Kind of a cross between an Ultra, a BMW K1200 LT, and a GoldWing, and will probably be priced at that level. Swoopy styling not for everyone, but, as far as I've heard, the Victory powertrain is solid. Owners swear by Victory's old touring bike. I like the frame-mounted fairing and the floorboards. If it is priced right, I think it will find an audience.

When he pressed those tank buttons I kept expecting some kind of James Bond action out of the exhaust pipes.   |

I might look at one. I can't afford to buy a dresser and get it up to speed. This build wiped me out. Little bitter.
Its American made.
I agree it not quite the right look. But cosmetics are for chicks. If it provesout to be a good bike, I will consider it.

Bags and torupak don't look to big, be curious to see. Might be easier to work on the HD. They got right side drive, stock.
6speed, 6 gallon. TBA dispacement, but probably bigger then HD.
No engine guards, don't like that. No luggage rack don'r like that. Like to see one with the extras.
Does not have heel toe, I like heel toe.
Looks like it has deep seat, back support.
Rims look better then stock HD rims.
I like that you can see the engine,other HD, you cannot.
I'd like to find out displacement and price.
