That's if you can get them to warranty anything.

Default Tri Victory

I feel the Tri looks and handling win out hands down over the Star Trek Cruiser. You use the right oils in all three holes and get it cooled down during break in and the Tri is not excessively noisy, IMO. Performance is respectable with very litttle modification. Overall from what I've garnered from the test ride, the Tri is still the winner, hands down.

I like the fact the Victory is American made and trying to get in the game but I can't get past that Star Wars design.

Shame they made them so.... Well..... Kind of..... Dang I'll say it, they look like they have the need to sneak up on a gas pump just to get a sip of gas.

I told my son if Batman had a motorcycle, this would be it....
If you ever ride one, you may get over the looks...and they look a lot better without the tour box on back....
I've rode his, and darn if it's not powerful, comfortable, and I could with a 28" inseam, put my feet on the ground...lots of extras...it'll make you think that's for sure...

He's just trying to be nice just like the way I taught him. Plus I have seen several butts that I would not consider ugly.

I guess maybe its the Arlen Ness influences that have me not caring for it. I'm not much of a Ness fan, I think most of his stuff looks bulky. Kind of like it needs a membership to Weight watchers.

I was on a bike ride the past weekend and one of the riders was on a Victory Vision. Beautiful bike no doubt, very sophisticated and futuristic look, but the classic look of the TG beats it hands down in my opinion. May be I am very traditional but love the boxy look of the hind of theTG and that classic front and rear round fenders of the ultra classic.
