i had a hammer man talk s*** about my vrod. bragging about how much power and torque he had. aparently he didn't read any articles because he tried running me from a red light and he was slapped in the face with my exhaust. then i decided to rub it in a little more on the highway by launching forward and backing off and lauching forward again repeatedly as he accelerated up to 90 mph and i was still in 2nd. i normally don't do stuff like that but that hole talk of superior design compared to the out of date design of HD really reved my engine. oooooo it has a 240 back tire ooooo.

The exhaust pipes cry out to be changed on the Vic. Way too big. It takes away from the lines of the bike.

You know your VROD isn't an HD motor, right? You're really revving a porsche motor.

Difference? The Victory engine is more powerful.

I couldn't care less about who makes the better motorcycle, I only care about who makes the one I most desire. I have the bike I want.

I like the looks of the judge. But it ain't my street bob.
Now if victory were priced the same as yamaha or close then maybe I would have thought twice before putting all the effort and money into my bike,but they aren't,and I fall in love with my street bob everytime I start it up. The sound,smell,how it feels sitting on it.
People can ride whatever they choose too,it doesn't bother me,I have waited my whole life for the bike I have so I'm not trading up/down anytime soon.
