I was going to buy this V-Rod for a winter project but haven't any room in the garage for another bike. It's close enough from me that i could pick it up and ride it home in a couple of hours. I've seen some custom V-Rods that don't look too shabby. Fit a 360 tire on the back and maybe sell it for a few grand more. Caution this video may not be suitable for some viewers ..

I agree that these bikes need a marketing push, most riders don't know much about them and they are to rare for most to ever see one. They make a touring and a roadster and at a price that is decent, yet no marketing effort.

+1 to all the comments re Rocket presentation, long term reports etc.
I went to the NEC to check it out last year with the intent of checking it out and the competion before buying one and there was a matt black one with white stripes which had a million finger prints all over it and an X mounted on a plinth behind ropes so you couldn't get too close.
If you try and buy accessories, Triumph or otherwise, they're as rare as hen's teeth.
It's well known what an icon the Rocket is in terms of power, torque and general ability not to mention its good manners and Triumph should promote those things. At least they haven't cocked it up as they did with the Street Triple etc by putting horrible lights on it or a poxy underslung exhaust!
There is nothing like it and long may it continue.
