Nice!

I like the V92 tanks, if something like that was on a Highball, take those massive pipes off and a smaller headlamp. That would look pretty cool. Others wil disagree....

A Gilroy Indian would chop better--Caleb Owen did one for his wife a few yrs. back.

To continue the above thought, If these things sold for Japanese money It'd be a different story.

Personally, i like that a lot of them have twin front discs , and those little v-shaped radiators but that's about it.

well the touring one looks like i big scooter hahah .

id ride one of those touring bikes......if this was the year 2185 and i was touring the galaxy

Simply not for me... I rode my buddys victory last year and I could not dig it. But the only other bike I have ridden at that point were all lean mean bare bones choppers.

Dude - this looks effin sweet.

Cool line to the tank over the top of the motor, almost digger style with the forks/front wheel. The swing arm looks a little off, but still cool. It looks very purpose driven. The way the tank and seat line up.......
I just don't get how dudes who supposedly like (love?) two wheeled contraptions, and who supposedly have grease and gas in their blood; cannot see the coolness here. The motors are good....it's American made.....you can take ANY motorcycle and nit pick it to death....but at the end of the day, it's still bad ass. Why? Cause it's a flippin motorcycle!

Is the new Ducati Pag. everyone's favorite bike? Probably not, but it's still cool. Honda 500? Cool. KTM 990? Cool.

Remember when you were a kid, and every motorcycle you saw on the road was like "Oh Oh Oh check it out!!!!" I still get that same feeling. It's a shame that many of you have lost that emotion regarding bikes.

That's the point Squash.....cutting edge design. Something that looks really unique, and sets itself apart.

People said the same thing about some of the cars of the 50's/60's. And now they're sought after classics.

Maybe not my thing, but... if that's what makes you get out n' start ridin'.... do it. More choices are always good IMO

Whoever is Victory's "Manager of Exhaust Design" should be freakin' fired... no, wait... should be freakin' taken out back and executed. Unless the "design criteria" was to create the most massive and massively fugly pipes possible... in that case he succeeded and should be rewarded with a promotion and massive salary increase.

My best friend recently bought a 2004 Victory... he loves it (but he has like zero sense of "style") for the mechanics and rideability but I've not yet taken a spin on it.

all the power of an american built v-twin, surrounded by all the plastic douchebaggery of a honda shadow. I don't even really hate them, I just don't get what they are goin for.

I'm not a big fan of touring bikes 'cause I always look/feel like I'm on vacation when I ride one. But, I took a Vision for a spin and it was like riding a bark-o-lounger. A spaceship bark-o-lounger. Forgot I was on a bike.

"Remember when you were a kid, and every motorcycle you saw on the road was like "Oh Oh Oh check it out!!!!"

True that. But when I was a kid there wasn't a bagger in every suburban garage. Motorcycles were kind of rare,
and one model didn't dominate the streets.
Unless it was Ironheads ridden by guys in white tshirts, with a pack of cigs rolled up in the sleeve :-)

I do like the Victory in WahunterinOk's photo. I think it needs a rear fender, though. I don't like the way it just stops at the seat... and I don't like the looks of the Victory swingarm, but if you fabbed a cool rear fender for that bike, I could really get into it.

In Australia,The Victory is cheaper than Harley-Davidson.by a few thousand dollars.i think I will buy a victory next,seems the good Ol H-D is more of a cheap chinese product,marked up,and badged as American.the HD has lost all that was good about it.

I love that they're an American made bike.....but they need to give the entire styling department ginormous wedgies. I'm not hatin...they just look dumb.

i was gonna type some long drawn out rant on here til i did a little looking. mad props to this man right here
