......is badass and a great direction for the Victory motor company.
If they improve their noisy driveline I'm going to pick one up.
10,000,050 guys with the same bike by the way.

... i too have test ridden the Vision. Liked the acceleration, liked the 'skateboard' footboards, liked the stability @ speed .............and really liked getting on my Road Glide after the test was over.

There is definitely a Victory Vision in my future.
...after I die and become reincarnated as Captain James T. Kirk and need a space ship to cruise around on.
Cross Roads is ugly. Look at that round engine compartment from the side. Yuck.

I like the Cross Roads. It's a pretty good looking ride, and American. I don't like the look as much as HD, especially the motor profile, but the performance is better box-stock without having to spend on HD hop-up parts. HD will probably never lose its hard-core faithful to Victory, but it better start giving more value / performance as standard features or I think it will start to lose some customers. You can fly your American flag on a Victory too.
Let me start out by saying I love my 2009 FLHX and would not want a Victory or any other bike and I prefer the looks of my HD over any of the Victories. However Harley needs to look out becuase Victory really seems to be putting allot of thought into the design their bikes.
A friend just showed me the 2010 Victory Touring bike CD. The Victory has more HP and Torque, oil cooling, inverted front forks, a unique rear suspension, a pretty comfy looking seat, adjustable handlebars so the bike can be tailored to the rider, more storage capacity, a pretty cool looking trip computer, a way to plug an Ipod or MP3 into the bikes stero as well as other well thought out design touches all for less $$ than the HD.

All I was trying to point out is that HD had better get off their rear ends and start thnking a little more about their bikes and the features. Other things standard on the Victory are LED tailight, LED turn signals, dual 55 watt bulb headlight all for less than the HD.

For someone who is either done with the whole customizing thing or never really wanted to in the first place the Victory Cross bikes are just the ticket.
I'm not quite there yet but I'm getting there.

I came over to Harley from sportbikes. My last rocket was a Hayabusa. I know all to well that there are better performing/featured bikes out there but I don't care. I wanted a Harley. I believe folks who buy Harleys (to ride, not park in the garage to look at) feel the same way... It's not about numbers, it's the ride.
