Most guys I know that ride them like them Some of their features are truly nice, their stock wheels look better than most Harleys ... Only one I would consider though is the 8 Ball

I don't know... I hear that these Harley-Davidson people make pretty popular bikes...

I think the styling and engineering are fine but I am not a fan of the way they put their oil coolers and master cylinders in an exposed location where road debris may damage them.

Yeah, what he said.

That's funny! So the next thread is "what do you think of the new Indian's?" If I could own my top 3 HD's and then a 4th bike there are a few Victory's I think are cool. Jackpot, 8 Ball come to mind. For me the HD is # 1.........working on when I can get OL switched next and that will be the EG Standard or SG. Or maybe I buy into an Ultra Classic 09 for me and hand her the RKC? Too many HD's I love before considering any others.

You only go around once in life. You might as well ride the real thing. I have no interest in Victory's.
