Nice looking bike. 21st century and they don't put ABS on it.
I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.

#1 Totally agree a 2 into 1 would look a lot better.

It's not my style. Reaction on the Victory forums is ... mixed.

Well, Not a bad looking motorcycle.
I do admit to liking Victory bikes.
Having said that, I believe I would prefer a T'Bird.

I think I would rather a Victory or HD over a Tbird, still don't like the water cooling.

New wheels and paint does not a new model make.
It's almost like resources are being diverted to the other Polaris motorcycle...

They have a fair number of models available but seem to have this need to come out with what they call new. Not sure if that turns into sales or not.
The big reason to buy a Victory IMHO is the motor. You can always paint a bike, change out doodads, and put some wheels on it.

If you'd buy a Victory for the engine, you'd be better off with the Indian. Just my 2 cents.

You know I love the Indian but there is no, 0 evidence of extended trouble free operation on the Indian. I doubt it but the pushrod motor could turn into a money pit. Only a few years will tell.

I sat on the Gunner (High Ball, Judge, Vegas 8-Ball, and Boardwalk too)over the weekend at Seattle IMS, Victory was right next to Triumph. The Victory bikes were nicer to sit on than any of the other bikes in the whole show. I sat on the Gunner then the T-Bird; the Gunner was way nicer and more comfortable.  I know some like that Indian, I was excited to see them, and they are nice and pretty, but compared to other bikes, of the same size and class...wow, what at tank. I've been a fan of the High Ball for awhile and I've always like Victory's clean lines and styling (They all do resemble each other a bit) I was surprised how much nicer they were than every other brand. At least Victory, had every model of bike on display. Triumph disapointingly did not. No Speedmasters or Scramblers.  Of course, if I could, I'd like to take all of them on test rides and then I'd really know what I liked the best.

Like I have said, you need to bring that undependable startup bike to winter in Texas. I will take such good care of it.

This winter has been seriously painful for a rider with all the cold and snow around here. Come spring we'll be making up for lost time.
