RE: Uh oh...
I think that bike is going to take sales away from Honda & BMW. It looks more like those bikes and looks nothing like a Harley.
If I was looking for something bigger and modern looking, I would chose it over the Gold Wing, or BMW.
Anyone that likes and wants the styling Harley has, is not going to consider the Victory.

RE: Uh oh...
That sucks, the Vision had a Stage 1 so they weren't even comparing stock bikes on the dyno. How can they give better marks for power?Let them try again with a Stage 1 in the Harley.
And for that kind of money, they were not too critical of a tranny that pops out of gear, "only a couple times"? Can you imagine the 850 lb bike "fishtailing" when you brake in the rain?
And what's the problem with the kick stand. I for one LOVE Harley's jiffy stand. Anyone who's had a metric "roll" off it's stand because it didn't have the positive lock Harley does know's what I mean.
IMHO, this was a paid advertisement.
