Styled for performance-minded enthusiasts who like a blacked-out, no-hassle ride, the Night Rod Special model takes the VRSC family on a sinister trip down a dark alley. It features black wheels, black frame, black fork lowers, triple clamps, swingarm, racing stripes on the airbox cover and a color-matched speed screen visor. What makes it a true member of the VRSC family are things like the aggressive, drag-inspired riding position, the amazing power of the Revolution engine and the distinctive sound and feel that only Harley-Davidson can provide.
