Step 2 of Harley ownership: Take it to the Tail of the Dragon and proceed to ride 7mph and never let anyone pass. EVER.
JAX This is so true
Hey my dog.
Do It With Dan Sorry about that crap in the kitchen. You spooked me... 🐕💩
dan hi
i would like to see you with that harley and get some mods to make even more power
"I ride a real bike a Harley Davidson" Like and comment if you remember that Do It With Dan episode
OutdoorsWithTurners could you tell me the name off the episode please?
its the one where he got pulled over for the muffs being to loud. He was on the sharpie bike.
Rhabbys Hawkmoon yeah I remember that like it was yesterday f****** cops were just giving him a hard time
He was bragging to the cops, said something like "I used to own a Harley I built"
I miss his sharpie bike:(
Notice how almost everybody in the comment section is hating on Harley's but 90% of them don't even own a motorcycle.
Lol
Itz Morshay su
Itz Morshay or the people suggesting bikes they have never ridden or know nothing about.... "get a Ducati diavel, Harleys are too expensive!"... uh.. what?
Itz Morshay I got a bicycle.
Fact check your shit
Harleys look gay as fuck. I dont own a motorcycle true and if I did, would never own a gay looking harley. Its like lets go ride on a lazy chair
That left side mirror has all kinds of floppy action going on.
junnutube ikr, it's worse than my dick and I thought that was bad.
junnutube All kinds. :)
ayyyy.... FUK OUTTA WHEY
well it's a Harley sooooo
the xdiavel, vmax, and suzuki boss m109 all do that as well it's almost like the welds weren't checked.
Im i the only one that like Harley / chopper and custom bobbers ? :S
damian noort yes
building a bobber now man.... you are not alone in this world lol
Colin Mceachern hell Yeah ! Haha idk why tho but there is Some hate towards cruisers / harleys lol
damian noort don't like bikes where the forks have been extended, either upwards or outwards
yeah. im currently doing a 81 Yamaha maxim 650. I do have a channel, and there will be vids of the build. but i am not about to promote out of respect for Dan
I like how on this bike you can see Dan's helmet 90% of the the time and imagine the gay grin on his fat lesbian face. #roastdan
Just a Bat. Fuckin crying. 😂
Just a Bat Seems you're a bit of a homophobe
ferretgirl013 Nope, not afraid of gays, DoItWithDickhead videos aren't horror movies for me.
Oh, just rude then lol
Dang 800k subscribers I remember 20k subscribers
I think I arrived at around 120k, not the same achievement haha but still cool to be part of the earlier subs
i remember 6k subscribers but that was only a couple weeks before 20k lmao
i rember 200 subscribers ... 1 month later he was at 10 k
ikr, I started watching around 16k
Moto JP I remember 1000k subs
I hope u see this Dan but I'm 17 and idk how I came across you Chanel but for the last 3 weeks I have watched motorcycle videos none stop lol I love these so much I'm actually taking the money I get from my tax return and gonna get my self a bike idk what kind or any details something cheap just a starter bike but I'm determined to get a bike. Thank you so much!
that 5'8 life is rough
being 6'4 isnt great either
@@kkk-ff5th Quit lying....
I love my V-Rod. Mine's got saddlebags, detachable touring windshield, and is comfortable enough for a long road trip. The last two models were the V-Rod Muscle and Night Rod Special. While those are cool, I like the earlier V-Rods best. Cool video dude.
You need to try a Triumph, dude. Speed Triple or a Bonneville
Henry Kincaid Rocket III
Brett Wolff Rocket 3 Turbo... 😍
Henry Kincaid or the victory. But all are sexy😍
Just took delivery of mine today after years of looking for the right bike. So happy with it, and this is the first of your videos I'm watching, so I hope you got one for yourself.2009 silver v rod muscle is what I bought, and love it.
Either dan makes a fuck ton of money or he's in a shit ton of debt
Lord Dalron why?
MoppyMo to be fair here the magna isn't a bank breaker. And the Kawasaki he bought used. I also believe the Vette was used. He's not rich, but he's smart with his money. You can tell.
Seth Fjeldheim I don't get the impression that he's very smart with his money. I'm not trying to be an ass
Lord Dalron I love Dan but i wouldn't say he's particularly smart with his money. Most guys that are drive a prius and wear white sketchers lol
But their job is not to be popular tho... so in a way, buying exotic cars and bikes is being smart with his money
I just got my first Harley this January, dude they are so worth it! My last bike was a Honda Magna I love that bike a lot but the Harley... the power and sound no other feeling like it in the world😎😎
Wheelie it
Love Lindvall Brundin LeeStuart38 could teach him a thing or two ;)
Pleeeeeeeaaaasssse buy a v-rod, I think you've just made me fall in love with that bike now!
Alright, time to unsubscribe
LeanderRandom. y?
lol
bitch
Lol wtf
LeanderRandom exactly my thoughts!! Hahahaha
I can tell you from first hand experience the vrod loves tail of the dragon . Went up with family 2-3 years ago and I had the biggest smile on my face after that run , It handles the corners great!
Hey dan. I've been watching you for a while and ive always wanted a bike but have never been allowed to get one. Ive always just spent my tax refunds on car upgrades for my Subaru Brz. Well finally im getting my first bike in 2 weeks.
Its a 2005 Yamaha Fz-1. Its in bright blue to match my car. I wanna thank you for being an inspiration on youtube. -Tim
You still alive?😂
The guy I bought my vrod from was short and he had a lowered seat and closer pegs, it feels so different and it a lot more comfortable, you'd love it dan. Plus you can supercharge it for about 1000. I've done that and lowered it in the front and it's been amazing
This Harley *fixes mirror* is so quick *fixes mirror*... hold on let me fix this mirror
What a great branching out video, you did yourself and the motorcycle community a service by judging the product on its merits rather than it's loundmouths. Thank you for that. Great video!
You should ride a Yamaha Vmax dan if you think this Vrod is quick. I have a 2004 Vmax and have raced a couple of the Vrods and always gapped them.
peppy3200 Vmax the O.G. muscle bike. 👍
Tat2Dragons agreed
peppy3200 I have an 04 VMAX and that bike is the shit
I got a vrod but I love those Vmax. Sexy beast. :)
Marshall West then u know what I'm talking about.
I actually own the original 2002 model V-rod and I ride blood mountain every weekend. Thing corners like a dream if you arent afraid to scrape a little bit.
If you want to try another Harley you should try a Harley Dyna Super Glide Sport
HIGHVOLTAGE 3834 yes
Truly glad you're broadening your horizons. I like all kinds of bikes but cruisers are my favorite and I'm glad to see you're havin' a good time on a harley.
Please, buy a Harley Davidson Night-rod.
Shift_000 yes!!!!!
Do itttt! Buy a real bikeee!!!
Nathan Hindley No 🙃
Kacey Smith wooooow you are not our normal type of stupid. You are advanced stupid.
I agree, he should get a Ducati Panigale!
Ducatis are less reliable than HD and KTM.
+Fire Bunny He could always get a Ducati Hypermotard so that he can walk it everywhere and get stranded.
It's a REEEEEEEAAL BIKE.
Great name Mobius One any idea when Ace combat 7 is due to come out?
joshua holmes A release date should announced soon. All I can tell you is it's coming out this year.
Mobius One wrong
Mobius One
I might just get a ps4 for it
Dalton Missey
Wrong what CONTEXT IT IS IMPORTANT
Glad you enjoyed it Dan! just bought one with the same pipes with a tuner and screaming eagle headers , and also have a 1988 magna super , 1-80mph it kinda keeps up , but after that , no where near it at top end!
This Is How Many Times He Fixed His Left Mirror
👇
I've just recently gotten hooked on bikes. I'll be purchasing a 250cc after christmas to learn on. I don't hate bike brands. A bike is a bike. Harley or Honda, there's so much variety and there's a bit of something to cater for everybody! :)
Technically a VROD isn't a Harley. Since the motor was made by Porsche (I believe).
HEROrr you're right
Porsche only help get the design rigght like they did for BMW Harley made the engine themselves.
HEROrr porche designed it but didn't make the engine
MOTOHAX: I think you're technically correct. There's some info here: autoweek.com/article/car-news/v-rod-revolution-engine-porsche-and-harley-make-air-and-water-mix There's also a documentary on you tube called Birth of the V-Rod that explains more about the bike.
*****
Porsche helped design the engine that went into the vrod by doing like you said the reswt was all Harley. It was also the last decent bike Willie G designed
It's really nice to hear good things about Harleys from a sport bike guy. Unfortunately their discontinuing the V-rod and muscle models but if you want to ride a stupid fast cruiser check out the Yamaha V-max you won't be disappointed.
you should buy my Rocket dude, you know you love it, even if you are a little small for it :D
evo you're selling the rocket? why?
i don't really ride it enough, and could also do with the cash :/
Welcome to the vrod world! Mines riding on arnotts and 250 wide avon tires.
Night Rod Special's look better too, and a little lighter since the exhaust is on one side. Love my NRS. I would never sell it, just need a sport bike now.
If anyone can make a Harley badass it's going to be Dan.
Jay DM or an engine developed by porsche
False, its Unknown Industries
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! I ride a Night-Rod special I'm in mad love with it and you're right about it being intoxicating to ride, I've gone 125 on mine and that's it so far.
You need mid controls not forward controls. what you have there are just an option
Got mid controls on my night rod. Tons better. Hated riding the v rod with normal controls. I have an older model with a smaller back tire that makes it sooo much more flikable then the fat wheel ones. Just me.
ghostanime84 I have forward controls on my sportster but I have long legs and like the lean. never been on a sport bike before
Also, a lot of people flip the peg assembly in the front and that brings it in a couple of inches.
You can throw a mid-control set on it and bring your feet down to dirtbike type position.
U cant go wrong with a harley get it brutha u wont have any regrets dont think to much about it JUST DO IT!!..👍👍
Gas L No
I'm no harley guy, but I test rode a 1200 Sportster 48 and absolutely loved it. big far front tire and it would lean over like a sport bike. surprisingly fast too.
Hey Dan, where is hailey? when will she and her family be back in your vlogs?
cameron nugent *GASP*
cameron nugent I think they broke up.
I hope not, she seemed cool
cameron nugent yeah they did break up someone asked her in Instagram if she and Dan were still together and she replied with no. Her Instagram is "TheSithChick".
I test rode a Night Rod two days ago and was blown away by it! Fun bike, for sure! It is quite different from my Heritage...love it! 👍👍
you need to try a triumph thunderbird storm, that thing will rip ur arms off
I had a '84 V65 Magna and on the road the VROD was not able to pull away from me. We let out around 130/140. I love both of these motorcycles for different reasons!
May as well buy a Gixxer while your at it..... go ahead and buy the accessory kit with it. You know sandals, tank top, bandana...ect.
Jay Brodizaffa gsx-R*
Jay Brodizaffa funny but where I live it's the r6 to be the douche bike not the gsxr
@BucketOfCandy gixxer*
BucketOfCandy 05 suzuki actually made a Gixxer. I hate that name... People pronounce gsx-r as a gixxer is okay, but that "Gixxer" name on a bike is just dumb..
I have a B model V-Rod and I love it. I also have a sport bike, so it's not the be-all end-all bike for me. In that scenario, the V-Rod works well. It's comfortable as hell and it revs out like my Super Hawk. It's definitely a fun bike for a cruiser. You get a lot of hate from people that have never ridden one, but that's on them. All bikes have their place.
FYI, I also had the old V-65 Magna, and I think it would've walked the V-Rod because it was a lot lighter. It was ugly as sin, though, so that was the down side there. I've never ridden one of the second-gen Magnas, but I think they don't have the displacement to hang with a V-Rod.
Thanks for making this. They quit making the V-Rod this year (low sales), so it's nice to see you give one some love.
Two words “Mid Controls”. Just wait until you get a Vrod with mid controls
i ride a 2004 Vrod. my dad actually fabricated some peg extenders himself he now rides a 2008 Nightrod and did the same. I am 5'9" and it is pushing it with the pegs stock. glad you like it though. :^) also just bought myself an 08 cbr600rr. cant wait to ride it.
buy it buy it buy it
Same....I'm not a Harley guy, except for the VRod. I bought the last model of the VRod Muscle made and its awesome. So sad they stopped making this bike
Still no magna documentary, huh ok.
"Guy who likes sport bikes but doesn't like the way they look"
That's why I bought a Night Rod Special and love it.
I've actually scrapped the crap out of my heat wraps on my Vance n Hines exhausts. She can turn.
To the people who hate harleys for some reason, I'd love to hear why...
GT COE Some criticize the bike, some criticize the stereotypical rider, some criticize the brand and the lifestyle it promotes, some criticize the high price, and they're all valid criticisms I've heard over the years. Me, I dgaf, I ride a maxi-scooter and respect anything on two wheels regardless because at the end of the day we're all out here riding and risking our lives amongst the cagers on their cellphones.
GT COE bad rep for being unreliable, mooshy controls, clunky transmission, out dated engine designs, lots of vibration, lots of parts made in China and other countries. not to mention you pay a premium just because it has the Harley name.
cos Harley rides think that its the one and true bike and anything else is not good enough and therefor not even showing any respect or even a little nod as they go past...
voin20 not all harley riders...
GT COE because of what snowcat said in a video. There are the only motorcycle company that you could walk into a store for and not be able to buy a bike there. Also their "American" bikes, are just Japanese parts assembled in the US of A. On top of that when you wash them, you need to barley trickle the water to not break the damn bike.
I've had an 03 vrod with a scratch built t3 turbo putting 158rwhp 104 ftlbs down on 9psi boost. Bone stock engine. Had the turbo on 10 years this year 22k miles. ZERO problems. ZERO Changed plugs twice and that's it. Most reliable bike I've owned. N I have and had alot of bikes
I'm sure they make a set of mid controls for that thing. Buy it! Just make sure you get rid of those stupid skulls on the tank. :0)
Tim Kreitz Adventures they do make mids
Pics & videos fail to do this bike justice! Last year I went to look at one at a Harley dealership (a 2010 gloss black Muscle with 5400 miles) and just looking at gave me cold chills. It took two test rides to get me hooked, I bought it the following weekend. No regrets!
This makes my 15th motorcycle and hands down it's my favorite! I once owned a 1985 V-65 Magna, it was powerful, comfortable and very agile for a cruiser, but it lacked the Cool factor and bored me for some reason.
I've ridden 4 other Harleys in the past (including a recent test ride on a 2018 Fat Boy 107) and for some reason they all bored me too.
Besides my V-Rod, the only other bike that didn't bore me was my punched-out & fully customized 2003 Yamaha FZ1. You couldn't ask for a better standard sportbike (except for the new Aprilia Tuono if you can afford it)!
After 15 years my FZ1 is still a smooth ride, but my V-ROD is an absolute addiction! No kidding; that's why my personal plate reads "ADCTNG". I plan on buying a brand new 2017 V-ROD muscle in the next few weeks (there's still some sitting in dealerships) just for a lifetime spare since they stopped making them (plate will read "PRFCTN").
The Yamaha is for sale on consignment: The V-ROD MUSCLE killed my desire to ride it.
how the fuck do you put gas in that thing I don't see a gas cap on the tank
tanks under the seat.
brandon
Thanks for the info because I didn't see the cap on it
the tank is under the seat, it's not in the conventional place for harleys
Yea the traditional tank area is just a cover over the top of a coolant tank
I work at the Harley Davidson Powertrain Factory, I have to say the V-Rod is my favorite bike by far!!!
cruising on a Harley is like doing 280 mph on a sportbike
V-Rod "Street Rod" (05 through 06 only I think) came with mid controls, and the Night Rod Special can be converted to mids. Sits like a standard at that point. Completely changes the bike. DO IT. I plan to when the weather warms up in the Hoosier State (found one I REALLY want).
Unsub.....
Just kiddin lolz
Dan, I would LOVE to see you take a street rod out for a rip! They're so much fun and they're comparable to the v rod
Ok dan just dan stop it get some help. JK dan 😂
Dan's giggle is contagious
hell reason its so fast Porsche designed the engine its made to do one thing go fast in a straight line
yea and Porsche did the same for BMW
So unbelievably false, it's a Harley engine, lifted from a VR-1000 racebike back when they actually raced. Porsche only helped tune it to make it street legal.
Jason Daniel its fast BBC they came with a screamin eagle race tuner in it. Plus 115-120ish ho stock. The 02' had 115 of the showroom floor.
dont trade the magna that bike is the history of this channel!
with those v rods u got to ride it like a 2 stroke
and you can get shorter pegs to be closer
mid controls did it for my 5 5 ass. much better riding then the forward for me. :)
I own a street rod which is a variant of the vrod and I love it. It sits a little higher and the pegs are placed like they would be on a sports bike so i can really lean into turns. An experienced rider on a sports bike will beat me but put me against the average joe and you'll be surprised
when you need the germans to build a good harley ;)
As much as I don't like the Harley mentality I would love to buy one of these and do a custom build with it. Good video dan!
BUY A SUPERMOTO
The v-rod is Harley Davisons attempt of a "sport" bike, but they are hella fun and if you get them done up they can go even faster than what you think
ride a low rider s
They are expensive af honestly compared to most Harley’s and most bikes. Wanted to sell my shadow for a low rider S but a 2017 low rider s is 18,000. No thank you
7:43 LOL!!!
Hey I ride a 2016 and 99% of your comments & opinions are correct. Nice to see someone push this bike because that's what it wants to do.
It's a beast to push into the corners and does best on long, sweeping curves. I had 3 riders behind me on gixers that could not pass me till the end of a sweeping curve. This bike fools a lot of car riders as they want to run by you cause they see it's a Harley. But the look on their face after they snap their neck as you leave em behind.
Great review!
sportbike dirtbike my shit not realy a cruiser or harley guy never cared for them
I agree.. But, I suggest giving any of these 3 bikes a test ride.. Just to see how insane they really are: Harley V-Rod 1250, Honda VTX1800, Triumph Rocket iii 2300. I have 1000 bikes id want first, but its worth giving them a try lol trust me.
Muscle bikes are easily one of the mot fun genre of bikes to ride. The Honda Valerie, VMax, Triumph Rocket, VRrod, Warrior, Buell's and really all the mid 70s through mid 80's KZ's are just a fucking blast. Al look great too.
V-rod, huh? I never loved those, but I believe Porsche helped design the engine, correct?
JAX yes sir porsche help build 50 % of the vrod and it was tested at the porsche facility thats why when i ride my vrod other harley riders tell me im not riding a real harley
Well other Harley riders are morons, so you do you, man! :-)
yeah when i go from 0-60 in 3 seconds and they are still trying to get off the line i laugh my ass off
Truth
JAX it's not a harley engine. it's not a true harley without it's heart.
We are finally "doing it with dan" with these bike test rides
Victory > Harley
Adrian Moreno agree
Too bad Polaris killed off Victory
FINALLY A BIG MOTOVLOGGER WHO MIGHT BE BUYING A VROD !!!!
Dan will you visa marry me?
It's a 5 speed Dan, 2017 is also the last year they make the V-Rod. If you have any questions send me a DM, I work at Harley Davidson.
I'd rather ride a moped than an ugly Harley...
The nailed it right from the off with that laugh, just imagined the grin on your face v rods have more smiles per mile than any other bike I've owned. I,am a short arse and Harley sell short reach pegs (moves pegs up and back) and a short reach seat (moves you further forward both Harley prices though lol.
I was a little nervous about buying the v rod muscle, but once I rode it, I fell in love.
I just bought a 2014 Vrod Muscle w 7000 miles. Any advice I mean I love the bike, but do you think that they’ll keep the value?
Dan
For shorter riders Harley sells bars and seats that move your closer to the controls.
I'm like you test rode a few VRods, and just had to walk away, I do not have the self control to behave myself. LOL
If you are buying used look for a Street Rod it had mid mounted controls, and I'm sure but there was a company making a conversion kit to mid mount controls I'm not a fan of forward controls.
I'm a Harley Rider and I wave at all two wheelers scooters to touring riders, if they wave back fine if they don't oh well life rolls on.
I like all kinds of bikes, Japanese to Euro to American, don't want to sound like an old guy but I'am been riding since 1978 and have had Hondas, Suzuki's ,Kawasaki is still my favorite Japanese make especially the Ninja line.
As a V-rod Owner (2002 VRSC-A) I just want to say you may want to consider riding this bike again, The V-Rod is a performance bike and the RPM she likes to sit at is around 4k-8k. I promise, if you take it out again and sit in the higher RPM's you will start to truly feel the sheer responsiveness and absolute power that this bike has. Personally I am able to stay in 2nd Gear up until ~80-90 mph. Trust me Dan, it will be worth your time to try this bike out a second time.
good to see your being a reaaaaaal boy and riding a harley dan!
It does do every bit of the speedo. At stock she hits 150 and keeps pullin for another second or 2 before you hit rev limit. Fastest confirmed speed was 155 alongside my buddys mustang
Got my first bike not to long ago. 2003 harley V-Rod
Way to give an honest review and try something different. The V-Rod is a hell of a ride. Most of the Harley line rides similar, V-Rod definitely stands out. If you want a real unique ride try an old shovel or pan head bobber. Like a bicycle on steroids. And there are some sick fast sportsters also if you need the speed.
The new Softails are great too. Go ride a 2020 Lowrider S. Just as fast as Vrod, better lean angle. 😊
Good video!
Dan #1 Harley is in fact discontinuing the vrod. Why I haven't the slightest clue. I'm all dirt bike experience and want to save for one of these myself.
#2 Harley sells an aftermarket kit moving the foot pegs back to a more upright position!
I love your videos dan there the best and they cheer me up when I'm down
OK Dan, i know you probably wont see this but i used to think exactly like you. Harleys are known for oil leaks and all but they did fix that back in the 90s if im not mistaken. My first bike was a 750 honda shadow and it was alright but it got old real fast, basically a starter bike for me. My dad got a road king a year later and i liked it so i started searching for a new bike. thats when i found the bike i love. Harley Davidson Heritage softail. I sat on one for the first time and it was heaven, a few months later i was able to find one i loved and rode it and was estatic about the ride. I know what everyone thinks of Harley riders and i understand because i used to be the same way, but every bike is different. Give them a chance. i hate the looks of Harleys except for the Heritage and the road king. there amazing rides and i just love the look of them. (i know everyone has there own opinions and all and i understand)
So glad my first bike is a vrod. Such an awesome bike
I just bought a 2007 Sportster XL1200 low and I'm in love with it. Still like my intruder but idk if I'll ever actually ride it again lol.
Considering Harley does a lot of custom jobs from their dealer, those pegs are easy and not expensive for someone like dan. Expect to see a Harley.
