There nice bikes, I have owned one. The dealers are disappearing, that is why I sold it for my 09 RK.

Friend owns a Vegas and the chrome is peelin off the forks,tree and the brackets. We talked to them in Daytona at bike week and they claim he rode it in the rain too much, then they said he trailered it, I guess they think he tied it down with chain and binders. They didn't give a dam....

Buddy took a 8 Ball out for a test ride last weekend (100 CI motor.) I rode up and whent out with him on my HD. I really thought that the motor in that Victory would walk me. We pulled onto the on ramp and he pinned it. I actually had to back out of it to keep from running up his exhaust pipes. I was shocked. I really thought they had more snot then that. Oh and the left turn signal fell off during the test ride.

They need to work on there marketing, I've known what a Harley is all my life, never heard of a Victory till I read about them on Harley forums, the last few months. To me they lack soul, and heritage, and they try to make some models look like a Harley, so I won't tradeing my bike in anytime soon for one, I like the real deal just fine.

I've never seen a Victory dealer in Chicago. The bikes are cool except for the ugly Vision tourer.

They've made it ten ten years now. I think that they pull away metric riders and not HD riders.
