Did you ever read the online reviews on the V Rod? Everybody and I mean EVERYBODY that owns the V Rod HATES IT
The Suzuki SV1000 is faster, both in acceleration and top speed, but the BIG difference when you're going 130 mph on the SV1000 it will feel like your floating on air, when you go that same speed on a V Rod it will feel scary like the bike is vibrating apart and will not hold a strait line on the road!
