Harley cost for metric feel.

Wheels are dated, hand control are cheapo jap stuff.

Quality of the finished product is sub-par.

It's your $$$$, not mine.

Build your own, or go H/D.

I'm sure the Victory's are nice bikes but I just can't stand the way they look. I'll stay with HD.

Ahhhhh......Victory's version of the Road King and the Street Glide. They missed big time. I am with golfblues on this one. Looks like they belong on the moon.

They actually are celebrating their tenth year. Really new compaired to Harley but around long enough. Totally agree on the price but they do come with big motors and a bunch of other bling. Kinda like production custom if you will.

I would like to sit on a Core Concept bike, just to see if it would be a comfortable ride.

I happened to own 4 Vics ( and still have one) and they've been good machines. My wife is currently riding an '04 Kingpin (was my old ride). Nothing wrong with competiton, it keeps all manufactures in check of what the others are doing. I give Victory alot of credit for hanging in there and making good products. Just like Indian making a comeback, it's providing jobs and giving a boost into the "American" freedom of choice. Don't like it, don't buy it.
