Harley Davidson VRSCAW/A V-Rod 105th Anniversary Edition (2008)

Harley Davidson VRSCAW/A V-Rod 105th Anniversary Edition (2008)

The 2008 VRSCAW/A V-Rod 105th Anniversary Edition marks a new era for Harley-Davidson’s high-performance power cruiser.

At its heart lies the powerful 1250cc liquid-cooled Revolution V-Twin engine, delivering 121 peak horsepower and 84 ft.-lbs. of torque to the massive 240 mm rear tire. The increased bore size and revised camshaft design result in a more aggressive engine character, perfect for carving up twisties or cruising down the highway.

The riding experience is further elevated by the addition of forward controls and a pull-back welded handlebar, providing an optimal riding position for both comfort and control. The new Brushed Aluminum Profile Laced front wheel adds to the bike’s distinctive style, while the optional Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) provides unparalleled stopping power in emergency situations.

The VRSCAW/A V-Rod 105th Anniversary Edition is a masterclass in performance and design, offering riders an unforgettable experience that embodies the essence of Harley-Davidson’s 105-year legacy.
