A drag bike straight from the factory, the Harley-Davidson VRXSE was an in-house bike created by the Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) department of H-D. With a skilled rider, one could knock-out ETs between under 10 seconds right from the dealership. According to Kevin Duke from Motorcycle.com, when this bike was released it was the quickest accelerating production vehicle ever built. It also has one of the greatest model names of all time – the V-Rod Destroyer. I’ve featured a few in the past but the asking prices were all substantial because were still new in the box or never been started. This has just 25 miles on the odometer but when it comes to a rare drag bike, that’s enough use to finally get the asking price down to less than half the original MSRP of $31,249.
With a Revolution 60 degree V-Twin, and custom parts everywhere, the bike was capable of producing about 170 horsepower at 9,700 rpm. H-D planned on selling 150-300 examples based on the V-Rod streetbike but they got over 600 orders so they even created a class for it within the All Harley Drag Racing Association (AHDRA). For more information on this quarter-mile muncher, check out this review from Mark Hoyer at Cycle World.
This example originally competed in the AHDRA and it’s recently been serviced and test ridden by Harley-Davidson of Atlanta. Find this Destroyer for sale in Lithia Springs, Georgia for $15,000 here on Craigslist.
