I like the Victory bikes. Id buy one of those over a Harley just for the looks of the bikes.
Nice! What year is it? Which one of the models is it?
Is this an addition to the Speedy?

Is that front fender ribbed? It's a nice touch...

Aren't we in the "other bikes" section???
BTW I like the Victory bikes as well. They have done some very cool stuff like the ribbed fenders and tank. As well as nice paint.

I went on a 300 mile ride Saturday with some of my coworkers and one of them has a blue '06 Kingpin. Very nice looking bike. Seemed to scoot right along, too.

one of my friends has the Arlen Ness version can't say I ever cared much for Victory but would take one over a new Harley any day. His seemed to scoot OK never broke down when I was with him except when he forgot to remove the lock from the rear rotor and bent it so bad it blued in 1 spot after a couple miles. We had to take the caliper off to limp home.

Thanks guys.
I walked in expecting to buy a blue Vegas but it just didn't work for what we wanted - a good 2-up touring cruiser. The red one came out of left field and hey, it matches my Speedy. lol
The dealer in Lebanon, NJ bent over backwards to make the sale and gave me a very fair price. No nonsense or BS. Very sincere and accomodating.

One more day, Kevin. Will you be able to sleep tonight? It looks fast just sitting there.

EXCELLENT choice in color.  Nice bike. The Triumph dealer in Chattanooga is also a Victory dealer. I look at them every time i go in there. I like them.

Thanks guys. I rode it home today. Anyone want to buy a Speedmaster?  Just kidding. But if you don't want to wait for the rumored Triumph big twin, the Victory rocks. Gobs of power and handles NICE.

Do the owners of Victory bikes have a website anything like ours to address their bikes? Just curious.
