I took a look at those prior to buying my HD. They just lacked the soul of the HD bikes IMHO:-) But other then that they aren't too too bad.

At a price point of $1000. less than HD, they will get some sales.

A couple mentioned they haven't seen them on the road. I can tell you that you will see them in Flroida. They are getting their foot in the door.

I too would like to see them succeed. I would love to see both Victory and a "real" Indian motorcycle make it.

Between the 3 you would cover all the basis from traditional, to modern, to retro look.

I think the basic bike is good.... They just need to fire the designers!

Exactly what I thought when I saw the pics..... I kind of like the jackpot's. At least they look pretty good in the showroom. I missed the last demo days at the dealer just a few miles from my house, but I'm determined to ride a couple the next time the truck is in town.

I've started to see a couple of them out on the road lately... last weekend, saw a vision at the hardware store. I'd love to see them succeed.

Yeah.....I understand what you are saying, and please understand, my comments are not meant to insult someone's bike. I test rode a Kingpin, and I just remember the hand controls looking like jap quality, and that the 250 rear tire felt weird, but, anyway....

It's just.....PERSONALLY, I prefer Harely-Davidson's. It has ZERO to do with the Corporate image......I just really can't think of anything that I really don't like about our "old girls". I've already gotten over the made in America thing.....we are in a global economy now, and we ain't never going back....so might as well accept it

As long as the OWNER is happy, I don't really care.
