I saw the Victory bagger during Az Bike week.  It's a cross between a goldwing and the large bmw touring bike.  The Az dealer claims to have 41 refundable deposits when the bike is produced later this year.  It is an air cooled V twin with 6 speed .  I asked if it had ABS or linked brakes and was advised he is not allowed to give any specs on the bike as the final version has not yet been determined.  This bike has more plastic than Toys R Us
The picture posted early in this thread does not do it justice.  It is far uglier.

They are oviously trying to straddle the line between a Wing and a Glide. While we here love our Harley's, Most would admit that todays Wing's are fantastic machines. But a Wing and a Glide are two different beasts. If you were to cross them would you take the air cooled V-twin motor and Wing plastic body and lines? One could argue the opposite would be a better route.  Victory could have scooped HD by creating the liquid cooled v-rod road glide style machine, attracting both some Wingers and HD guys. This thing I could see a few yuppies and Beemer guys trying, but I wouldn't get off a new Wing or Glide for this.

I guess you summed it up pretty good.Wings are tempting with all the gizmos and stuff but some say why not ride a civic instead of a wing lol :drink:

I guess they started to design maxam 3000 as a jetski than a smart ass jap executive went like this "HEY!!!!!!WHAT IF WE PUT THIS THING ON TWO WHEELS AND CALL IT A TOURING BIKE??????"
I still cant belive someone actually spent some time designing this.

What is that, a rumble seat? I test rode a Victory Hammer this weekend. I thought it was a pretty nice machine.

The touring bike doesn't look to great from the pictures though. I thought it was a Vespa when I first saw it.

That looks like a Maxi-Pad 3000 and I know just who needs it too...................and it matches that POS Pontiac she had a few years ago.

More builders are now getting in on the upcoming so-called "bagger craze".  Look at this futuristic one coming later this year from Big Bear Choppers.  IMO it's not as fugly as the Victory Bagger, but close... http://www.bigbearchoppers.com/#
