If you own a Road King, Road King Custom, or Road King Classic...did you ever consider a Victory Cross Roads with hard or soft bags?

Nope. Next question...

Didn't even cross my mind. The big difference between the CR and the RK is one's a Harley and the other is not.

I like the looks of the Cross Roads but have never ridden one. The only thing I have heard from two buddies that ride Victory's is that there is not the aftermarket support that there is for Harley. Just makes it a little tougher to make the bike your own.

Victory is nothing more than a Skido without the skis... They should stick to atvs, jetskis and skidos. LOL

Why would you consider it??
So happy with my RK that I really wouldn't consider much else.

All anyone has to do is look at the re-sale values of both of the bikes, any bike as far as that goes. Harley usually wins hands down.

Then look at the availability of custom acc., brand or aftermarket. Harley wins again.

It was a no brainer for me. HARLEY WINS !!!!!

However I can understand someone who just can't afford a Harley getting something else. Heck, everybody deserves the opportunity to ride.

Oh yeah, NO I did not consider Victory.
