Thinking about a Victory...

#1 Unread post by kevans »

Just getting back into motorcycle game. Had been a dedicated Harley guy, but have been hearing a lot about the Victory Vision. Started doing some digging and came across this image of Sonny Barger on a Victory Vision. Says he's now a Victory Vision guy.

So what are your thoughts on this? Is Victory the real deal? Are Harley's more an image than an actual good ride? Is Sonny on to something or just on something?

Gummi its time to just be honest.

Harleys are all image and basically suck as motorcycles.

If you even look at anything else you will realize this immediately, so its best you don't even entertain one, as it will only dim your view of what a bike can be. :laughing:

I think they're nice, and if they had something entry level I would have considered them. But, they didn't. Harley-Davidson did. Are Harley's more of an image? Yes and No. To imply they are more then an image then an actual good ride seems to be a fallacy to me. The company is really an amazing imagine and a good ride.
