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.

Buying Tips
- The Porsche-developed Revolution engine is solid, but check for coolant leaks around the water pump and hoses. Ask for service history.
- Early models (2002-2004) can have finicky electronics. Verify that all gauges, lights, and switches function correctly.
- Many V-Rods are customized. While aftermarket exhausts are common, poorly executed modifications can lead to running issues. Stock examples often hold their value better.
- The wide 240mm rear tire on later models is a key part of the look but is expensive to replace. Check the tire's date code and condition.
Prices range from $3,250 for project bikes to $27,750 for low-mileage special editions, with an average price of $10,361.
