At the heart of the 2006 Harley-Davidson VRSCSE Screamin Eagle V-Rod custom - cruiser motorcycle, Harley-Davidson features a 1179.9 cc (72 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 123 HP (89.8 kW) while maximum torque reaches 116.6 Nm (86 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 104.2 HP per liter, 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 VRSCSE Screamin Eagle V-Rod measures 308 kg (679 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.4 HP/kg (2.5 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 1,699 mm (66.9 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.
