Indirectly related to the youtube video-I
think the Victory Hammer is one sexy bike too.

The riders should have traded bikes, the Victory rider may just be the better skilled, not a real test as taped, IMHO

Good looking bikes
There's been some chatter about that in the last couple of years on Victory forums. It's grown legs since the Cross Country and Cross Roads came out.
The Cross Country as shown in the OP video is a great bike. But in my experience the CC still isn't as good of an all-around motorcycle as the Vision, altough the CC may be better suited for police work.

Great link. I found myself watching as many as I could. Looks like Victory is gunning for those Police Departments.

Always liked the looks of the Harley Crossbones. Now it looks like Victory has one too. I LIKE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lothWhc1iXU

Heck, I'm sold. 
One of my coworkers has a Kingpin. Very nice bike. If I had to have a V-Twin for whatever odd reason I'd get a Victory before a Harley. Victory friend: long road trips, never breaks down. Harley friends: break down ALL THE TIME.

I like my Kingpin a lot. I have to say, it is the toughest motorcycle I have ever owned. They just don't break and have a ton of torque.
If you click the "Black" link in my sig its there.

Maybe when I'm getting ready to buy my Roadster I'll have to go flog some Victory bikes at the Missoula dealership. I'll strut in and tell them what they're up against and say, "Sell me." Then I'll go buy the Roadster.

Ron, that's a nice KP. It looks mostly stock. Have you done anything to it besides the backrest, bags & windshield?
BTW, I have a KP shock adjustment wrench if you're interested.

Its all stock. In the last few years I have really not needed or wanted to do anything to it. It has a high flow breather and pipes. I doubt I will change a thing. You already know how much thump they have. Really don't need to make it go any faster.
Thanks but the load is set just soft enough for my weight.
For around town have the smaller windshield and the bags come off in a few minutes.

I'm kind of surprised you guys like the Highball.  IMHO it's the dumbest bike Victory makes, although at a great price. I sat on one at the NYC MC show. Eh... to each his own.
