Naw, had enough of that with my Aspencade ![Icon Lol](https://www.hdforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
I just don't understand how anyone in their right mind would condemn another American made motorcycle that like I said has more american parts on it than a Harley. That's why I defend Victory in here.
It's like pissing on the flag to me............
But then again, this forum is full of rice cage drivers......so maybe it's par for the course![Icon Laugh](https://www.hdforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_laugh.gif)

I always laugh at that myself, fly the flag on two wheels, then jump in the Honda / Nissan / Toyota....seem's somewhat hypocritical to me.

Victory (Polaris) maybe makes a good engine, but I can't get passed the internal push rods.
The best thing about Harley's are the engines. They just look F'n cool to me. Every engine they have made, even if they we'rnt the most reliable just caught my eye more than any other part of the bike.

Hi all,
A little known fact about Victory is when Polaris decided to build motor cycles
they knew they couldn't compete with Harley so they decided they would try to
corner a previously untried part of the motorcycle market and that was to sell
motorcycles to old ladies.

Schumacher is right. I noticed "Polaris" cast into the Victory fork sliders. No Honda Forks like Harley has. Oh and they were chrome sliders...from the factory.

assuming you are not kidding around they don't have internal pushrods , they have chains that never need to be adjusted so they say.

I so almost bought a Victory...but the RKC looks got me.....
Maybe I sacrificed a little on engine and even handling...but I am not the kind of rider to push things to the limit anyway.
The Victory looks more modern and that may well pull in the younger riders. I personally prefer the nostalgic look of the harley and even the Americana of owning one. Ya, Vic is American made too but doesn't have the history.
I say ride what you want...I am.
