Harley-Davidson introduced this limited-production drag-racing special for the 2006 model year as a factory-built, dealer-sold performance motorcycle under the VRXSE designation. It was derived from the VRSC/V-Rod family and represented Harley-Davidson’s most extreme production expression of the Revolution-powered platform at the time. Rather than serving as a conventional street model, it was aimed squarely at straight-line competition and the enthusiast market that wanted an out-of-the-box drag bike with factory backing. Harley-Davidson’s own service literature and parts catalog identify it as a 2006 model, and the bike’s place in the company’s history is tied to the early expansion of the V-Rod lineage into specialized performance variants. It is generally remembered as a short-run, purpose-built showcase machine rather than a long-running model line.
