So I went to a local power sports dealer in Killeen yesterday trying to find a scoot for my wife, who is only 5ft. So the salesman showed us a triumph, a shadow, and a victory. Well my wife didn't find any of them as comfortable as the iron 883 and 42 1200 she sat on at the harley dealer where I bought my wide glide from. So anyways we are talking about the victory and the guy tells us that unlike my harley the victory is 100% American made. I told him that nothing is completely 100% made in america because of parts sourcing. He continued to argue with me so I dropped it. So it got me thinking, for curiosity sake what is the percentage of American parts on my 12 wide glide

 

Polaris Industries Inc. is headquartered just outside of Minneapolis in Medina, Minnesota. Polaris engineering, manufacturing and distribution facilities are located in Roseau, Minnesota; Osceola, Wisconsin; Spirit Lake, Iowa; Vermillion South Dakota.I believe there are more parts made in America on the victory then on the new Harley's. Just my two cents

 

Harley Davidson has locations in Milwaukee Wisconsin, Menomonee Falls Wisconsin, Wauwatosa Wisconsin, Tomahawk Wi, York Pa, Kansas City Mo. I don't see what manufacturing and distribution locations have to do with American content.

 

57.35 %. Feel better?

 

Really 57%, doesn't make me feel any different! still love my wide glide

 

victory is 100% american made? doubt it. probably like harley their assembled in america with foreign an domestic materials.

 

There was an article shomewhere that went threw where everything was made on a victory and a harley. Victory beat harley by a few percent being more American made.

I tried to like victory, when looking for a bike. Couldn't do it.
IMO, Victorys are BFU.

 

For me...it's the end results that count! The engine, the frame, the tins and the styling is all American! They are assembled by American hands here in America! It's an American motorcycle that I will ride as long as I'm able...till death do us part!

 

agree

 

Some of their models have decent design characteristics, nice job on the saddlebags, but not as nifty as my HD WG!
