I seriously consider the Victory Cross Country. But after comparing the limited availability of accessories and cost, I decided to go with the Street Glide. There are nearly no aftermarket accessories for the Cross Country. You have to go with Victory accessories and by the time you add all that cost it's not that far off the Street Glide. That's without considering the low resale value on Victory's. My son just sold a 1 yr old Victory Jackpot for about half of the new cost.

I aways wanted a Harley. First bike too many years ago was a customized Triumph Trident. A number of metrics since then. Decided this was the year with kids grown up to start touring with the better half. I went back and forth between the Ultra Glide Limited and the Victory Vision , for two-up touring comfort. I had no interest in the Goldwing. Two weeks ago, I brought home a new 2011 Victory Vision and I could not be happier. The looks of the bike grow on you and are subjective. People either love it or hate it, and many who dislike it, eventually come to like it.

I sat on a Vegas 8 ball and loved it. It was so comfortable. I crunched the numbers and could afford one but balked when I looked at the number of dealers in my area (Nova Scotia, Can). There is only one dealer here and 2 in new Brunswick. It made me think about a breakdown a long way from a dealer. Harley repair shops seem to be everywhere.
The only other thing I didn't like was that big honking motor. I guess I just like bikes in the 1100 - 1300 cc size.
I watched a vid on youtube and there were some really odd noises when the guy was downshifting but everything i read says they redid the tranny to mostly correct that this year.
Beautiful bike and I think they are probably good machines.
