For that size engine and NO heat problems it's not bad. Harley better start paying attention to the competition or they will lose more market share. NO, I won't sell my SG to get one, been riding HD for 45 years.

Cory Ness is a little shrimp. Not even close to an average size guy.

What makes you think they don't have heat issues? I've read where the Vision is hot to ride. Just curious........

You better be carefull, I don't think Victory is trouble free. Make sure you check out your dealer's shop reputaion. I've read about a lot of bad dealer shops, is all I'm saying.

There's some things I like about it. The LED turn signals are cool, and the instrumentation looks nice. I had a Jackpot a few years ago and while it was a sweet looking bike, it rode like crap and the Polaris shined through in several places.

Okay I was wrong, Cory Ness is Arlen Ness's son. Zack Ness is Arlen Ness's grandson.
I though Cory was the grandson, he is not.
I believe though that shrimp in the picture is neither one. I do think Zack is smaller than normal though.

It is ok but the rake is too much for me and the pointed *** on it kills the look for me personally.
Make the back end less pointy/spacey and get rid of some of the rake and throw away that ugly front crashbar and I would have one sitting in the driveway tomorrow.

Victory is not going to give much competition to HD. Reason is, Victory sells to the nonHD crowd. You don't hear many HD riders willing to give up their harleys for a victory.
Also Victory keeps changing things on their bikes every couple of years. There is no soul in them, no real past and no compatibility with their bikes through the years. They are no better then the average Jap bike.
