Just kidding, nothing is as ugly as a RG.







Disclaimer: The above statements were meant only as a joke, and nothing but a joke. There is no HD bike that comes close to being called ugly when compared to a Vision. No RG was harmed during this post.

I love my Ultra, but I think the Rg is a cool looking bike. No victory comes close to the class of HD. I don't even one to look at one much less sit on it. Sorry, but it's HD forever with me. I ride for the brand just like the cowboys!

I think the Vision is a pretty sweet looking ride. I sat on one and was impressed how low the center of gravity was. I just would not buy one because Harley just kicks everone arrssszz in reliabillity and parts accesibility. Besides that doesn't Polaris make jet ski's. And why the hell am I wasting my time blogging about a jet ski in a Hd forum. Bad topic.

Our Harley dealer takes in victorys at a real bad trade in value. Funny thing is they leave the bike outside in the weather and won't let them in with the rest of the Harleys. They end up getting shipped off to the metric motorcycle store across the parking lot.

Friend hauls the Victory demo bikes around twice a year. A few of us get to unload 3 or 4 models and ride them to a local biker stop so we can take turns with the. Kind of a do it ourselves dealer show. (Hopefully his boss doesn't read this.) Only thing to like about the Vision is you can actually get off and let the bike roll to rest on its side - no damage what-so-ever as they have designed it with a built in protection shape and band where it rest on the pavement. Had a hammer leak oil out of the head gaskets as if it was trying to imitate a HD 110. Cheap controls on all models as compared to HD. Nice paint on most, but chrome is another story.
