Default New Victory - Road King Fighter
First, I’m not trying to stir any fight, I think if you love motorcycles, you should at least be interested in what other brands have.

Second, I’m a Harley guy, so I don’t envision myself getting one of these… but I personally think they are a nice looking bike (at least in pictures).

Products like this should keep HD honest in bringing out new things.

Take a look and let’s hear what you think of Victory’s new Road King/Electra Glide fighter.

Ever ride a Victory? I have and am not impressed. The drive trains feel loose and the motors with all that bragging feel weak...oh and they sound like a Honda...

It took me a few different looks at the new Cross Roads but eventually came to the conclusion that I would be happy riding/owning one. Of course, I am also happy riding my Road King.

They look nice, with sexy lines and curves... sorta like they're female Harleys!

I like the way they look with the exception of the Vision--never rode one so I can only go on the aesthetics and not the performance

Been riding Harleys for 40 years .. Have rode others as well but know a few Victory riders that spend a whole hell lot of time working on theirs to keep them running than I do.. Rode a couple of Vics and Sorry was not impressed at all .. If wanted something just to be fast would buy a Busa... But Feel free to ride what you please..

I think that they look like something out of a bad sci fi movie. Just my perspective.
