Built around Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2014 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle pairs a 1250.1 cc (76.3 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 118 Nm (87 lb-ft) at 6,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 105.0 x 72.0 mm (4.1 x 2.8 inches) with a 11.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the V-Rod Muscle measures 307.1 kg (677 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 650 mm (25.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,702 mm (67 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.93-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.36 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 298 km (185 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 224 km/h (139 mph).
