Nope...anything new and radical should be attached to the Indian brand, which took off quite well when reintroduced by Polaris. Victory never enjoyed such success. Would be nice to see Indian compete in market segments other than heavy cruisers.Should have used the Victory brand name to launch something radical like a non-V-twin engine without push-rods.
Someday, those Victory Visions will be collectors items.Clearing out inventory might mean time to buy one....to some people. HD will be cheering about this I spose.
BWAAAAHAAAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAA!! You mean like the Ford Edsel?? That's exactly what those bikes reminded me of with that huge horse collar looking front end!Someday, those Victory Visions will be collectors items.
No, that is not what I mean. More like a Vincent Black Prince. Plus we need more manufacturing jobs here in the US, not less.BWAAAAHAAAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAA!! You mean like the Ford Edsel?? That's exactly what those bikes reminded me of with that huge horse collar looking front end!
One less cruiser maker on the market is a good thing, in my book.
Hmmm, I'll have to mention that to the gentleman who's bought mine.Someday, those Victory Visions will be collectors items.
Maybe the President-elect will threaten Victory with a closing down business tax.People out of work from suppliers all the way to salesmen is not a good thing IMHO. American jobs too.
just like ramblers, so desiredSomeday, those Victory Visions will be collectors items.
Nobody was buying them so not really a big job loss there. Hopefully they can focus on Indian and maybe introduce more Indian models with Victory parts to keep the supply up.People out of work from suppliers all the way to salesmen is not a good thing IMHO. American jobs too.
Which should also provide perspective on why there is no new ST.amorley said:Shows that the market for big touring motorcycles is tough
+1 Choice is good. Just because any given bike isn't my choice doesn't mean it's a bad choice. More often that not providing choice means competition can improve the competition's products.MajorTom said:Less choice is rarely a good thing.
Indeed. Lots of competition - we consumers benefit.the market for big touring motorcycles is tough
Actually, since the sport-touring market has been leaning toward adventure-touring of late, (riders find it preferable to sit more upright, less leaning forward) Honda's much admired V-Four has been redesigned as the Unicam version, and installed in a new and better chassis. Hence the VFR1200X. Try it, you'll like it!Which should also provide perspective on why there is no new ST
