A friend of ours ride one, and he loves it. It's a beautiful bike...(although I can't recall what model it is) .... Just traded his old one in for a new one last summer.

It can do pretty much anything a Harley can do ... but it doesn't have the distinct sound that a Harley has. It's nice to look at, feels very well balanced...Nice bike, IMHO.

Nice!!!!!!

 

If you want to check out Victory bikes and/or compare them to HD then go to the International Motorcycle Show. I go each year and start by sitting on the Road Glide, then I go check out all the other bikes. I always end up sitting back on the RG. Victory has some nice bikes and they are affordable. Sitting on the Vision makes me feel like I'm sitting on a big potatoe chip. Not for me.

What do I think of Victory motorcycles?

About as little as I do of all the rest of them...

Not much...

That's why I ride Harleys...

 

The first time I took a serious look at Victory they were priced several thousand less than a Harley. However, when I was ready to buy they had increased their prices to Harley's level. Then I started checking on resale/trade in values and was told the Victory's did not hold their value. Since I have always felt that a motorcycle was a Harley and anything else was a scooter. I went my heart and bought a Harley.

I think some of the Victory's are ok looking; actually all except the Vision. I think they need to get rid of the Ness look since I am not a big fan of the Arlen Ness look. They do have some neat paint schemes available.

I think they will be around for a long time because the people that ride them really like them and that is what is important. If they ever get their prices back in line with the metrics I might even be tempted again.

I am on my third Harley and have never had any regrets.

Buddy of mine has an 8ball. Nice bike, Stock parts are well built astetics and function. I rode his for a few miles thought it was a little anemic for a 100" motor w/ a tuner,intake and pipes. Would I own...no but, they are nice bikes. I see Roland Sands is doing a production bike for them this year should be pretty sweet. Oh ya I let him ride my bike...He didn't want to give it back!

 

If they are made by Polaris, I rode one. 1000 cc, IIRC, and about like a Sportster - hard riding and noisy but lots of torque. If it's something else I didn't do it.

 

the hammer does not in any way remind me of a musclecar... it looks like a honda shadow

but the victory vision is an amazing motorcycle and a testament to thoughtful forward thinking motorcycke design. advanced production techniques and lots of new technology make it a great bike for what its designed for. I personally dont like the style, but i really respect it for what it is.

 

I really don't care for them, and never think about them either.
