I don't like the look... but the bike and the functions offered are interresting...

So, fire the designer but keep the functions...

Several things come to mind even if you liked the bike. One is dealer network and Indy shops who will work on it. If you need maintenance or repair while on the road, who would you go to? Aftermarket parts support is growing but miniscule compared to HD. Then there would be the constant argument trying to convince people that just because you bought a vision, you are not gay.

I don't like the bike itself... I like the functions offered with the bike and I like the 106 cubic motor.

The design is soo ugly... beurkkk .. in some ways, it looks too close to the BMW K1200LT.

In all cases, not for me as there are no Victory dealers in Belgium and the price will certainly be too high. ( It's already the case with HD's models... for example : an FLHR 2009 costs 29.000 $ stock in Belgium !!! )

The front crash bar-floor board combo is just a little too cutesy for me.

I do appreciate the engine though...and the lines are good, it just seems they are to the extreme..but I am sure there is a market there.

Has anyone seen any pictures of the 2010 Kingpin Tour? This is the bike that had the most potential to look like a real bagger. The cross country series seem to be more aimed at rg/sg guys.

with the addition of the cross country and cross road
the king pin tour and the vision street are both gone for 2010

Man, thats a bummer....
When they had the old TC92 they were getting real close and then the Kingpin came out...6 speed...front and rear floorboards...tourpack...but really small side bags.
They just needed to split or lower the exhaust and put bigger side bags on along with making it more after-market friendly and they could have had a real nice bike. Nice engines....
I am SO glad I got my RKC and didn't wait around another year to see if they would wise up..
