Glad you like but it is just way to fugly for me. JM2C. I do like some of the other Victory models IF Harley-Davidson ever went out of business which I don't ever see happening.

that is true BUT that $$$$ sure the heck isn't staying in the USA but going back to the corporate office in China for Honda, at least it does stay here in USA for Harley....and yes they are having more parts made overseas which pisses me off!!

Agreed,a little hard on my eyes too at first. Performance,cost, quality,comfort got me looking thru rose colored glasses though.

Heritage Softail Classic, too bad you left it off your check list survey.

Too bad I can't vote on the best touring bike I'v owned.

Let us know what you get for that Victory in 15 months and 26k. Let us know where you get it fixed when you are out on the road with a problem. Let us know what the cost per mile is in comparison with Harley. Let the riders on the Victory forum know that your on your way to the newby board. Don't let the door hit you...., you know the rest.
