Harley Davidson is known to have the American Motorcycle. Recently released was the H.D. V-Rod. The V-Rod is a liquid-cooled motorcycle that represents the next step for Harley Davidson.

Unfortunately the sales for the V-Rod have not been the hottest. While some say that it's because of the credit crunch and nightmare economy, others say it's because is Un-American. Reason behind this is because Porsche was the one who designed the 1130-cc 60-degree liquid-cooled V-twin engine that V-Rod carries. Sales have been hurting bad for these reasons and Harley wants to boost them up. So what better way to sell an American product than by adding sex to the picture.

In comes Marisa Miller. Marisa Miller is a well known model for her multiple magazine covers and work with Victoria Secret. "To represent such an iconic American brand is incredible," she said in a Harley Press release. "I have grown up watching my dad and uncle ride Harley's. It's amazing to circle back at this point in my career, and work with a brand I have so much respect for."

The new V-Rod was meant for a new younger generation and hopes that with Miller advertising the V-Rod, sales and profits should go up soon and make them happy.
