My thoughts....
Not for me personally, but what I do like to see is a motorcycle builder trying something different. I know a lot of people on here aren't fond of the Victory's, but I like the fact that some of these builder's are trying something different. Other builders need to try new fairing and bag designs so as to not copy Harley, but still have to get buyers to at least take a look and consider purchasing.

When the new models come out, many on here complain that there is nothing new. Of course not, HD has not changed the aesthetics of their bikes forever, but why should they if they are still the most popular and people are still buying.

I like the idea of taking chances on new designs, but I don't think I would ever want this one.

Just my opinion.

The first thing you can't argue with is that it isn't trying to imitate anything else. It is unique. I'm not too crazy about that auxillary fuel tank. They are touting it as a type of bagger but I don't see any provision for extra luggage. The guys who designed it must not be married.


I like it. I also like the Victory Vision but I'm the type that just likes to be different.

Looks like the off-spring of a Victory Vision that mated with a custom chopper. I am not liking this one.

However, I have seen a couple of chopper baggers that looked totally killer.

I like it. I'd like to see it with a fairing similar to the one on the Vic cross country.

It's really tough to come up with something fresh. If it's too different it gets ridiculed, if it's the same old thing, it's called derivative and a copycat design.
