My opinion is that bike is butt arse ugle, I'm sorry. However I also don't like anything scifi and it does have a scifi look about it. I can see where others with different taste would find this apealing.

Remember that old comic book and bad movie "Ghost Rider"?

I agree. To be fair to Victory, I need to see it in person. I don't like it in the pictures (....but I don't have much room to talk about fugly bikes, I own a V-strom fer pete's sake!!!)
I think that it looks to "Buck Rogers" to me....earlier in the year I was at a dealer...and this sales guys pulls me into his office...and had me watch this promo video for the bike. After that he says "so are you ready to put down a deposit?" I was like ummm NO. Then he asks me what I am riding...I tell him an 03 HD bagger...and he had the nerve to tell that it was not a true touring bike like this new Victory! I laughed so hard I almost cried.........
What were they thinking? It's uglier than ugly. I remember reading a "letter to the editor" in a bike magazine that had just reviewed the Victory. Some guy said that from the front it looked exactly like "Bozo the Clown". I fell off the couch laughing because that's exactly what it does look like with those weird headlights.
