Motorcycle Mania

Styled for performance-minded enthusiasts who like a blacked-out, no-hassle ride, the Night Rod Special model takes the VRSC™ family on a sinister trip down a dark alley.
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.
This power motorcycle cruiser has a drag style low rise handlebar that places you in an aggressive power cruiser riding position. The H-D Night Rod Special exhaust has dual Harley mufflers with black end caps.
Exhaust shields are also found on the VRSCDX Harley exhaust. This motorcycle muffler system proves that a performance exhaust can still be a beautiful set of pipes.
In addition to the beautiful Harley exhaust, the Harley Night Rod Special VRSCDX has an ultra wide rear tire – exactly what you want on the back of your power motorcycle cruisers. Check out this power cruiser and discover why this power motorcycle cruiser stands out from the rest.
