The new Vision looks very metric and will compete with the goldwings alot more than the E-Glides. Their other bikes look a bit metric, butI like them. I've ridden them before and they are nice machines. I wouldn't get rid of my HD for one, but there are some things that Victory does better than HD. For one, the bike is pretty well equiped right off the floor. The grips and pegs are quality, not like the junk HD puts on 20K bikes. Secondly, Victory has managed to build a 100ci engine without any heat or noise issues. HD has been at this game for over 100 years, and they should be embarased by the TC96 issies.
I had a 2001 v92dc (deluxe cruiser) for a while looked a lot like a heritage. It rode really nice, and it ran good too. I don't have any problems with the way they are. They just aren't a Harley
I feel the same about the Kingpin...just looks metric to me. I think if you changed the fender on the 'pin it wouldn't look bad though. But if I was going to go with something that looked like a metric cruiser, it'd be a VTX 1800..[&:]
