Interesting new twist . . . GUNNY TO THE TORRES FAMILY: ‘GET OFF THAT HARLEY-DAVIDSON, NUMB-NUTS!’ I have yet to meet anyone who had purchased a Victory that is not thrilled with it. Interesting campaign. | ||

Entertaining for sure! | ||

Follow-up feature like this can be a very effective advertising technique. (Notice the fine print disclaimer at the end of the ad states that Gunny's arm-hair is ECE-rated like crash armor.) | ||

Court-- I got a '13 Cross Country Tour last year, and, compared to my 2 previous ElectraGlide Classics that I put a combined 140-150K miles on, it is far and away the superior bike. Thrilled, though, I dunno... there are some nits I'd pick, but then I have yet to ride the 'perfect' motorcycle. | ||

Oh wow, Surround Sound!!!! I'm always pleased to see my wife's butt happy too. I ride solo mostly, can you tell? | ||

Bring on the AX! I'm looking forward to the EBR "touring" model. Maybe we can get Gunny Ermey on one... "ride one and you will ride some wheelies!" | ||

Having Gunny as your spokes-marine is a coup! Out-Standing enjoyed the commercial | ||

I'm looking forward to the EBR "touring" model. +1  I would dearly love to see an EBR version of the S3-T. | ||

Great ad! While I personally can't stand the styling of the Vision, they make some models that appeal to me for their categories. I know some owners who are very pleased with them too. A few years back I was staying in Robbinsville, NC and three Victory engineers were riding from FL to WI and stayed overnight at our hotel. I had some great discussion with them that evening. I wish they made a sport touring model. I do appreciate that they are focused on doing their market segment very well before even considering broadening their market segment though. | ||

>>> I have yet to meet anyone who had purchased a Victory that is not thrilled with it. I concur with Court on the Victory. I've owned two and have another Vegas... now the Jackpot in my gunsights. Y'all should probably know that I offed the Cross Country last year and replaced it with a KLR. ARRRGH!!! some of you might bemoan. But, I've never been a bagger guy and for the life of me I don't know why I bought another one. The first one was a new ST1300 and I owned it less than a year. I tried to fall in love with the Cross Country but just could not. It had nothing to do with the bike or the quality of the machine but everything to do with me and where I'll be riding in the years to come. You double or maybe even triple the number of riding opportunities with a dual-sport. I do however miss the raw muscle of the Vic so I'll be adding a Jackpot to the stable very soon. Maybe in 20 years or so I might consider another bagger and if I do it'll be a Vic... again. | ||

re; City's post, That's pretty exciting that Zach and Victory are beginning to break out into the handling and performance arena. It looks like they have a ways to go, however. With that front end the bike looks half done to me. Zach needs to understand that in this new market segment, less bling and more handling is where it's at. Suspension, brakes and chassis geometry are the package. A re-work of the rear end and engine is a great start but not the whole package. jmo | ||

Last time I attended IMS in Long Beach CA, I spent the better part of the day test riding all the Victory bikes. Every one of them was a league apart from the Harleys I rode. | ||

Wasn't Robert Pandya one of the CISsies back in the 90"s? | ||

Not impressed with the looks of the Victory. That's my opinion, your may vary. | ||

I have to agree with Paint_shaker about not being crazy about how the Victories look. They have a sort of art deco look to me. That being said, I've done two test rides on Victories and loved the way they rode. With tons of torque, they accelerate like a rocket ship. They're heavy enough to be smooth on the interstate and the ergonomics of the bike were way above average. When the time comes I can buy a big touring bike, they will be very high on my list. Smooth, powerful and comfortable is a hard combination to beat. Yeah, they're kinda ugly but so am I... | ||

the V 92 was fork truck ugly but was a very good ride | ||

My buddies and I test drove a few different models. All of us complained about the clunky transmission. I really liked riding on the Vision but admit it looks a little strange. | ||

Victory did have some problems in the past with their transmission. In the last 2 or 3 years they did some work and it's much better than it used to be. The last one I rode the transmission was 100% better than it used to be. If I had any cash, I'd get a Cross Roads. |
