The Victory Vision at least looks like its designed to be ridden down the highway, but whether it can really compete with the classic tourers has yet to be seen. It's not a design I'd want, but I know many who seem to like it.

Saw three of the new Victory Vision tourers at the Cycle World show in Washington DC a couple weeks ago. They have some nice design points in many respects, and I'm sure they will work as touring bikes, but that back end just looks like a boat to me. It isn't "form follows function", its some new-age streamlined metrosexual nightmare from an out-of-control design team.




Of course, some of these customized baggers with the lowered bags and fully enclosed back ends look kinda like trikes on two wheels too.

Guess its another case of different strokes for different folks.....

I would rather dry hump a porcipine, than ride that thing in the dark.

Glad I don't have to make those choices.

Don't like either one. But then again I was never a chopper fan.
