Quote: ... However as Ron mentioned, anyone interested in getting one of the first issued of these babies will almost assuredly run into the standard practice that ALL dealerships pretty much adhere to, and that is whenever a sought-after new vehicle hits the market, they'll add all the available options to 'em and thus jacking up the price another 4 or 5 Grand, and then tell ya that if YOU don't want it, they have a long list of people who do, so "take it or leave it".
I'm not so sure about that. Victory has done a good job of offering a basic machine with the option of adding the parts and accessories that you want - at a price of course. Sure, they sometimes also offer a "LE" model with all the bells and whistles, but the base model is usually readily available. I think Indian wants to make the point, that "see, we made a motorcycle under $20K" Just my 2 cents on it. We shall see.
