VRSCA V-Rod

2003 Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-Rod Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Harley-Davidson for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2003 Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-Rod relies on a 1130 cc (69 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 105 Nm (77.4 lb-ft) at 6,600 rpm. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 100.0 x 72.0 mm (3.9 x 2.8 inches) with a 11.3:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the VRSCA V-Rod measures 285 kg (628 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 660 mm (26 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,710 mm (67.3 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
