Neither would "wanna be" bikers

its all about imitation aint it?

Now, +2 on Victory's ugly plastic space ship. I think the only Vision the design team had when they drew that atrocity up came after watching too much Star Trek.

Looks like the Ultra Clasic and Road Glide were the inspiration for the design. I guess they figure if you cant beat em "try to" join em.

I say the Victory Vision is the ugliest bike out there. others thing the Goldwing is. What do you think the results would be if HD, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Victory lined up their top tour bikes at a non-motorcycle place and let the general public vote on the best looking bike?

Did you notice it has a liquid-cooled engine, but also has cooling fins on the cylinders? I guess that's to make it look like an air-cooled engine.

Wow, did they get a set of blueprints to copy? I agree on the Victory. It's the ugliest bike I have seen yet. It's the motorcycle version of the AMC Pacer.
