Mine would probably be a Victory of some sort, but NOT the Vision.

Ok I'm not trying to start a war here, but if you weren't to buy a HD bagger, what would you buy?
All of these foreign selections. Ever heard the saying: "always go forward in life, never backward"? Nothing compares to a Harley except one other 'American' motorcycle company..... BIGDOG. If I ever consider trading in my 2008 Road Glide, it would be for one of their choppers.

Tough call. I'm hooked on baggers, so probably a Wing or to K1200LT. I looked hard at the Wing before I bought my Ultra, but it just isn't made for tall riders. My shins were touching the lower fairing, and I just didn't think I could be comfortable on the long haul. To me, that's the real beauty of Harleys is that there's just so much aftermarket stuff to make them fit. I just put on the Kuryakyn EZ Shift and brake lever, and they really help to accomodate my size 14 feet.

Probably an Indian after the kinks are all worked out.&nbsp\\; Although I just test rode a Victory Vision last week, and that's a pretty sweet ride.&nbsp\\; Don't care much for the look, but it handles pretty nice.

fk Indian&nbsp\\; and their thirty-thousand dollar&nbsp\\; price tag, they can go **** in the wind.&nbsp\\; Even if I had the money to dump&nbsp\\; them bastards dont need that much for a bike. Etiher a Triumph rat chopper,&nbsp\\; maybe a victory,&nbsp\\; or&nbsp\\; just&nbsp\\; a used&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Ford Escort, Geo Metro&nbsp\\; or some other&nbsp\\; mpg oriented car.
