I like the 8-ball, kinda. The rest of them are hideous.

Little too much ''custom'' for me.

They got some nice bikes, I was looking at an 8-ball when I was in the market for a bike but realized for that price I might as well get a Harley and not hate myself for buying anything else first. If funds allowed I would definately have a Victory in my arsenol.
Oh and when I first saw the touring bikes Victory puts out at the Javits convention bike show last year I wasn't a fan, but now they have grown on me and the curves just seem to flow when you see one in person riding down the street.

I hear you and have noticed the same thing. Cool bikes for the most part but who is buying them? Or is it just that they don't stand out to where I notice them? I'm pretty good about noticing bike types when I'm out but who knows maybe I just don't pick up on them.

Either way I've never seen anyone riding one since they came out.

I think the touring ones are BIG bucks? Like a UCSE?

Love the hammer. I'd rock that in a heartbeat.

I have a buddy that has a Kingpin. Says he loves the bike. Just wishes he bought something to be able to go on long hauls. He rode from Columbia to Daytona for Biketoberfest and it pretty much beat him up a little.
