  • also the vtx only has about 106 hp

  • V-Rod sucks

  • We love Harley-Davidson

  • "The v-rod engine makes an aweful lot of horsepower"... Compared to what? A vespa? A zx14 puts out a lot of horsepower. A V-Rod puts out average power compaired to a vtx, stratoliner, or a cbr 600.

  • @pwshadow a lot compared to any other harley most are 60 to 65 hp vrod is 120 to 130

  • brub brub brub brub brub.....southpark is fucking awesome!

  • This is a great video. NG always does a great job. Thanks for sharing.

  • น่าตื่นเต้นจริงๆๆฮาเล่คันงามปร­ะกอบจากมือล้วนๆๆ

  • The VRod is my favorite bike from harley, But the true bike that has really caught my eye is the VRF 1200.

  • OORAH HARLEY!

    Not a huge fan of the V-Rod but still, Harley is Harley.

    I laugh at the Rice Burning Crotch rockets, they whine all the way down Main street, while Harleys Roar and Thunder by.

    I don't like speed, I could care less if a CR can beat me on the strip. I'd rather lean back relaxed and enjoy the country side as opposed to hunched over uncomfortably looking like I'm about to take one in the ass... lol

    but, in the end... its all personal pref. ALL RIDERS, Be safe and Have fun.

  • @PBSnakeSFA

    if NORMAL bike riders look like they're "taking it up the ass"

    Hpee riders look like they're laying on their back like a Saturday night whore with her legs up in the air.

    So is your pimp Mr. Harley Davidson himself or did he sell you off to one of the dealership owners?

  • @japanowner Really? so you want to sit back and start a flame war on the internet. Read my whole comment douche bag. Its all personal preference and I don't care who rides what. Besides, since then I've been more accustomed to Sport Bikes and have gained new respect for them... seing as they are a pain in the ass to work on at times. lol. Just chill and ride the road bro, carry on.

  • I wanna work there.

  • HARLEYS ARE FOR FAGS (south park)

  • @Bamchucknorris southparks for fags

  • Harley Davidson. Motorcycle leather jackets are available at A1 Leather Shop .com.

    Free wolrd wide shipping

  • Tractor factory

  • @CrudeDude... and proud of it!

  • @CrudeDude tupperware torpedos blow

  • @cuda540ify Yeah they "blow". They blow right by the slow, loud, ill-handling Hardley tractors.

  • @cuda540ify

    Why are you on the internet in the first place, shouldn't you be out in the garage "buffin you rod"?

    The tiny one between your mothers legs.

  • @japanowner japtool it sounds like you should take your" little jap rod out of yer moms ass"

  • harleys= overpriced underpowered outdated shit

    you take a 1980s ultra classic and a brand new ultra classic, put them side by side and see if yyou can tell thedifferernce between the two. harley didnt even have a liquid cooled motor until 2003 and the motor was made by porsche. harleys are just a sick joke.

  • @spaceballs004 you are a fukin joke

  • @cuda540ify you just havent seen the light yet my friend one day you will realize that harleys are just pos.

  • @spaceballs004 sorry but i dont think that day will come ,had all sorts of bikes,and the new harleys are the ticket.!!woteva floats ya boat

  • @spaceballs004 Who wants a liquid cooled motor? More mass to drag around!...( harley is heavy enough as it is) I Like Harley, and i own one, but the V-rod is just the Harley way of testing the path of the dark side.. ( looks like an over powered scooter) they wil come around and prove themself a Harley Jedi in the end And make the stuff we love: Heavy,beautifull,slow(no rush to die showing off) and with a soul ;o)

  • @spaceballs004 thats why you only see the older crowd on them cuz yer too young and stupid to tell the difference ...its not just a bike dumbass its a lifestyle....i would ride any time with a harley brother than any crotch rocketeer ...........scrape you off the road some day .......too young too know better

  • Download Free Motorbike Manuals Here,

  • Estoy entre esta y el modelo antiguo! Que lujazo de motocicleta.

  • i want to work in that factory....reminds me of my teenage years....i love the roars of its engine....

  • mate i love harleys they're so gnarly

  • Fillin`her up is half of the fun, yep.

  • Do not Pay for Motorcycle Manuals. DOWNLOAD THEM FREE - ** freemotorcyclemanuals (dot) net **

  • Sorry, but it looks like a Yamaha VMAX!

  • @patrickjanicke v,max =bad copy,harleys the original,what other motor cycles 107 yrs old ???????

  • @cuda540ify Well Indian motorcycles older.

  • @crazzzyjuggalo yes but indian is out of production

  • @crazzzyjuggalo what did they build from 1940 -1990???

  • powered by Porsche..

  • I guess it is funny that some people simply cannot understand that it NEVER will need a state of the art technology to compete with other bike makes. It is a even funnier fact that Harley riders can appreciate rice cookers but not vice versa. Is this what people often badmouth about HD elitism? Tsk tsk tsk

  • Sorry if my comment is a little gargled, bloody limits on posting dont help trying to get a point across.

  • if you want to be technicalNorton is a French, Triumph is a German, Harley Davidson is British,correct me if i'm wrong, Norton was started by a Frenchmen who moved to the UK, Triumph by a German immigrant to the UK and Harley Davidson was started by sons of English and Scottish immigrants to America. Harley is an American motorcycle company as the parent company is there, designed and built in American,manifacturers including Japaness motorcycle companies buy parts from all around the world .

  • faggot

  • I am a young man of Columbian descent, not an old white man. I have seen more than my fair share of Harleys through my so far short life, probobly because I live in the Milwaukee area. Now every year there is a mass migration of Harley owners to Milwaukee, and frankly there is nothing like the sound of a Harley on a cool summer night, it's rather soothing. Whereas with sportsbikes all you do is end up covering your ears from the sharp noise they make. If I ever get a motorcycle, it'llbea Harley.

  • Right on ! If I ever get a tractor it'll be a Hardley!

  • @DEATHBYFLYINGCDS Really? A Harley is nothing but a noisy poser bike. I mean let me put the insults aside and ask you a question, straight up.

    How does it feel getting smoked by bikes like my gixxer? On the drag strip? On the twisties? Is that really all you ride for, to be flashy, shiny and loud?

  • @razorflown Somone who rides a gixxer, saying that somone else likes motorcycles just because they're flashy and loud? I think you should be asking yourself those questions, because last I checked, gixxers beat Harley's in both of those departments. Harley produced motorcycles long before Suzuki, and they only became big after making bikes for the war efforts of both WWI and WWII, so if you want to call a bike a poseur, look to your own.

  • @razorflown I'm not a fan of the airhead harlyes by no means(but i am a fan of the VRod). I ride a Honda v65 magna, but to answer your question it's not all about the horsepower. sure i love to have the power to make those quick 100mph sprints but i like to cruise along at a relaxing 50mph and enjoy the ride. it's not all about acceleration or knee scraping.

  • @RosieKR Ya, my dad has a Harley. Its not about the Harley name, it's about all these morons that run around thinking their bike is the fastest thing on the planet, and metric bikes are 'shit' etc etc. Being loud and obnoxious and running around thinking your Harley is the best and everyone else is riding crap. "get a real bike". It's these people I despise. So youve got a Harley, cool, lets go ride I say, but dont walk up to me and tell me I need to get a real bike, or any of that other crap.

  • @razorflown i shouldn't have said airheads because metric riders are guilty of it, too. but the rediculously loud exhaust, rob halford outfits, and the attitude are just a joke. harley makes some nice bikes, no doubt. and i have nothing against people that buy them to ride. i do, however, think they're way overpriced compared to what you get with the competition.

  • @DEATHBYFLYINGCDS funny. i love the sound of a sportbike, makes me think of a ferarri. now the airhead harleys with loud as fucking exhaust, those are the ones that'll make you go deaf.

  • @DEATHBYFLYINGCDS *Colombian

  • @soulja90 fuck gay lambos, knackers , euro puss.we dont give a toss about those HAHAA

  • if I worked at the factory, I'd smuggle out 1 or 2 motors and build my own harley at home ! xD

  • bwabbwabbwab FAGS

  • Where's the rest of the programme? I'd like to see it...

  • Comment removed

  • seems alot of people here have been watching south park.

  • Sort of sad that H-D continually plays the patriot card.Viewed in that context, it is shameful how much offshore content these "American LEGENDS" are built from.

    Notice I DID NOT say "Made in the USA" . (The FTC caught on and prohibited H-D from that claim).

    Harley has grown from a real American bike-- to a brand which largely relies on nostalgia and blind loyalty to stay alive. WISH they would hire a few forward thinking engineers who would give this marque something they sorely NEED.

  • I think you misunderstood my statement-- DON'T try to sell ME a H-D based on some FALSE CLAIM they are 100% USA built bikes-- because they really aren't.

    Are modern Harleys well built? Absolutely. VERY nicely made, great finish and detail. Torquey engines, fun to ride-- greatly overpriced on performance vs price though.

    Is the engineering World Class?

    Again, I would say NO. Even the much hyped Vrod engine in this video is a dinosaur on the world stage.

    H-D needs new blood to compete.

  • Angela is a hot MILF

  • I'm a harley davidson fan I love riding these bikes even though I don't have a license.not afraid of getting caught

  • Comment removed

  • Haha, that show was funny. I like loud bikes, though.

  • "Fag - n. 1. an inconsiderate or obnoxious person, usually driving a Harley."

  • OK i'm not going to call anyone a fag because some cartoon told me to, but really, don't say loud bikes are needed for road safety when the real reason is to attract attention and be a bad-ass.

    Statistics show no increase in accident rates for rice-rocket jocks.

  • @Miketar2424 Ya, because rice rocket jocks are the only ones with the balls to take risks these days. All the badass Harley riders from the 40s-70s are either dead or ride rice rockets. No one in their right mind would ride a Harley. It's slower and cant stop or turn as fast. Tell me, which one of these American things doesnt belong? SR-71 - corvette - motocross - jet boat - Harley - Saturn V (hint: one of them is the SLOWEST of is kind)

  • To all you sport bikers out there:

    You have your place on the road. Enjoy it. HD riders have a culture and a philosophy that bonds them. It has nothing to do with speed. We just love the freedom that a HD brings, knowing that we can fix anything that goes wrong with them with the tools we are carrying.

    Please don't be jealous... Just enjoy your ride and be proud of it - don't down us HD riders.

  • @JumpyCamelSpider fix anything that goes wrong. most of my friends have to take their bikes to the harley dealer to get the oil change. and thats at $318.00 a pop. and to be honest with my friends its not about the freedom on the road, its about how much money they spend on there costume to look like a biker. oh yeah lets not forget about the dolls on the back of the bike. that is just stupid.

  • @drod103164 you would have to be a dumb cunt if you couldnt change harley oil.i dont know anyone who takes them to dealers LOL

  • @cuda540ify a dumb cunt. so you know my friends. they don't fix anything on there bikes. one thing they are good at is loading there bikes on the back of a trailer for a road trip. and mounting there dolls on the back of the bike.

  • HD is slow pig, WWII technology. Their best engine v-rod is designed by Porsche.

  • WWI! Hog riders don't want performance anyway - they're just profilers.

  • We don't ride Harleys to go fast and put other people on the road in danger, fuck tard

  • Yeah, you ride Harley to go slow, LMAO.

  • No, I ride at reasonable speed. i don't have any need to go 200 mph. I sit back and enjoy the ride, I'm not racing to get anywhere. Can't tell you how many crotch rocket riders died this summer in my area alone just because they were being fuckin idiots. So if that's worth your life, then good luck to you

  • @niurou theyre if you work them theyre fast too.but who gives a fuck if a tupperware torpedo can beat it by a second!

  • i hate that they went from straight cut gears to helicut gears on transmission. just to cut down the noise. whats worse for the EPA that a motorcycle make a few decibles louder or that yuppies buy the bike and the trans go out and there is a new bike that no one wants.

  • Harley does have a patent pertaining to the v twin. But it's not for the vtwin.

  • I'm an HD lover but I also have sportbikes

    Some guy thinks his vrod will beat a hayabusa. Lay off the crackpipe. My stock buss ran a 10 flat in the quarter. Bone stock with 160 at the rear wheel. Like I said I love HD but don't ever think you can beat a buss with a stock Harley. Just won't happen. Busa held the record for fastest production bike ever made. The origionals did 225

  • which guy?

    btw an SR71 can beat your fastest bike, better get one soon...

  • To which his own. I love all bikes, but I do not prefer HD.

  • So why is it that Harley's are the most sought after motorcycles...IN JAPAN?

  • really? May be it's not popular so it's hard to find one over there. Otherwise, why woudn't HD export them to Japan?

  • They do damb ass.

  • So are you saying that HD is popular in Japan? By asking "why wouldn't HD export" does not mean that they don't export, it just means that they're not selling well. You should try to think a little bit before posting things like "They do damb ass". Idiots like you on YouTube is just a waste of bandwidth.

  • the Japanese love harley's

  • wow a whole profile just for that...

  • which japanese 1130cc v-twins put out out 100+ hp?

  • you must be talking about that german made porshe motor that hardly stamps as american design and made.

  • harley's are the bike that refused to advance with time, the design of a harley was respectable in the 30's 40's and 50's and considered fast and modern etc, the same with the british bikes and the jap but while they kept advancing their bikes and improving the design harley stayed in a stubborn time warp. I mean you dont see triumph only make bonnies and that do you

  • I so tired of Harleys, they suck. they have horrible timing because it sounds cool, and now just got to water cooling and overhead cams, wow took them long enough. they're so behind the times that a couple of years ago they're were like "oh we just stated putting a sixth gear in our bikes aren't we special"

  • caseygtr is a broke dick fag'

  • GOOD!!!

  • "Harleys are the bike that every jap motorcycle tries to copy..... " What, like GSXR1000, Fireblades, R1's?

    Can someone answer me this: What is the appeal of a bike that cannot corner?

    I know not everyone wants to tool round like a looney all the time (I did LOL) but would n't it be nice to at least have the option?

    BTW how do these thing brake compared with a Jap bike?

  • they corner badly,but mainly designed for touring/cruising and long range riding. they dont get thrown around corners,you'd just crash. they brake like big trucks that use air to stop,but you need to love the bike your on,not what others think of it. i ride a rsvr1000 and have an r6 and fatbob,love them all for different things,some people are just stupid and make stupid comments about things they dont really understand

  • It's not that they corner badly, it's that they cannot corner at all. Plenty of touring bikes can corner. Harleys could corner with a little development but that would take funds from the marketing dept.

  • Harleys corner just fine, well the sportster does, and the new XR1200 looks to be even better then the XL models. but you're correct concerning the big 'cool' models.

    i wish i had an XR1200

  • what gives the H-D its nose, whats makes it rumble like that??

  • Engineering marvel of the modern era. Only two types of riders, those that ride HD and those that wish? Superbike champion, Ducati, Supersport: Honda. AMA Super: Honda. 500 Moto GP Yamaha. World Chrome Championship: Harley. Annoy the world loud pipe champion. Harley.

  • fallenwarriorX1X, dont pay any attention to the harley haters I have had harleys for over 30 years, and I have never had any complaints, and I ride all the time. The world has two types of people, those that ride harleys, and those that wish they did! Harleys are the bike that every jap motorcycle tries to copy.....

  • yep Harley is best fuck the REST!

    fags ride ricers' fags buy ricers'

    just a bunch of goofy ass retards

    on ricers'

  • Did you research sport bike divers? did you by any chance go to Japanese bike dealer ships and asked them what sexual orientation the owners were? did the data show there were a majority of gay sport bike owners? did you even do a comprehensive test of different bikes and come to the conclusion that harley was the best? what! you didn't do any of those things? so your saying your just opinionated asshole who's point of view is completely bias and non-fact based? who knew?!

  • you really make gay statements !

  • Very true.

  • At first, I admit, there is the overall impression that firstwave2 is just an ordinary, overtly bigoted homophobe. But the third line (wherein he begins to expound on the "goofy ass retards") has an unmistakeable aire of authenticity and integrity about it...

  • you make no sence

  • Awesome video, Harleys have came a long way!

    5 stars

  • im a harley technician and all you motorcyclist that dont know a thing about motorcycles should just break their fingers so i dont have to read such garbage on you tube. even though i only work on HD's i coinsider all bikes a work of skilled engineering and fine art. dont ever disrespect any bike cause i can fine tune any bike that'll make you wish that you hadn't spent thousands on performance parts. shoot i can tune a 883 to run 11.6 on a quarter

  • 883 1/4 in 11.6 I see dollar signs

  • no not really just tools. reshape the slide in carb. reface the valve seat. set a leaner tune up opperations. change the trail. reduce spring tention on carb. and many other tricks that doesn't take nuch

  • damn makes me want a 883 sporty you can find them all day long for around 45K but if you do a brand new one with fuel injection will it be that hard to get it in the 11's

  • captain150 I do not pay much attention to smaller sportbikes like a 600, I have never seen one with many miles on it. Usually most people I know get rid of them after a short time. If they keep them long they lose all their resale value. Personally I dont care for bikes that sound like a chain saw or that need to turn 15 grand to get to the power band. I am not in my 20s anymore....

  • see im only 16 and cant ride a bike yet but i agree with you if your gona do it do it right and get a real bike that does the job properly

  • you dont know how to ride a bike??!! i learned to ride a bicycle when i was like 3 or 4

  • hears to all those sport bike riding harley hating retards out there ok if u hate harleys so much why do u go on youtube and watch harley videos u assholes

  • Harley drivers are the real posers.

  • tobin55, overpriced? You get what you pay for! How much resale value does a 20 year old rice grinder have? They are cool if all you want to do is go fast for a short time. Harleys are built like trucks, strong and rebuildable like a big rig, not like a bic lighter that you throw away....

  • A modern 600cc sportbike will easily run for over 100,000 miles if it's taken care of. And by taken care of, I mean maintained. Those engines will rev to 15 grand all day long without trouble. The engines are also just as rebuildable as a Harley engine.

    Obviously the markets for an R6 and a Harley are totally different, but you can't argue with the fact that the performance you get in a sportbike is a great value.
