Rumors, nasty rumors. Ha ha. The V-Rod is arguably the most reliable HD ever produced but it will break somewhere sometime. So will any other make of bike. They really are not at all like they were 25 years ago and thank goodness for that! When it comes to reliability, nostalgia has no value.

Regarding comfort. Nobody can tell you what you are comfortable riding. Only what they like or what someone else told them they liked. Good luck with that question. I've owned a V-Rod and I thought it was comfortable. I used a windshield on mine.

As for being a beginning rider.... Most I speak with say to buy a small used bike to learn on and to see if you even will like motorcycling enough to spend ten grand or more on a big one. Both of those choices seem like a pretty big bite for a first ride but then again, many have done it before you. I did the small to large method over many years. I'll admit that the primary reason is that was all I could afford. Were I getting in to bikes at this age (50), I'd probably get the one I want first try and just take it easy getting used to it.

It's your money. Good luck and ride safe!
