In 2001, Harley-Davidson released the V-Twin Racing Street Custom (VRSC). A serious departure from The Motor Company’s other models, the bike boasted an advanced V-Twin that was jointly developed with Porsche. In addition to breaking from Harley’s tradition of 45-degree motors — the V-Rod utilized a 60-degree block — it also featured water cooling and an under-seat fuel tank.
As Porsche describes the engine’s development: “Against the backdrop of a collaboration stretching back to the 1970s, the Porsche engineers constructed a water-cooled 1131cc motor based on a racing engine that delighted Harley-Davidson’s demanding clientele both for its performance as well as its imposing sound. With a DOHC valvetrain and electronically controlled fuel injection, the VRSC-series Harley with its four-valve engine put out up to 120hp.” Porsche fans will also note the gauges, which are very similar in style to what you’d find in the liquid-cooled 996.
The V-Rod’s creation eventually spawned several other variants, including this Screamin’ Eagle of which approximately 2,400 examples were manufactured at the Kansas City facility by Harley’s Custom Vehicle Operation. This special version was loaded with chrome and had the powermill bored out to 1247cc producing a 10 percent power increase.
This example is VIN: 1HD1PMG185K975538. The seller states, “We had bought the motorbike in Texas with a few miles in 2015 and after traveling throughout America including the Sturgis rally we shipped the motorbike from New York to Italy where we did all the work at our workshop American Dreams Italy Motorcycles. We brought it back to America and the rally in Daytona winning an award at the RatsHole, now we have decided to sell part of our private collection in order to continue with new projects.”
