I'd like to try out the Victory Cross Country...

I'll ride anything that someone will trust me with.....bikes that is

The cool thing about testing bikes is the opportunity not to spend my hard earned money to find out a bike is not for me. It has saved me a lot of $$$ over the years....

It's one of the bikes I'll be test riding later on.

tell me when, and share your impresssions, and a pic of you on the bike wouldn't go unappreciated either

hehe!

Gummi, have you gone to look at one of them in the dealership? I been to the local Victory shop a couple times in the last week drooling over the Hammer 8-Ball and have stopped to look at that a couple times. I'm just leery of the fork-mounted fairing, I think the Road Glide spoiled me and I just don't want to deal with a moving fairing on anything. Haven't ridden it...yet...but if I do end up riding it this Saturday I'll definitely let you know what I think. Their entire line-up is supposedly all very well engineered, so I'm just hoping I like that fat 250mm rear tire and I can get me a Hammer 8-Ball. I love the way it looks, but not sure if I'll like the way a rear tire that wide feels on the pavement.

And of course, I'd rather have the 6-speed transmission that comes standard on the Hammer and Hammer S, but would rather not pay the extra $5,000 to get it and then have to pay extra to black it all out. Decisions, decisions.

I got to go on road test last year with

Suzuki Boulavard

Yamaha 1700 cruiser

Harley rocker custom

and the entry level Victory 8 ball

I have to tell you that the Zook won based on all round points but the best performing bike was without doubt the Victory. I was really impressed at how well it handled and was the only bike comfortable over 160 KMH.

The price here is a real put off though as they attract a full import duty and are hellish priced.
