Personally I don't mind radical designs it seems in the spirit of custom bikes but if you want to be radical then you better not do ugly and that is what the guys who designed the Vision have done. I like Victory bikes in general, guy I see around has a tricked out Jackpot, very nice and I like the look of the KingPin tourer. The Ultra does not float my boat for looks but it's way better looking than the Vision and outright performance is secondary in the cruiser world in my view. Good luck and enjoy your new ride.

I test rode one and also got the shirt. It wasn't all that bad really. But I ended up with the 2008 Ultra. After riding metrics for years, I got tired of the "we have to order it" line on parts etc. Most of the time Harley has it in stock. That is sooooo nice. I have a friend with a Kingpin and it is a great bike, he loves it. Good luck with your purchase.

Eddie -

two words - Way Cool!

If I run across a used Anniversary Model w/ low miles - I will be all over it!

Ride Safe!

If anyone is interested in an 08 Ultra, which is still under factory warranty and only has 6,370 miles on it, email me at Pears2@aol.com for pictures and complete details. (NO TRADES)

Thanks for all the positive inputs on the Victory. For those with the negative attacks....thanks. Got the Harley out this weekend and rode it around. It's going to be hard to get rid of the HD. Not sure this is a good move, still considering selling it. Have had a couple people interested, everytime someone comes over to look at the bike, I get a harsh feeling in the pit of my stomach. Maybe this is a sign telling me not to sell.

Stay Safe
Eddie
