SAE Introduces New VRSCA V-Rod Harley-Davidson June 6
STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich.--April 26, 2002--The VRSCA V-Rod(TM) is the newest offering from Harley-Davidson.It is a result of a collaborative effort between Harley-Davidson's Engineering and Styling departments.
"The goal for developing the VRSCA V-Rod was to create a true performance custom bike with power and style that was both groundbreaking and true to Harley-Davidson," said Vice President of Engineering Earl Werner.
The VRSCA V-Rod has an all-new 1130cc H-D "Revolution" engine that is a street-legal descendant of the engine that powers the VR 1000 Superbike. One of the innovations of this engine is liquid cooling, which allows for increased horsepower and higher RPM - a Harley-Davidson first for a street bike.
