I give you the Suzuki GS1200SS...
The Yamaha MT-01...
The Yamaha TDM900...
The Honda CB1300S
And the Kawasaki KLV1000...
What, don't they let you have anything fun over there?

No MT-01! No XJR's! How do you stay sane?

I ride my oldass Virago at normal speeds... :laughing:
We're the first ones to starve
We're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie in the sky
But we're always the last
When the gravy's shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

That's an interesting idea - seeing as how the Sporty is Harley's best selling model, it would make sense for Victory to build something to compete with it and try to grab some market share.

It looks like a modern Radian.

The funny thing is that the Fazer was released the year before the Radian....

Well thats two of us that agree, now if Victory would only listen. I guess they are still a fairly new company, so give a couple more years and I think they will start. Or at least I hope they do.
