HARLEY-DAVIDSONNight Rod Special 2014 - 2015

　　The Harley-Davidson Night Rod was a cruiser machine part of the VRSC series, introduced in 2006 and manufactured through 2008. The Night Rod was introduced as a new hot rod-inspired machine, with the build concentrated around the Revolution engine.

　　In 2007, the American manufacturer released the Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special, a unique version of the standard Night Rod with almost entirely blacked-out trim and a 240 mm wide rear tire.

　　Besides the wide rear tire, the Nigh Rod Special came with most chromed components painted in black and with slotted disc wheels in a black finish with dark orange pinstripes. Also, from 2008, the Night Rod Special featured a displacement increase from 1,130cc to 1,247cc, delivering slightly more power and torque.

　　In 2013, the US manufacturer launched the Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special, a blacked-out cruiser that featured a tapered tail section, lighter split five-spoke wheels, and improved ergonomics by reducing the reach to the handlebar and footpegs.

　　The 2014 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special took its muscles from a 1,247cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin Revolution engine with a fuel injection system feeding the pistons, delivering 125 hp at 8,250 rpm and 115 nm (85 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.

　　The braking system was carried over from previous models, including two 300 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 300 mm disc with a four-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
