F You V-ROD, There's a new bad ass in town

I'd probably go with the V-Rod and put the wide tire kit on it IF I was going to get this type of a bike.

I would personally take the V-rod over this but I think it looks pretty interesting. I wouldn't make it sleep in the rain.

Ducati making a cruiser? Jesus H. Christ, is there anything left that's sacred in this world?

Not much.

I don't get how that's supposed to be a direct competitor for HD... It's not a cruiser

I would expect it to be aimed at the B-King and the Tuono...

Maybe they were thinking of the V-Max instead of the V-Rod?

It is, but the article called out the VRod. I think it was a typo

probably because HD claims the V-Rod has power and performance and sleek and svelte euro styling.
