I agree with some of the other post. A+ for being different. Like it, but would not own it.

I agree....that thing has RSD (Roland Sands Design) written all over it.

That is DEFINITELY Roland's style.

Not for me though personally.

Greetings,

Just like most Victorys, this one also features the "it looks like ***" package. Definitely not my cup of tea at all.

I think that it's pretty inovative. H@ll, even the exhaust looks like they found a use for old drain pipe and they even thought to wrap it to cover the leaks. No rear suspension, who would have thought of that. Shaved teeter- totter seat that lites up and no place to mount the licence plate.

I think it looks sharp...not something you would wanna ride for long, but I think a lot of guys build their dynas with a similar mindset. It has a mean look, but the power comes through at the same time. A Dyna wannabee!

I think Victory is really passing up a great opportunity. With the Polaris reputation and now a decent reputation in the motorcycle market they are in a great position to make a Dirt Bike or multi purpose bike. I would think an American made product would do well in that market. They seem to be moving more into the radical custom direction and that appears to be a fading trend. Over 75% of the "Custom Bike" shops have folded up or are back to being small owner operated shops.

I seems like more people are buying bikes to ride not to look cool on. When the economy trends down expensive toys are the first to go.
