This is the motorcycle that will earn you the street cred you deserve. This Harley V-Rod even has dual flamethrowers and shotguns up front.

This road monster was built from a 2002 V-Rod chassis, and its original v-twin engine has been removed entirely to make room for a 65HP HPEVS electric motor - slightly less than the original engine, but boasts an additional 17 ft-lbs of torque and runs nearly silently. Its Optima Bluetop batteries only hold enough charge for a 40 mile round trip. And of course, it has dual flamethrowers and integrated shotguns built into its front forks.

Unfortunately, those don't officially come "with" the bike - it's like, illegal. But you can get them along with the bike as a "free" option. The seller explains:
Although the flamethrowers and cannons are in a fully authentic & operable state as pictured, the cannon trigger breach blocks and flamethrower pressure release valves are NOT INCLUDED as part of this sale listing. Without these components, the weapons are INOPERABLE. These INOPERABLE weapons that are included as part of this specific sale are to be considered as DECORATION ACCESSORIES ONLY.
Ah. Decoration. Right:
