That is good news, but I'd still wait for the new Trumph given that Victory's are generally more expensive than Harley's...

I see the are still hanging onto that 'swoopy droopy' Ness look. If they would fire him they would do better.

I still can't get past the engine looking like a pair of Birkenstocks stuffed in a frame. Might be a great bike but it really needs some design help.


A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

Last time I was at a Victory dealership (which btw has now closed dont know if they went under or moved) was to test ride a Vegas 8 ball. It realy was a nice ride. But looking
around the show room, they had one of those "Ness Messes"
all decked out with little foo foo designs carved into it.
I thought to myself "Why?" I mean it looked like somthing
the "50 ft Woman" would wear on a neckless.Big peice of jewlery.

Went back there last month to see if I could get an in person look at the Vision. As I said place was closed.

Jack, not sure where you are in CT but there are Victory dealers in Winsted, Stafford Springs and Griswold, plus the ones nearby in MA & NY.

Not only will they let you look at a Vision, they'll toss you the keys to that or any other Victory you want to test ride. Enjoy!
