2008 Harley-Davidson V-ROD

Description

I’ve been riding for more than five decades: American, British, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese - Dirt Bikes, Enduros, Touring Bikes, Sportbikes, Choppers, Cruisers. This is BY FAR the best ride I’ve ever owned. It's beautiful, it’s fast, it’s smooth, it’s comfortable. I’ve always been a meticulous rider/owner, but my strength continues to fade as I age and my balance is beginning to falter. My doctor has finally convinced me it’s finally time to hang up my leathers and sell my last/best bike. I’m
really
going to miss it.
BIKE

less than 200
built by Harley-Davidson for the Miller Lite contest/promotion. This low number makes it by far the rarest of the V‑Rods and one of the rarest of all Harleys.

CONDITION
ZERO accidents - the bike has never been laid down or tipped over.
ZERO mechanical problems or issues
The only blemish on this otherwise immaculate bike is one small scratch on the front fender (a gift from the previous owner –his one car condo garage was
really
small).
The factory original Dunlop tires are still pliable and grippy, showing approximately 50% tread remaining
Like nearly all V-Rods, the fuel gauge is unreliable. The
design
of the in-tank fuel sender is a known V-Rod issue that, to the best of my knowledge, the factory never fully resolved. I always use the trip odometer (just like the old days).
All photos show the listed motorcycle.
