I was watching a special on the development of the V-Rod and heard that the engine was developed jointly by HD and Porsche and was even tested on dynos at the Porsche facilities in Germany.. I know the Vrod has been out for awhile I just didn't catch it the first time I saw the special. A two wheel Porsche maybe, but its water cooled.

As for the sound it's pretty quiet - however I haven't opened it up past 4000 rpm yet either and I have been told the bike makes very little power below 5000 rpm. I was told that V-Mod pipes sounded best so I got a set. They are basically stock pipes with the baffles cut out and then repacked. The ECU will have to be reprogrammed when they get installed as they will make you run a little lean. I still have to finish breaking the bike in before I have them installed.
