And the Victory is basically a snow blower with wheels. I went to look at it and its all Plastic. Bags and all are plastic. Its really cheesy looking up close. When i was at the dealership I was thinking to myself, what was I thinking to even consider getting rid of my V-Rod for this bike instead of the 14' Street Glide. So much happier. Victory is Good from far but Far from good... LOL. Who cares what horsepower their bikes make. They are all Wanna Be bikes. As they say, Harley Davidson is one of the best names in the world.

I don't know why but a bike has to look good to me for me to be interested in it.I really want to like Victory there's allot to like; more power, better handling more modern engine design etc.BUT I just can't get past the looks of the thing.I actually liked the original pre-Ness 92C but once Arlen Ness came on board they never looked right.Plasticy,cartoonish styling gone just a bit too far.I thought I could live with the Cross Country but once I saw one up close all that plastic looks terrible if it's not spotless and highly polished.I think they're trying too hard to not look like a Harley.I think the Indians look good. If they come out with a decent looking tour pack and they're still around in a few years they might get my money.
