Stupid question I know. Can the VN750 run without water? Most bikes are air cooled and not sure why this bike needs coolant? Can I drain the water and ride the bike using the air to cool, or will the little engine seize? I am buying an american bike next time.

Thanks for the info,

water cooled engines pretty much all operate on the same principles so the question is.. Would you run your car as an air-cooled engine?
Having been stuck in traffic on the interstates a few time due to accidents, I am very thankful my bike is water cooled. I wasn't one of the bikes that had to pull off on the shoulder because the air-cooled bike over-heated.
Which trouble-free-all-components-made-and-assembled-in-America bike were you considering?
