2012 Harley Davidson VRSCDX Night Rod Special – Motorbike Bicycle
Rolling out from a recently flooded garage, Harley’s 2012 VRSCDX Night Rod Special turned over with the push of a button. Zero fat. Lean muscle. Long and strong. Engineered and designed with the help of Porsche, the Night Rod is the newest model in Harley’s recent line of blacked-out custom bikes, which are meant for the outlaw in all of us. The Night Rod Special is a great hot rod of a bike, a boulevard cruiser with big balls. Harley-Davidson is an American success story. The Night Rod Special is a custom variation of the V-Rod series that brought a more modern and aggressive street style plus a number of technological advances to the brand. The unique feature of the V-Rod series though is the “exo-frame” which wraps around the tank and engine like no other Harley. To manufacture the sensuous curves that the designers wanted Harley-Davidson turned to the use of hydroforming where the frame tubes are created in a mould using 60,000 psi of pressure.
