Wow, not much love for the X-1... sadly, I'm in the same boat as well.
Like many of you said, when Victory first came out, they were the IMO "Technological Harley-Davidson" now H-D has caught up and Victory seems a little less interesting. I always wonder, what happened to the AMAZING color schemes they used to do? Back in 2006-10 I looked forward at shows to see the Victory paint jobs, amazing stuff, industry leading innovation. Now, it's matt color this or flat that and most in monotone or just black... blah.
Don't get me wrong, a black bike is great, but from a company that went from "any color you want in one paint scheme" to Ford Model T color palate... well, it's depressing.
Ok, so on with the Victory Magnum X-1 Stealth Edition... the Magnum was pretty interesting when they introduced it, a monster front wheel size, super customization, big a$$ stereo system... it's great. But since then it's lost a little luster, in fact, Victory has as well with the same ol' same ol' V-Twin stuff... whatever happened to the R&D on their inline-4 or the parallel twin back in 2004?
The Magnum is a good bike, no doubt, but it need to be polished to shine and for that, it's an Uncool in the Stealth form.
...although it would be a fail if it wasn't for the 10 speaker audio system...that's just nutz and cool. lol!
