Harley Davidson VRSCDX Night Rod Special (2007 – 2008)

Harley Davidson VRSCDX Night Rod Special (2007 - 2008)

The Harley-Davidson VRSCDX Night Rod Special is a dark horse in the power cruiser segment, boasting an all-black finished 1130cc Revolution powertrain that pumps out 120 horsepower and 80 ft-lbs of torque.

This menacing machine features blacked-out components, including the frame, forks, triple clamps, swing arm, and wheels with orange pin-striping, setting it apart from its brethren. The liquid-cooled Revolution V-Twin engine is a beast, unleashing its fury at 8250 rpm to deliver an unforgettable riding experience.

Riding the Night Rod Special is like strapping yourself into a high-performance machine, with forward controls and drag-style handlebars providing a comfortable perch for aggressive maneuvering. Whether carving through twisties or cruising down the highway, this bike demands attention – and delivers it in spades. It’s a rebellious attitude on wheels, pure and simple.
