Grand Cane, LA | The "Gunner" is the new bobber style bike for this year. I'm still disappointed there is nothing out about if there is going to be any changes to the Vision for next year. I guess Victory is planning on flooding the market with a bunch more models rather worry about the quality of its present lines. Get too many different bikes out and the quality starts to suffer which is already starting to happen.

Manchester, CT | Im curious what type of market analysis and what demographic drove Victory to the conclusion that a bobber is a target rich market. |

| lol i hear you. just seems like last 4 years all new bikes offered to the same demographic. Sounds like another bolt on change to a existing bike. I sure am glad i love my vision and not in the market. But if Vic would produce or upgrade a top notch tourer id love to add to my stable. But i have now learned to not get excited about these unvails, let down for 4 years running now |

Orlando, FL | I'm with ya Jeff. This is a Bobber? What an amazing disappointment. Creating the Gunner must have taken all of 5 minutes creative thought. Let's see, take a Highball, change the bars, add some paint, some boring rims and OMG, it's a Bobber! Yea, not realy. Actually, not at all. Another disaster with this one. |

seattle, wa | Nothing too exciting.
The front end is too small, needs fatter bars and fork tubes. |

Clinton, CT | Envisioned something R. Lee Ermey would ride, but that's "Gunny Hartman" and can't imagine he would give a rat's ass about the "Gunner."
Yawn...
So when is the ground-up Vision makeover? Oh yea that's right, Victory shot their wad for innovation back in 2008... |

New Mexico | Well, I like it! Obviously won't do what my Vision will, but IMHO a nice addition to their lineup.
Keeps the traditional Victory lines, smaller fenders, smooth cohesiveness with front/middle/rear of bike, exhaust look that is present but not overwhelming. Nice rims and large front tire. Really like the bars.
I say good job!

Clinton, CT | I didn't say I didn't like it, it just seems like the answer to an unasked question- A somewhat milquetoast conglomeration from the parts bin. |

| It's a Vegas 8-ball with different wheels or a Highball without the apes.

Am not impressed. Looks like Victory's trying to develop a Harley Davidson 883 Sportster.

New Mexico | I was thinking HDs `Switchback`.
No offense to anyone, but I never Loved `The Judge` because the center part of the bike looks out of place to me, and the `Boardwalk` rear fender is too big.
