			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2474" title="2011-Harley-Davidson-VRSCFV-RodMusclec" src="http://www.harley-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/2011-Harley-Davidson-VRSCFV-RodMusclec-603x431-custom.jpg" alt="2011-Harley-Davidson-VRSCFV-RodMusclec" width="603" height="431" />The fast, powerful and aggressive V-Rod Muscle motorcycle is built for riders who want a little extra beef with their horsepower. Big meaty air scoops, muscle-bound mufflers, 240 mm rear tire, fastback-style tail section and massive airbox compliment the power of the 1250 cc liquid-cooled Revolution engine. Ride the V-Rod Muscle and experience the true definition of &#8220;power cruiser.&#8221; This brawny beast is for performance enthusiasts who crave power and control, with a dash of intimidation, in a package that is all Harley-Davidson.</p>

It features black wheels, black frame, black fork lowers, triple clamps, swingarm, racing stripes on the airbox cover and a color-matched speed screen visor. What makes it a true member of the VRSC family are things like the aggressive, drag-inspired riding position, the amazing power of the Revolution engine and the distinctive sound and feel that only Harley-Davidson can provide.</p>

<p align="left">The VRSCDX Night Rod Special is even darker and nastier than      the Night Rod. Features include drag bars and forward controls, an all-black      125-hp Revolution V-Twin engine and more blacked-out components, including      the fork legs and a wide swing arm supporting a beefy 240 mm rear tire. Brushed      Straight-shot Dual mufflers have black end caps and heat shields. A contrasting      racing stripe paint scheme traces the length of the bike. The 25.2-inch seat      height makes Night Rod Special the lowest VRSC model.</p>
<p><strong>NEW ON VRSC FOR 2008 </strong></p>
<p><strong>1250cc Revolution V-Twin engine: </strong>Originally designed for the CVO Screamin&#8217;      Eagle V-Rod, bore is increased to 105 mm from 100 mm, boosting displacement      from 1130 cc to 1250 cc. This engine is tuned to produce up to 125 hp at 8250      rpm and up to 85 ft-lbs. of torque at 7000. The 60-degree Revolution V-Twin      engine is liquid-cooled and features Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection      (ESPFI), dual overhead cams, four-valve heads, and a five-speed transmission.      The engine is rubber-mounted in hydroformed steel perimeter frame. A steel      shell covers the large-volume airbox. A 5-gallon fuel tank is located below      the seat on all VRSC models.</p>
<p><strong>Slipper Clutch: </strong>All 2008 VRSC models have a new clutch with race-bred      &#8220;slipper&#8221; action that helps mitigate drivetrain strain and rear-wheel      lock-up during downshifting. Integral with the new clutch design is an assist      feature that reduces clutch-lever effort by more than 20 percent.</p>
<p><strong>Optional ABS: </strong>For the first time, each VRSC model is available with      optional, factory-installed Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). Designed to work      in conjunction with the high-performance Brembo brakes on all VRSC models,      this is the most advanced braking system offered on any power cruiser. ABS      is designed to help the rider maintain control during emergency stopping situations,      especially those that happen in less than ideal conditions. The components      of the Harley-Davidson ABS have been designed and packaged to be virtually      invisible, preserving the clean custom styling of the area around the wheels.      Unlike many motorcycle ABS, Harley-Davidson ABS is a manual, independent system,      meaning the rider maintains full, independent control of how much of each      brake is applied.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span id="ctl00_templateMainContent1_oFeatures"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1783" href="http://www.harley-motorcycles.org/1782/2008-harley-davidson-vrscda-night-rod/2008-vrsc-vrscdnightroda/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1783" title="2008 VRSC-VRSCDNightRoda" src="http://www.harley-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/2008-VRSC-VRSCDNightRoda-651x433-custom.jpg" alt="2008 VRSC-VRSCDNightRoda" width="651" height="433" /></a></span></p>
<p>Originally designed for the CVO Screamin&#8217;      Eagle V-Rod, bore is increased to 105 mm from 100 mm, boosting displacement      from 1130 cc to 1250 cc. This engine is tuned to produce up to 125 hp at 8250      rpm and up to 85 ft-lbs. of torque at 7000. The 60-degree Revolution V-Twin      engine is liquid-cooled and features Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection      (ESPFI), dual overhead cams, four-valve heads, and a five-speed transmission.      The engine is rubber-mounted in hydroformed steel perimeter frame. A steel      shell covers the large-volume airbox. A 5-gallon fuel tank is located below      the seat on all VRSC models.</p>
<p><strong>Slipper Clutch: </strong>All 2008 VRSC models have a new clutch with race-bred      &#8220;slipper&#8221; action that helps mitigate drivetrain strain and rear-wheel      lock-up during downshifting. Integral with the new clutch design is an assist      feature that reduces clutch-lever effort by more than 20 percent.</p>
<p><strong>Optional ABS: </strong>For the first time, each VRSC model is available with      optional, factory-installed Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). Designed to work      in conjunction with the high-performance Brembo brakes on all VRSC models,      this is the most advanced braking system offered on any power cruiser. ABS      is designed to help the rider maintain control during emergency stopping situations,      especially those that happen in less than ideal conditions. The components      of the Harley-Davidson ABS have been designed and packaged to be virtually      invisible, preserving the clean custom styling of the area around the wheels.      Unlike many motorcycle ABS, Harley-Davidson ABS is a manual, independent system,      meaning the rider maintains full, independent control of how much of each      brake is applied.</p>
<p><strong>105th Anniversary Edition:</strong> A limited-edition, serialized VRSCAW V-Rod      105th Anniversary Edition will be available in 2008 (see separate release      for details on the 105th Anniversary package).</p>

<p>THE FIRST STREET-LEGAL HARLEY® TO FEATURE A LIQUID-COOLED POWER PLANT, NOW A TIRE-SMOKING CELEBRATION OF 105 YEARS OF HARLEY-DAVIDSON.</p>
<p>Even without the optional Anniversary get up, it’s a shining example of where all that tradition can take us. That sleek sheet metal up top is actually an airbox housing velocity stacks. Up front there’s a new drag-strip-inspired laced wheel. At the center is a beefy 123hp,1250cc liquid-cooled, Revolution® engine and new slipper clutch. Big 240mm rear tire. Optional ABS brakes have been seamlessly engineered in. Sleek and clean. Let the adrenaline take over your bloodstream</p>
<p><strong>NEW ON VRSC FOR 2008 </strong></p>
<p><strong>1250cc Revolution V-Twin engine: </strong>Originally designed for the CVO Screamin&#8217; Eagle V-Rod, bore is increased to 105 mm from 100 mm, boosting displacement from 1130 cc to 1250 cc. This engine is tuned to produce up to 125 hp at 8250 rpm and up to 85 ft-lbs. of torque at 7000. The 60-degree Revolution V-Twin engine is liquid-cooled and features Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), dual overhead cams, four-valve heads, and a five-speed transmission. The engine is rubber-mounted in hydroformed steel perimeter frame. A steel shell covers the large-volume airbox. A 5-gallon fuel tank is located below the seat on all VRSC models.</p>
<p><strong>Slipper Clutch: </strong>All 2008 VRSC models have a new clutch with race-bred &#8220;slipper&#8221; action that helps mitigate drivetrain strain and rear-wheel lock-up during downshifting. Integral with the new clutch design is an assist feature that reduces clutch-lever effort by more than 20 percent.</p>
<p><strong>Optional ABS: </strong>For the first time, each VRSC model is available with optional, factory-installed Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). Designed to work in conjunction with the high-performance Brembo brakes on all VRSC models, this is the most advanced braking system offered on any power cruiser. ABS is designed to help the rider maintain control during emergency stopping situations, especially those that happen in less than ideal conditions. The components of the Harley-Davidson ABS have been designed and packaged to be virtually invisible, preserving the clean custom styling of the area around the <a id="KonaLink1" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2008models/2008models-Harley-Davidson-VRSC-VRSCAWAV-Rod.htm#" target="undefined"><span style="color: #006400 ! important; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; position: static;"><span style="color: #006400 ! important; font-family: serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; position: static;">wheels</span></span></a>. Unlike many motorcycle ABS, Harley-Davidson ABS is a manual, independent system, meaning the rider maintains full, independent control of how much of each brake is applied.</p>

<p align="left">Descendant of the original V-Rod that helped launch the power-cruiser      segment, the VRSCAW V-Rod rolls on a huge 240 mm rear tire, with forward controls      and pull-back welded handlebar. The new 1250cc liquid-cooled Revolution V-Twin      engine sends 121 peak horsepower and 84 ft.-lbs. of peak torque to that brawny      rear tire in 2008. The Brushed Aluminum Profile Laced front <a id="KonaLink0" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2008models/2008models-Harley-Davidson-VRSC-VRSCAWAV-Rod.htm#" target="undefined"><span style="color: #006400 ! important; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; position: static;"><span style="color: #006400 ! important; font-family: serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; position: static;">wheel</span></span></a> is new for      2008.</p>
<p><strong>NEW ON VRSC FOR 2008 </strong></p>
<p><strong>1250cc Revolution V-Twin engine: </strong>Originally designed for the CVO Screamin&#8217;      Eagle V-Rod, bore is increased to 105 mm from 100 mm, boosting displacement      from 1130 cc to 1250 cc. This engine is tuned to produce up to 125 hp at 8250      rpm and up to 85 ft-lbs. of torque at 7000. The 60-degree Revolution V-Twin      engine is liquid-cooled and features Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection      (ESPFI), dual overhead cams, four-valve heads, and a five-speed transmission.      The engine is rubber-mounted in hydroformed steel perimeter frame. A steel      shell covers the large-volume airbox. A 5-gallon fuel tank is located below      the seat on all VRSC models.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-82" title="2009 Harley-Davidson VRSCF V-Rod Muscle" src="http://www.harley-motorcycles.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/09_VRSCF_AF-300x214.jpg" alt="2009 Harley-Davidson VRSCF V-Rod Muscle" width="300" height="214" />The wide, angular air-box cover and chopped tail section look as solid and smooth as billet and give the new V-Rod Muscle lines that are clean and powerful. The size of the massive 240 mm rear tire is accentuated by the new broad, clipped and clean rear fender. The combination stop/tail/turn LED light is tucked under the edge of the rear fender, and the side-mount license plate leaves the fender surface smooth and uncluttered. Front-end styling balances the rear, with a trimmed fender that’s blacked out behind satin-finished inverted forks and LED turn signals integrated into the mirror stems. The radiator shrouds are restyled and color-matched to the rest of the bodywork, while the new airbox side covers incorporate air scoop inlets covered with woven wire mesh. The silver five-spoke cast aluminum front and rear wheels are a new design for the V-Rod line.</p>
<p>A new deep seat holds the rider firmly in place against the thrust of the Revolution V-Twin engine. The Muscle features forward foot controls, and a new handlebar with internal wiring. The handlebar is 1.5-inch cast aluminum with tubular steel ends and integrated risers. Bold polished forged aluminum triple clamps secure the inverted forks and frame the distinctive V-Rod teardrop reflector optic headlamp, housed in a satin black bucket.</p>
<p>The long profile of a 34-degree fork rake is stretched visually by new “sidepipe” dual exhausts in satin chrome with fat, turn-out mufflers exiting behind the rear axle. The V-Rod Muscle is available in Vivid Black, Brilliant Silver, Dark Blue Denim and Red Hot Sunglo.</p>
