If you have an extra $59,950.00 laying around, you can buy a VR1000 Factory H-D Superbike listed on www.ahrma.org (webmart) this month. Very Cool! :D

That's about what they go for.

Try looking a little harder - they even made a VERY limited run of street legal versions!

Or buy a V-ROD Destroyer AND a Buell XBRR for the same price.
(About time they put the Vrod in something useful.)

Dakin,
Are you trying to say the V-rod engine is in the Buell XBRR?

I was thinking he might have been thinking that too...

I hope that isn't what he is saying. The XBRR does not have a V-rod engine in any way, shape or form.

I think he's saying the V-Rod Destroyer (Factory V-Rod Drag Bike) is finally a useful application of the V-Rod platform.

I saw one of those at the dealer a few years ago.
It was not legal in North America.:frownthre

No, No, No. I meant both are about $30k (I hear).

And neither are in my future.

The bike that was for sale was a factory superbike racer from the aborted H-D VR roadrace project. Not even close to street legal. There were some VR street bikes built, so they could get the VR approved for competition.

You could probably ride it on the street, at least in an LA live vehicle pursuit on Fox News. If they caught you, your driver's license would just be a painful memory!:banana

Later,

Because of the AMA rules, all Superbikes had to be street legal based, the bikes the official HD used were imported back from Poland for that purpose.

50 were made and sent to Poland where lax emission rules allowed them to be street legal, the factory then imported them back for the race team.

The current AMA superbikes are the same, none are street legal, but they all started that way from the factory.

Hell that would sure get the attention of the rice rocket riders!!! how long till Buell finally puts the Revolution into a proper sportbike frame?

Unfortunatly, the VR1000 was not very "super" hence H-Ds quick exit from superbike racing.

Actually according to some articles I read about the street bikes. It would have made a very good streetbike. Just when you put it on a racetrack with stripped down horsepowered out inline 4s it sucked.
