Personally, I've never been a fan of Victory. Just not feeling it. It's like they try too hard or something.

I rode a hard ball in Daytona this spring on a demo ride. It was pretty much fun. More torque than the Roadie. It had a stage 1 exhaust and sounded real good. I would be interested if I needed a bike and the price was right.

I was NOT impressed with the pic of the Hard Ball. but today I was at the IMS show in Long Beach and the Gunny was in the demo booth and asked me to test drive a Victory, I figured what the heck. I was very impressed! It looks way better in person! The seat is very comfortable and the 106" motor was sweet! I loved the mini apes and I opened it up from a stop sign for about 1/2 mile and got er up to 95 before I caught up with the group. The six speed is very nice too. Anyways I am really jones'n to buy one now!

My right hand man has a Victory Vision. Traded his Cross Roads for it & I've gone to the factory demo rides. While I love my Roadie, I will take a hard look @ Victory for my next bike. I'm kind disapointed with the "new" (?) bike. I (we) were hoping they'd put the crossroads/ country rear end on the Vision. The Cross R/V 's bags are HUGE !!!. The Visions are about the size of our Roadie's. Seemed kinda like a HD move to me. just my .02$

Not a bad looking scoot. The forks look a little short. Maybe a little more stretch in the front end would help. Some kind of a fairing would be good too. Baggers just don't look right to me without something up front to balance the look.

I like everything except the fact that it has "Victory" on the side and not "Yamaha". It also needs the 1900 Yamaha motor

But seriously, the bags are unique. I am a big fan of Victory's new 12 bars. Kinda a z bar with a gangster curve.
