Don’t mind the Retro looks of the XR1200
!I also lied a bit earlier - I would on occasion stop to look at a well sorted V-Rod, but will deny it if anybody brings it up in future!

Ohlins would be your best bet.
When I had my low rider and low rider ST, Ohlins had a longer rear adjustable shock for more travel.

Anyone who liked the V Rod should look at the Sportster 1250 S that Tony mentioned…

Don’t get to far ahead though mate - I’d cast a glance at one, that‘s a loooooong way from ever buying a Harley. I have my image to think of you know!

I felt myself saying " oh for F### sake get over it" - didn't watch to the end.
Liked the exhaust note though.

Sorry.
The v-Rod may handle ok when compared to other Harley’s, but it’s still a Harley
I can’t do the feet forward riding position thing.

My problem as well.
Causes me lower back issues.
Racer crouch is actually less of a problem for me.

I don’t feel safe riding with my feet in front of me and my arms extended forward.

Also, not the best position for your sense of balance, or machine control.
I would never use ape hanger handlebars either, but some swear by them, go figure.

You have Harley engineered / designed or shared parts on your Norton. So technically we’re on topic.
