Terry,
Is there a Victory in your future    Whats this bike retail for 

Not me yet. My friend's is the standard one with tour pack Ithink he said about 23k

I thought Everybody took PayPal

Only those that matter

Sorry...I forgot that you're a Terry also!  

Yea, when I was looking, seems like it was $24,999 and I was going to add a tour pack, a rack, some lowers, a Stage 2 (?) exhaust system and ECM flash, and a couple of other do-dads.  All of that was between 2-3K if memory serves.

No, it's not a HD, and it doesn't sound like one at idle.  But, it's a well built bike with good suspension, good brakes, and a 106 C.I. Engine with 4 valves per cylinder and overhead cams.  Only one hole for fluids, if I'm not mistaken.  Dunlop Elite 3 tires.  I'm not saying that they NEVER have problems, but I think they are few and far between.  All things considered, if I were buying today, it would be really high on the list since my wife appears to be one who can take or leave being a BSR and when we were looking for a bike in 2011, she thought she was going to like it more than she actually does.  This bike is definitely more affordable for someone like me.  It would also make nice second bike for someone who had a bike like mine or a SEUC.

Do I love it enough to sell my SERGU and buy it...I don't think so.

Good Lookin Bike for sure. They haven't been around enough to get a reputation yet. It cracks me up all the guy's out there who own HD and bad mouth them on these forums or compare them to other manufactures. If you don't like your HD, sell it. I have owned several and have have had minimal to no problems so I guess I'm lucky. HD out numbers all other look alike's 1000 to 1 or better.

Love Harley Davidson.

No question on the numbers of bikes out there.  Victory will never even come close to HD with market share, but it's good to see a viable alternative that looks nice and priced decently.  It's definitely some competition for Harley's most popular bagger, the Street Glide.  A CVO SG....no way.  But something kind of "in between".

I know a guy with one of the early Victory bikes has over 100k and still no problems but it has a few oil leaks but this guy doesn't even wash it or take good care of it.

Ah ha!  That might be the root of the problems the Harleys have....we take too good of care of them!

I rented one of these 2 tears ago out in Laconia put a 1000 miles on it. It had a ton of very smooth power handled and felt great. If I was considering switching brands this would be the bike I would buy.

[Skuff]

Road up to Daytona yesterday and looked at this bike. It's my opinion that it looks better in a picture than in person.

[laylonlor]

you would have to take his fu**ing name off the side of the bike

[FlaHeatWave]

I would be curious to see how they hold their value?

[SDCVO]

Victory's in general do not keep their value well at all. Numbers don't lie and when they outsold to the degree they are by HD, they will never hold their value. When you go into a store and there are multiple bikes to chose from and they are offering great deals on them it just becomes math...
With all that being said, doesn't mean they are not great running/well built bikes. Same thing applies to most of the bikes that HD outsells 100 to 1. Though we all might hate to admit it, there is just something about a damn Harley which is why almost everyone on this forum just can't get away!

[laylonlor]

I rather ride  a goldwing  if I had to pick between the two

[Lever]

I'd rather walk

I have a buddy that rides a 07 kingpin, he likes it but is looking to move into a cross country so he and the better half will have more room. It'll be interesting to see how the resale actually is. One of my other buddies is looking at buying a cross country too, but have been telling him to buy HD because of the dealer network among other benefits IMO.  He says the HD is cost 2000 more than the Victory.
