Hi Frank
I have tryed it for a short ride, only 15 min.
And I can tell you its fast, I took it up to 80 miles/h wery quick, this was on a small road at the countryside with a lot of trees around the road and when I came out to an open field I got a big supprise because the wind hit the hole bike wery terrible and it was a bit sqary.
I think this is because the front weel dont have spokes and the hole bike is very tight if you look at it from besides.
I have a LC 1500 and a Savage and the LC do not have spokes either but it dont take the wind this bad.
I road my bike to and from this place where I testride the Vrod and I did not feel the wind at all.
If this problem not bather you, I think the bike is very nice both to look at and to ride, you cant be to short because the distance to the forwardcontrolls.
The seat is wery god as well.
And I tell you the engine is something speciall, wery smoth and a lot of power and torque.
The only bad I can say about this bike is the sidewind problem, but change rim and you have a nice speedcustom bike.
Find a place to test one, and you will have a wery gooood time.
Take care Odar
