VRSCB V-Rod

2004 Harley-Davidson VRSCB V-Rod Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2004 Harley-Davidson VRSCB V-Rod features a 1131 cc (69 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 115 HP (83.9 kW) at 8,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 105 Nm (77.4 lb-ft) at 6,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 101.7 HP per liter and a 1,650 rpm working window between peak torque (6,600 rpm) and peak power (8,250 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the VRSCB V-Rod measures 280 kg (617 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.41 HP/kg (2.43 kg per horsepower). 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 paired with a rated consumption of 17 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 82 km (51 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 219 km/h (136 mph).
