I looked at the Victory's more than a few times, while I had my GW. I just never liked the round cylinder heads. Also, I found it interesting that for all the bikes they claim to sell, I've only ever seen one on the road....

I know 2011 Cross Roads can have soft or hard bags...is there a big difference between the CR and RK?
I never even considered it and yes there is a huge difference between them. The Roadking is a Harley, and the cross roads is not.

Default victory

owning a victory is like sitting on the bench during a football game...you might have the jersey on but you don't have the ***** to go out there and play with the big boys...Just my opinion.

I just can't get passed the funny looking engines on the Victory's. That was the guys 3rd post. I wonder what forum he came from? Or maybe a Victory salesman that doesn't have anything else to do.

No. But I did consider a Moto Guzzi California Vintage.
