    What the heck is this?! Must be Harley by the emblem, but can't find a model. Or is it a total custom job?

    The big "V" in the back is for "Very Ugly." If you believe the company website...it's probably for "Victory" or "Vision"...a polaris brand

    I actually think it is kind of neat. Sort of art deco...

    Well love it or hate it, to me the style is evocative of Chicago in the 30's & 40's - never been there, but this is the feel that movies gave me of that era. Definitely swoopy but I'd be afraid to take it out of the garage (if I had a garage).

    Lovely to look at but no thanks unless I win a lottery and can buy one to gaze at while I ride the Maxim. That's the appeal of my old bike. Ride the snot out of it. If it drops pick it up and fix it, ride the snot out of it some more. It's all about the fun of riding for this old man, not the fear of the slightest damage, associated depreciation and insurance costs.

    Lovely bike though - I could get lost in time just looking at it. Gorgeous.

    Just a bit of info on the Victory, it has a great design built in...you can actually drop it from standing, and it won't even leave a scratch! Has to do with how the foot boards are designed I think...still 30,000 dollars Canadian is a bit much!

    I thought maybe it was the occ build for the "star trek bike"!!!! very cool looking but not my style! somebody was telling me not to long ago that victory made one of the most comfortable cruisers around, I wonder if that was the one he was talking about??

    Wow looks like an oversized scooter to me but guess i just like a something that resembles a motorcycle more. Looked at the website and from the front the thing looks like the space shuttle.

    You return it to the dealer and pay out the nose.

    Or you ride it so little the tire is good for the entire time you own the thing.

    I don't want to like it, and I sure don't want to own it- but that thing is kinds cool in a "Completely over the effing top and we don't give a F**K" kind of way!

    My boss' daughter and her man both have victory's. Not the vision but they both love them and traded off their harleys for them. They say they are heads above the harley and would never go back. I uess the victory motors are balanced and don't shake the snot out of you either.

    What is it you ask?
    That there my friend is the ugliest bike on the road. Polaris Victory Vision. Either you love it or you hate it. I hate it. Looks like something that came out of some SyFy movie.
    I met two of them on the road one day and couldn't grasp the concept. Just looked stupid ugly. Nothing on those looks right. The engine is about the only thing that is any good on it.
    Sorry if you don't agree. I'm old school and like bikes to look like a bike and not some futuristic piece of art work, that doesn't even look good sitting in the showroom. All i can say is eeew.

    a tank scooter is better than a harley. :lol:

    but seriously, this thing is hideous. i'd like to see somebody pull a u-turn riding one of these without scraping everything off of it, or inside of 3 lanes for that matter.

    I test rode one once. My wife was with me, so it was two-up. It rides well, has lots of power, is smooth, and I loved the electric windshield...push the button to raise or lower it about 6 inches, if memory serves me right.

    I like all styles, including this and H-D. I'm on my third Yamaha (second XJ), but I've also had Suzuki, BMW and Harley.

    One of the Victory's bragging point is that EVERTYTHING on it is made in the US. At least that's what they told me, all the hoses, bolts, plastic and metal bits.

    And it's WAY too expensive for me to even think about.
