I'd buy one if I didn't think it would lose about half its value in the first week. They have some nice ideas and their engineers aren't afraid to think outside of the box. Adjustable handlebars? Harley has 95 years on Victory and they still don't give us adjustable handlebars...they'd rather have us buy a new set if we don't like the ones that come with the bike. Nice business move I guess, but not very customer friendly. They also have more luggage space, inverted forks, a bigger motor, oil coolers are standard, the motors hold 6 quarts of oil, and all the bikes come with a 5-year warranty. Pretty attractive features in my opinion.
Hell no, we don't want that

I rode that new Vision with the wife on the back. She absolutely loved it. But the storage in their saddlebags leaves alot to be desired. Haven't seen these new bagger models, but they claim to have 25% more space than a Street Glide. Interesting. Thanks.

I made a decision about the Cross Roads. I generally like it and would own/ride one.
Man, what is up with the air dams in front of the frame on the "Cross" series? Unless it served some important mechanical purpose, I would strip it off the day I got the bike home in my garage.

I actually liked the look of the old 92 cruiser they had. They had a more chunky look. The ness styles look to feminine They're engines rock though. Buddy has a hammer with la rosa pipes and it sounds crappy to me. Ain't got that harley thump....Glad to see more American bikes though.

The Victory Crossroads is not a bad looking bike.

If the Cross Roads does not have down tubes under that air dam, there is no way I would buy it. I am primarily a function over form kind of rider. I would be really uncomfortable riding a bike without a "complete frame."

Well, I am glad you like the Core concept bike. I am not a fan, however.
