WLTR EXTRA: Unedited Harley Rider Viewpoint of the Victory Cross Country Tour

[DCR1200RT]

I currently ride an 09 Ultra and 09 BMW R1200RT, and I thought I was going to stop at two bikes! Looks like I may have to make space for a third bike like in the likes of the Victory Cross Country...LOL

To those that say this person is the CEO of Polaris I have to say most emphatically that you are completely wrong! This gentleman is Jerry Windell, the CEO of Polaris Industries is Scott W. Wine. Victory sponsored this three day ride going to Washington D.C. and the Rolling Thunder event to promote their new Cross Country Tour motorcycle and they selected people that had no previous experience riding Victory so that they could get totally unbiased opinions about their bikes.

Wow, what a bunch of dumb asses, Harley doesn't compare its bikes to anyone else cause they LOOSE in every category! They are over priced, underpowered, overweight, they dont handle well and there not as reliable as other brands.

(FACT) Everyone makes better bikes than they do period. The guys who deny that FACT probably are the same douches who where the harley costume, you know, doo rag, hd boots, hd shirt, hd chaps, hd jacket, (gay pirates)

Yoose guys are funny!

I have yet to see one vid where victory didnt COMPARE its product to the tried and true legend. Ya that guy is the CEO of polaris

[JasonHowder]

@charlene1450 He isn't the CEO of Polaris. And of course Victory compares to Harley, they are the only two American motorcycle manufacturers.

This is the most raw, sincere, and honest testimonial that I've ever heard about ANY product. This is a true HD rider speaking about a competitor's product. I this doesn't at least peak your interest, in terms of wanting to test ride on, I don't know what moves you.

I'm moving from an 06 Hammer to either the Jackpot ( I can't find the 09 Cory Ness model) or a Cross Country; haven't decided yet. I'm sure wither way I'll be happy!

Everyone always wants to compare it to a Harley , must be a reason.  Nothing beats a Harley. Never has and never will. Harley doesn't compare there bikes to any other, they don't have to.

[JasonHowder]

@turlockjoe Harley doesn't compare their bikes to anyone else's because in every performing category they lose. If it wasn't for blind brand loyalty, Harley would be out of business, and this is coming from a huge Harley fan who now rides a Victory.

Dagum!

[forman58]

I know, but couldn't resist the humor, sorry. It is interesting to hear the perspective of a Harley owner on a Victory, this is a great bike, Victory has come a long way, after I'm through with my Yamaha Stratoliner Deluxe, it's gonna be a Victory.

[forman58]

Sorry to burst your bubble folks, but this guy happens to be the current CEO of Polaris Victory USA.

[tim4911]

@forman58 Maybe in your universe he is, but in reality he is not

[sokodad]

I have a buddy who has a Vision and he was so through and through Harley that he used to own a Harley show bike. He even has a tattoo of the Harley emblem. Why does he ride a Victory? He claims it's twice the bike. I ride a Harley and have considered a Victory because after riding another buddy's Vegas I was sick about how it outperformed my Harley in every way.

[simmyf150]

The endless Harley comparisons are tiresome.

[boobtubeviewr]

@simmyf150 Perhaps, but it's inevitable though. I believe the CC was introduced as a direct competitor to the Street Glide & this "Tour" model seems equipped to more favorably compete against Harley's other touring models. These comparisons are bound to continue tbh, especially when Polaris starts building all-new Indians in the not too distant future =)

I'm quite curious to see how Harley, Victory & Indian compare both now & going forward :)

[FragNet0]

nice man

[YoungAmericanOutback]

I want to ride for you guys!! In fact, I think Victory needs a guy like me to ride for them!!

[broephoto]

shhh. Be quiet or next thing you know everyone will have one.
