performance. With a blacked-out Revolution 1246 cc engine spitting out 125 hp and 11.3 mkg of torque at 6,750 rpm, the VRSCDX Night Rod Special is the kingpin of Power Cruisers. The blackened parts give it a dark look, and the 240 mm tires (18" rear and 19" front) are ready to devour the asphalt.

A true custom at heart, the Night Rod Special features a restyled low seat, just 675 mm off the ground, low and wide dragster-style handlebars, advanced foot controlsand, above all, an inverted fork angled at 34° that makes it want to eat asphalt.

The black hydroformed steel frame, fork, three Brembo (no, you're not dreaming) 4-piston brake discs, swingarm and solid black openwork rims all show the darker side of the Night Rod Special. The Revolution engine, blackened with raised fins and lacquered crankcases, headlamp nacelle, raised and brushed dual exhaust with blackened caps and protectors, mirrors, rear shocks and controls reveal even more. A 19-liter fuel tank is located under the seat, leaving plenty of room for long rides.

Sitting on this monster, you'll notice an imposing stance and be ready to gobble it all up in a turn of the wheel. So take yourself for the road pirate if you can write a check for more than €18,000.

Peut on la brider en A2 ?

Flo Model 2016

Hello

This bike is my dream.
I was hesitating with the scout bobber but it really looks good
I wanted to know if you could throttle it without eating up the torque?
And I wanted to know if it had enough power to overtake up to 4th gear?
Thanks a lot. 09/19/2021 22:20 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Flo

Wilk14 Model 2011

I rode Japanese bikes for 4 years, Yamaha, reliable bikes but a bit common ... they're everywhere !!! Of course, with a much bigger budget (x2), I took the plunge and bought a Harley, but one unlike the others, one with a really mean look, one that revs up to over 7500 rpm for a V twin with liquid cooling, in short, a Harley that's not a Harley, a mismatch in terms of driving and the sweet sound of the engine (free chicanes and Sebring pots). yes, it's different, yes, it's not comfortable, but what a pleasure to ride.... vibrations, backfires on deceleration and thumbs up from onlookers, kids asking to squeeze the handle ..... it's a very reliable bike, but network maintenance is expensive, so you might as well go to the local mechanic. After 3 years of use, I want more, it's going to swell its heart and go full throttle, or even more ... one more thing, if you're less than 1.70 m tall, it's not possible unless you use the remote controls. Max speed today 210 odometer, range 270 kL mixed cool and angry. Bonne route 09/04/2018 22:12 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Wilk14

Good evening,
Tell me, how tall are you?
I'm about to take the plunge, I'm 178cm tall.
No Night Rod on trial yet.
So should I wait or move on?

Bjr Gillou,
i also think it's superb, I ordered it...
It rolls well, cool, after the sporty ones I've had....
We'll see about the rest...
Do you have any tips for me about this bike?
I'll take the 2 panniers with it right away, they can always be useful and they don't look bad on the bike...
thanks in advance for a reply...

Nightrider Model 2010

As the owner of such a marvel, I have to say that this bike is worthy of a "JamesBond". It's got guts and performance to spare! Although the radius is a little large, the riding position is comfortable, with a wide, well-placed seat. Sound-wise, it's fairly discreet, but still lets us hear that it's a beast. A slightly louder muffler would be in order. On the road, to hell with Madame's hairstyle! For those who are still hesitating, let her go - she's worth it, and eyes turn every time she passes! 01/15/2010 21:20 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Nightrider
