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 don't like the pics. It looks like some kinda space age two wheeled Winnebago.

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.

That sure is one ugly looking machine.

The poll needs one more option somewhere between "I like it" and "ugly as hell"...
I think it's a look that could grow on me.
