There is no more VRSCB. The difference in price between the VRSCA and the others, I would think, is mainly in the chrome and silver leafed powder frame on the VRSCA. If these don't mean anything to you, and you are cool with the mid-mounts and higher seat on the street-rod, I would definitely go for it. That 5 gallon tank is a make-or-break item in my mind for many. The night-rod, which is the coolest (IMO), is the cheapest of all, and comes with minimal chrome, but the less-desireable 3.7 gallon fuel cell.molan said:I keep seeing Street Rods retailing at prices way below VRSCA's & B's.
Just wondered why they are so much cheaper?
I know this is pretty dull but the increased fuel cell size alone would be a strong reason for me to prefer the Street to other models
I am told by Harley people that more V-Rods are sold in Europe than in the U.S. Since the V-Rod appears to attract a lot of new riders, I'm sure that some of them regret the purchase. Both things would probably lead to some of them getting back on the market. As is usually the case, used Harleys tend to be very good buys, and I'm sure this would apply even more certainly to the V-Rod. On the other hand, the V-Rod also attracts a lot of people who ride more on the edge than regular Harleys, and this is probably even more true of the Street Rod, since it has better clearance. Bottom line is that a used V-Rod could well be a great purchase, but particular care should be exercised in evaluating the specific bike, as they have the potential for being mis-used.molan said:For some reason the used prices of Street Rods are definitely "softer" - new retail is exactly ?1,000 less but on the used market they seem to be closer to ?2,000 less.
In fact I've seen the odd Street Rod going for nearly ?3,000 less than an equivalent VRSCA! Always in Yellow tho - maybe it's the colour - lol.
The tank range would make a huge difference to me. Not that fussed about mid mount pegs vs forwards & seat height is fine too
