The website for Victory's new touring bike went up this morning: http://www.polarisindustries.com/en-us/Victory/Vis ion/Experience/ Probably not a bike many Buell riders would be interested in, but they have definitely gone to the radical end with the design of this bike. | ||

Thats a BUNCH of plastic...... i'd like to ride it | ||
| Aeholton |
Kinda looks like something you would get if a Road King and K1200LT could mate. | ||
| Ulyssesguy |
it looks like a v twin powered goldwing! | ||
| Glitch |
Yep radical for sure. I'll had it to 'em just for going so far away from (their) conventional design. Taking chances...I like it. The bike, I'd like to see one up close. Ride it?  | ||

Gotta hand it to them, they are swinging for the fences. Too bad it didn't have that Guzzi style engine setup though... What the heck is that huge circular hole in the middle of the headlight though? Grenade launcher? | ||
| Mkenn |
It looks like a sea-doo with wheels. | ||
| Bake |
Thats the maximum ugly allowed on one motorcycle! I am sure there is a market for them though. | ||
| Johnnymossville |
It's a Giant Vespa! | ||
| Bomber |
21st century Vincent Balck Knight -- great idea -- it'd be nice to see the GoldWing have some competition -- not my cuppa, but an interesting looking effort -- good for them! | ||
| Gowindward |
Very Bold! Cool that they are not trying to follow someone else's styling and stepping out on their own path. | ||
| Jaimec |
I like it. About time someone built a V-Twin tourer that doesn't look like something from the fifties... | ||
| Aydenxb9 |
My Gawd, that thing is huge! It's, it's,.....Rune-like! There'll be people who'll want it. Long live the chrome plated phalic!!!! | ||

Probably not a bike many Buell riders would be interested in Nope. I like it. A lot. | ||

That just has to tbe the ugliest production motorcycle on the planet! Yhey have obviously painted them in muted colours in the hope that nobody notices them! I would rather buy a used Korean car than endure having to be seen on one of these. Shame really as Victory had been doing some nice stuff recently. | ||

Looks to have "Arlen Ness" lines to it. Ugly as all hell but theres an ass for every seat. | ||
| U4euh |
Love the rear tail light, but man them was some straight roads on the video.hmmmmmmm | ||

It reminds me of the Honda PC800 Pacific Coast , which was a very functional cycle with a few visual oddities. I would take it for a test ride... | ||
| Crusty |
Although I think it looks as ugly as a bucket of smashed a$$4oles, there is something about it that appeals to me. I'll have to look at one at the IMS show tomorrow. | ||
| Rainman |
Got a friend with a PC 800. Great bike for town and touring. This one looks a whole lot bigger. If it handles like a new Wing that'd be great but it looks like it handles more like a Boss Hoss | ||

I'm digging that new Victory Vision. I called the local dealer (friends of mine) and they do not have a list price as of yet, nor do they know when they might get one in the showroom. Like I said I like it from what I see on the net. Two thumbs up to Victory for marching to their own drum beat. | ||

According to their website, it will be on display at the IMS shows in NYC this week end and Cleveland, OH next week. | ||
| Hughlysses |
The official unveiling is at the IMC in NYC tomorrow. Good article on the bike here: http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page.aspx?Ar ticleID=4209&Page=1 Evidently it won't go into production for a few months and won't be available in the dealerships before fall 2007. They have not released data on engine size or horsepower. It'll be interesting to see if this bike prompts Harley to release a V-Rod engined bagger as has been suggested for some time. | ||

There's been a LOT brewing here on our shores in just the past 5 to 10 years. Like a [finally!] waking beast. Buell Motocysz Fischer now this new Victory You even gotta count in the OCC et'all crowd From all apperances, it looks like we're finally moving, and forward. That's collectively speaking tho. The mothership still has one boot firmly stuck in the mud (style-wise). | ||

JohnnyMoss...you stole my thoughts it needs a theme song...like the Batman music and then na-na-na-na-na-na-na SUPER SCOOTER. I think they should call it Electrolux or Hoover or Oreck...something that sucks that much needs a name worthy of that kind of sucking power. wait heres a great name the Turbo Turd...looks like crap...but it is pretty fast. | ||
| Xbrad9r |
That bike looks so gay (i guess i should try to be P.C. and say non-heterosexual), i bet the "queer eye for the straight guy" crew was part of the development team. Man, if you watch the video under the gallery link you have to think that it looks like a blown up, stretched out motor scooter with the optional helmet box behind the seat. | ||
| Macbuell |
Ugly bike. Just plain ugly. | ||
| Xl1200r |
Love the idea and the concept, not crazy about the execution. The engine looks TINY in that thing. Maybe I need to see it in person... I'd also like to see a slightly higher seat for touring duty. Kinda looks like something you would get if a Road King and K1200LT could mate. There were my thoughts exactly. | ||
| Jscott |
I think it would look alot better with a set of "number" plates.  | ||
| Jaimec |
How about if they left the saddlebag sides plain white? |
