RE: VICTORY ENGINES.
Last summer while still in the decision making process, I test drove a Hammer for about a 20 mile ride and the thing ran like a raped ape. Super low end torque and I can't tell you what the 0-100 time was but it's faster than any Harley I've ever ridden. Bike rode prety smooth for a "muscle" bike but it was a challenge holding a line in the turns due to that 250 tire but once you got used to it not too bad. Having said that I think their price point is off by about 20% (too high) Great quality all the way through though and the motor ran a lot cooler than my '07 Ultra classic

I am not trying to start an arguement with any of you guys, but I could have sworn that the Victory was a water-cooled engine when I looked at a new one a year or so ago. However, don't hold me to that.

The radiator you saw was an oil cooler. Factory stock since day one. They've never made a water buffalo (not yet anyway) Bimmer boxers are also now air/oil, but they revamped their K models in case emissions get too strict.

Victory engines are nothing like Harley (or S&S) engines. They're an overhead cam, 4 valves per cylinder,air/oil cooled, 50-degree V-twin.

......yea....I could never go back though....the only downside of the 96 for me is the speeding tix.......just spent Sat. in traffic school......but it does NOT feel like a metric......and I'll say it does NOT feel like a Shovel either...!!!
