I think Victory has a lonnnnnnnng road to go to earn a spot at the touring table. I test rode the Hammer and found it very competive and fun. I haven't tested the Vision but don't see myself even test riding one anytime soon.

If I wanted that style of touring bike I'd go with one that's been around for years and stood the test of time. Goldwing.

But I don't, so I won't.

Love my SG!

I agree with Phurion........If I ever go the big touring bikeroute and become a long haul rider I'd probably get a Goldwing. Sorry to say I'd probably go this route before theHD Ultra. Just my .02.

Good reviews won't sell an ugly bike. As stated above if distance touring is your only concern and looks and style mean nothing then there are other proven rides. I don't see the victory setting any sales records anytime soon.

Seen quite a few 08 Ultras out but not one of those Ugly Victories . I think they make a good bike but they need to go back to school for styling. I see no victoriy in my garage in the near or distant future.
