Built around Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2007 Harley-Davidson VRSCX V-Rod relies on a 1247 cc (76.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, 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. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 104.9 x 72.1 mm (4.1 x 2.8 inches) with a 11.3:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the VRSCX V-Rod measures 303.9 kg (670 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 688 mm (27.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,707 mm (67.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.92-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.33 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 355 km (221 miles) between fill-ups.
