The engine is considered to be the best V-twin made in America, for whatever that's worth.

The Vision is fugly. I have a friend who has one and loves it. Apparently beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I agree. Even the other Victorys are not my cup of tea. One thing that I can't get passed is the length of the cylinders, they look like their 2' long! But "to each his/her own". Some of the guys from the Suzuki web site went to Victorys and have only good things to say about them, even the Visions. |

I was considering pickin one up as an investment as the guy was desperate for money and was selling cheap. Did some reseach and the model he had (I dont remember which ) had a reputation for mechanical issues. It was the 1st two years only. Aparently they are supposed to have ironed out the wrinkles and a much better bike now.

Dealer bragging on the Vic being Made in the USA told me he wished they'd imported the carb. That earlier bagger was pretty fast, though. |

I've heard nothing but good things from customers who have Victory's.
I'm not sure about the first year or two, but later models are highly rated by their owners.
Not my cup of tea, but to each their own.

I've rode a King Pin 8-Ball, a King Pin Tourer, and a Vision. They are nice, a much different power band than the Valk, must be the V-twin thing. The Cross Country is a nice looking ride, but I still prefer my Valk.
