I would presume the V-rod must escape your perception of "performance" then?
How we define "performance" (power/weight, 1/4 mile, 0-60, handling, braking, fuel economy, etc) kind of shapes the topic, does it not? And how we apply those criteria also has effect; are we talking "in class" or "overall"?
I would agree that many of the HD offerings are a bit lackluster contrasted to hyperformance Aisan bikes, but the V-rod is every bit on par with the likes of other competitor offerings in it's class.
