Nobody will compete with Harley's present core market until they produce a big cruiser with a decent stereo system. I'm absolutely shocked that Triumph and Victory haven't entered this market and personally think they might even be a bit late to the dance at this point.




Paul, while I admit the only thing I know about the H-D Road Glide's stereo system is that Motorcyclist magazine mentioned how much they liked that bike's sound system in their recent comparison test between it and the new Honda F6B Gold Wing derivative, I have taken the Victory Cross Country for a demo ride and was quite impressed with its sound system. Plus, the storage capacity is a bit larger on the Victory Cross Country than on the Road Glide also.

And so, I'm not really sure why you included mentioning Victory in your statement here, as I believe at least that motorcycle company has your concern covered.

(...though I agree with your assessment that for the last few years, Bloor's boys have missed the opportunity to make the T-Bird into a viable full-on retro Touring Bagger alternative to these H-D and Victory offerings)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
