Pretty nice. I'll bet Polaris sells a couple hundred of them.

Isnt the Polaris parent company Fuji Heavy Industries, the owner of Subaru? If so not too bad for a cleverly disguised American "manufactured" Japanese bike!!!

Victory makes a good product, no way around it. The Vision is the closest we've come to George Jetson's flying car IMO.
Why didn't I buy a Victory? I didn't grow up wanting a Victory. I bought what I wanted and people are free to do that.
The more the merrier.

Exactly, hopefully a well done Victory can force HD to improve their product enough so that we, the customer, don't have to do the final testing of the bikes. It's a win-win. More choice and better bikes.

I wasnt bashing them, I was just commenting on it. If you read my post I said "not bad". To each thier own!! KIA, Honda, and Toyota are manufactured in the US and some are even owned (controlling interest) by American companies, but I wouldnt call them American automobiles.

I hear this weekend that the Toyota Corolla is the most US Domestic of any other car - 70% of it's parts are made in the USA and it is built in the USA.
Go figure.

Jag is now owned by an Indian company and Ford, owner of Volvo, has a huge presence in Europe going back decades so I guess it doesn't really matter anymore.
