Hmmmmm. Victory will never have the provenance of Triumph, and is a HD wannabe V twin me too bike, so yes, I guess it blows. Where I see the styling of the Triumph's classic, and attract others with the classic look and the heritage, I think the Victory will become a dated bike that people look back and say, oh yeah, that was that 00's Ness look faux custom look in vogue back then.
So for me, a bike with a clear earned persona, a heritage, a true mark, or...a new bike with a desire to be something special, but has yet to earn its mark. I choose Triumph.
