Default First Sighting
On my way home last night saw my first Victory Vision on the road. There for a moment I thought I was in a Jetsons cartoon episode, until I snapped back to reality. That is one FUGLY ride.

Hot Bike Baggers magazine recently did a review of that crazy bike. They said with all the plastic it reminded them of a scooter. I'm not impressed with Victory bikes...period!

I said it before and I'll say it again......I can't get over the "Blender Looking" jugs and the "Mattel Hot Wheels"inspired primary. Even the big gap at the goose neck and tank.


The Vision??? I think they owe Suzuki some coin. I think they ripped off their 650 scooter.

I stopped at a victory dealer to see if it looked any better than in the pictures. As bikes sometimes do. It didn't. It was just as ugly! I am sure there are people who really do like the looks of it.

I haven't seen one in person yet. Looks like something off of a Batman movie!

Looks like a Transformer. I think you twist it into a semi or a jet or something? More than meets the eye....
