Positioned in Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Harley-Davidson VRSCF V-Rod Muscle relies on a 1250 cc (76.3 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 117 Nm (86.3 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. 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 VRSCF V-Rod Muscle measures 290.3 kg (640 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 678 mm (26.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,700 mm (66.9 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.9-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
