Now I've seen some Victory motorcycles as there's a dealership near here and I think they're pretty good-looking in general - but while visiting a US forum I saw this pic of someone's new bike that he's very proud of - a Victory Vision. Hm. More like my worst nightmare.

The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.

Looks like the Hayabusa's ugly sister - definitely a 10-pinter

Oddly enough Snapdragon and I were out on a dribble at a local bike shop... MV Brutalle mmmmmm

.... and they are also a Victory Dealership - there were 2 of these outside ... in the metal they look HUGE! but apparently well balanced and engineered - the guy from the shop was riding one about in the carpark like it was any other big tourer. Not my cup of budwiser but interesting to see...
The other bikes in the range are styled more like conventional big HD's and the 'Hammer' was definately drawing me in. The recent flocks of HD's do nothing for me and there is certainly nothing there that I trade my current one in for... but that Hammer (FFS what a stupid name though!) is making my bank manager nervous!
There is only one way of life and that's your own.

I can sorta see how the Hammer could appeal, tho not my cuppa, but the other thing sure is the ugly sister.

No, I seriously think it looks even worse from that angle!
