Harley Davison Night Rod 3D model

Harley Davidson Night Rod
Modelled in Maya With medium details.

Harley Davidson Night Rod Special motorcycle is pure aggression from fast back tail section to streamlined front end, built around a liquid-cooled 60? V-twin engine stuffed full of racing-derived serious business like dual overhead cams, 4-valve heads and velocity stacks feeding its double barrel exhaust. This one starts on the racetrack, with the company's VR1000 superbike engine which produces 125bhp. With dual overhead cams and four valves per cylinder, it provides 111Nm of torque at 7250 rpm, while feeling refined and velvety smooth all the way up to the redline. The Harley-Davidson V-Rod model line includes exactly two bikes: the V-Rod Muscle and the Night Rod Special. Both of these bikes offer big power, distinctive drag-inspired style, and plenty of up-to-date features.

The Harley-Davidson V-Rod was among the most unique motorcycles in Harley’s portfolio but it faced a big hurdle: it doesn’t comply with the new Euro 4 norms. Also, the fact that sales for the bike have witnessed a drop in the past few years spurred the American bike maker to end its production run.

Designed and engineered to rival high-performance motorcycles, the power cruiser made its debut back in 2001. It was also the first bike that looked completely unique when compared to the long history of bikes made by Harley-Davidson.

The 1130cc Revolution engine used in the V-Rod was developed in partnership with German car manufacturer Porsche and produced 100 Nm of peak torque at 7000rpm. The V-Twin engine’s cylinders were angled at 60 degrees and the engine was derived from the VR-1000 Superbike. In addition, the engine also received liquid-cooling and used double overhead cams, making it the most modern motor in its portfolio.
