Hey, good for you!! At least for me it ain't about the brand, it is all about the ride. It is your dime and I hope you like the bike and enjoy it for a long time. I can never get over the guys that enjoy cutting down someone if they ain't riding a Harley. I ride with all kinds and wave to every biker I meet on the road. Hope to see you out there.
Victory Vision "Why knock it, when you can knock it over!"
You can't knock it over. The floorboards are designed to catch it.
I can't get past the looks myself, but it is one hell of a machine. Very powerful, very comfortable(says the wife, she went for a ride and I didn't want to ride it). The technology is way more advanced then our Harleys unfortunately. And the ones I know who have went to that dark side won't be coming back.
I'm keepin the Harley but if it wasn't so damn ugly I may consider one.
well im a little biased, but the Vics are very powerful, very fast and almost bullet proof. my KingPin gets crowds around it everywhere i go. i have taken 3 first place in the american sport touring catagories and 2, 1st in shows. but i was going to design my next Vic to look more like a SG, sooo why not just buy an SG? i did. ive riden the Vision 8 or 9 times and i LOVE the bike, every time i go by the local shop to buy parts for my Vic i drive a new bike. but its not an around town bike! its a cruiser...... they do come with reverse as an option. they have great storage. the only 2 things are......(1) i would only buy the corey ness Vision. (black and blue and purple slammed and plain bad ***) and 2, and most importantly....VICTORY CUSTOMER SERVICE SSSSUUUCCCKKKSSS! they a group of money hungry douc*e bags that couldnt care less about you after they get your cash. not to mention that if you need work done to it dealerships are closing right and left. plus most of them suck as well.....period. after i bought mine and joined the Vic Riders of America, they took my money and never even once sent me any of the benefits i had paid for. no card, no posters, no magazine no warranty info....etc etc etc. no answers to phone messages, emails and sent messages. all totaling 39 over 3 years. and even when i told them i wanted to buy a new vision but wouldnt until i heard something from them.......again (3 times) i got nothing. so to sum up, i love Victory motorcycles. i will never sell my victory, im customizing it to be my bar hopper/ local rider (just find yourself a local Vic guru) but dont expect any support from the company itself. and if for some bizzare reason it does break down....hope its in a bigger city where there may be a reputable dealer. good luck. ride safe
oh yeah one other thing, they design their bike so they are obsolete in 3-5 yrs. literally, they dont carry parts for them after this length of time. so have some back ups. and the parts are unbelieveabley priced....in tank fuel pump......$745, custom dunlop tires made only for victory....size 180 $245...ness stops making parts for them after 2 yrs. they are crappy parts anyway. HD doesnt stand for hundred dollars. to me it stands for Hot Dam, at least its cheaper than the victory parts!
