Summary edit

Description

The VRSC (V-Twin Racing Street Custom) family was introduced in 2001 in a single model called the V-Rod. The V-Rod was developed as Harley-Davidson first "Power Cruiser", designed to compete against Japanese and American muscle bikes. The "V-Rod" made use of the Revolution engine, developed jointly with Porsche that, for the first time in Harley history, incorporates fuel injection, overhead cams, and liquid cooling. The V-Rod is visually distinct from other Harley-Davidson motorcycles. It can be easily identified by the 60-degree V-Twin engine, the radiator and the hydroformed frame members that support the round-topped air cleaner cover. A distinct difference between the V-Rod and all other Harley production motorcycles, is the location of the fuel tank. The fuel tank on the V-Rod is located underneath the seat, placing the driver on top of it, rather than the usual frontal placement, the "tank" in this place is simple dressing, hiding the frame. Loosely based on the VR-1000 superbike, it continues to be a platform around which Harley-Davidson builds drag-racing competition machines.

In 2008, Harley added anti-lock braking systems as a factory installed option on all VRSC models.[citation needed] Harley also increased the displacement of the stock engine from 1.1 L (1130 cc, 69 cu in) to 1.3 L (1250 cc, 76 cu in), which had only been previously available from Screamin' Eagle, added a slipper clutch as standard equipment and offered anti-lock brakes as an option for the first time.
