RE: Uh oh...
It is sad that it's one of the few companys that are US companys, and this thing it going to die a painfull death.
I hope they can find a good way to salvage the company,because this will hurt bad,they should stick to making sleds.

IMHO, they shoulda used the 103" against the Vistory Vision. The best of the best that each manufacturer has to offer as the article says. If they had done that... I think the Ultra would have edged over the top. It would have had the better HP and TQ numbers... It would have taken the point for exhaust sound... and if I did the math right, that would have changed the total numbers to put the Ultra in the top. But it would have also tipped the $$$ scales to $30k vs. $22k.

the victory vision could pull 180 TQ and 150 HP for $5900 with lifetime free maint. and tires and i still couldn't ride it . especially with the paper bag over my head. it's so fugly it will be a museum piece for sure. [sm=lame.gif]

The jury is still out on this model.I had my Ultra parked right next to one, and I felt good throwing my leg over the saddle riding away.

Too much of a Ness influnce, every bike built by these characters looks the same; plus way over priced. I saw one this week-end; it should of had a recycle logo on it with all that ugly plastic!!!!!!!!!!
