Harley-Davidson V-Rod

The Harley-Davidson V-Rod was a radical departure when it launched for the 2002 model year. Developed with Porsche, its liquid-cooled 1130cc Revolution engine was a modern DOHC, 60-degree V-twin that set it apart from Harley's traditional air-cooled lineup. It was the company's first true power cruiser, blending drag-strip styling with performance that challenged its Japanese and European rivals.

Collectors appreciate the V-Rod for its unique place in Harley's history. It's a modern classic that represents a bold, performance-oriented chapter for the brand. The Porsche engineering connection adds a unique story, and specific models like the Night Rod Special and Screamin' Eagle CVO variants are especially sought after. With an average sale price around $10,000, it's an accessible entry into collectible performance cruisers.

The market for V-Rods is stable, with 147 sales tracked across all model years from 2002 to 2017. Clean, low-mileage examples and special editions fetch premium prices, while riders can find higher-mileage bikes for a significant discount. It continues to attract buyers who want Harley styling combined with modern, liquid-cooled performance.

Prices range from $3,250 for project bikes to $27,750 for low-mileage special editions, with an average price of $10,361.
