New Bohemia, VA | I have to agree, there will be no line crossing between Victory and Indian, technology, ergo, and those things yes, styling, no. 6 more happy days for everyone to finally sigh. Remember the hype of the Highball, cool bike, a slight departure, but only a very small target audience. Also, remember the Vision, big hype, the cult following by the few, but it now just quietly plugs along. It'll probably be a bad-boy Cross bike... |

on the edge of Los Angeles | I doubt a large touring bike is going to have spokes and bias ply tires...
I predict a Cafe style bike with a new engine size based on the Core.
It going to be around 500 pounds and have 100 HP.
My 2 cents.. |

Albuquerque, NM | With the success of the High Ball and Cross Country, the easiest new model to introduce would be a Crossroads with the High Ball treatment. I would call it a High Road(s). Is mother VIC becoming predictable?

South Central Pennsylvania | I suspect it is predominately a HighBall reskinned without the ape hangers. Something minimalist aimed more at poor economy market, with retro styling. I kinda expect it to have a Victory/Indian hybrid appearance. |

1%ers? Seriously?
Are buyers of $23k motorcycles supposed to think of that association as a "feature", or perhaps a "benefit"?
I'll bet there must be a whole boat load of Vision Riders who are personally looking forward to the day that police departments start thinking of a Vision (or any Victory) as just another element of "Gang Indicia". (HEAVY SARCASM)
If that demographic prediction is a reality, I guess it wont be long before I have to seriously give BMW or Guzzi another look. |

wow, geeze, uh, the demog of bikers are diversed, but where the "biker" get its start? With a bunch of Wingers returning from the war?
My point being is that Victory motorcycles, particularly the Vision and the Cross bikes and transending the spectrum. Yes, association is a driving force for buyers of motorcycles, it sure ain't for practability. |

Is this like really really bad new movies where the studio won't allow reviewers to se it beforehand because the smell would empty the theater? It'd either really neat or very ugly, it's Dec. 9th so-

Didn't even have to use my crystal ball. I like the name "High Road" better. I guess it is called a Hard Ball because it has the hard bags. Vic should have put the soft bags on it and dropped the price a grand. It would have looked a little more "old school classic" to go with the blacked out theme.

| Was expecting more for an "all new bike". |
|
| |
|
| I at first was dissappointed,but then I thought really how could anyone improve enough things to bring out a new bike that was better than the Vision. Sure they could have made the bags more roomier,add this or that,but being unable to add a new full size tour bike into the market that would or could out do what I call the perfect bike! just my 2 cents worth. |
