Someone put a lot of work into the look of that. If the rest of the bike has that kind of workmanship and is a descent price point they may have something there. I wish them luck. Maybe we can have a little friendly rivalry like the pre-war days. I like having Victory in the picture to add to the competition, but I could never get past the build quality and style.

That's a sweet looking big twin. Interesting that it is one cubic inch larger than a CVO, maybe this will prompt HD to put the 120 in some production bikes.

Looks beautiful! The prices are way too high though, but they are gorgeous bikes. Victory had to increase the engine displacement since the stock Victory engine is 106 and the last Indian was 105. It would have been difficult to market Indian as the luxury line from Victory if it continued to have a smaller engine than the regular Vics. And of course having one up on the Harley CVO 110 was key too. It will be interesting to see if Harley steps up to the 110 as their stock touring motor and adds the 120 to the CVO line.

I don't like the roundness of the heads.
