The VR1000 was the little brother of the V-Rod, after the 500/750 Wee-Rod and now the Sport-Rod.
Nothing new at the Moco.

Interesting read
So that's how the v rod started. I had heard the Porsche bit but this fills it more out

I had close contact with the VR, Miguel was at the Black Bear lodge in Waterville and show it at the Quebecers gang at the hotel in 1994.
