i've ridden a couple of them; the vegas and the kingpin, and they were no slouches in power. they had crisp and responsive handling with no hesitations. i pushed it quite hard on the interstate, and the engine took it with no problems.
i'd call them a poor man's harley on the 8-ball and vegas, but the kingpin was just about as much as a harley road king.
seems to me since u cant do any test rides with just a permit, ur jealous. they're a nice bike, but not exactly cheap. biggest thing i dont like about them is....they look almost exactly alike except for the kingpin.

Surprised you don't get a violation.
I guess we're just too nice.
Or old enough to not let children bother us.
I never was really interested in Victorys. My curiosity only goes as far as wondering how well they run in cold weather, since they are built by a snowmobile company. I never tried one, but have a co-worker that really likes his. He used to ride an HD, but he likes this one better.
I wish I had an imagination that would let me name myself after a motorcycle, and a new model at that. Life may be simpler.

You obviously have not kept up too closely with victorys styling. Their Arlen Ness custom called the eight ball is a pretty sweet looking bike, and the price is right in line for a 100 c.i. engine v-twin.

I have a friend that bought one and really likes it.Myself I dont like the looks of them at all. They have an imitation Harley look to them like the jap bikes. I've never rode one so I don't know about that part. If it's not a Harley I have no desire to ride one. But to each his own, some people love them and I have no problem with that.

They don't make anything that I'm interested in buying, nor anything that I can afford anyway, LOL. I prefer enduro-touring style for looks.
I have no experience with Victory motorcycles, so I won't bad-mouth them further.

They have the best air-cooled engine in America (if in antique tech. 107 cid engines turn you on) , and styling that almost stands out among all the low, fat tire "customs". You have to look for the air cleaner cover to tell it from HD, Cobra, Iron Horse and all the other ME 2 look-alikes.

Brand baiting isn't cool. On the other hand, spelling, punctuation, and grammar are cool.

Victory bikes are nice. Much better than Harleys.

Yeah they are WAY OUT of your price range.

calling someone else out over the internet, especially over grammar, is petty and downright cowardly.
