i like the victory, but i wasn't impressed by it's road manners. it handled a bit too "heavy" for my tastes. i looked at harleys, too, but eventually settled on a triumph rocket 3 and haven't looked back since.

the rocket handles like a bike half it's size and when you twist the throttle hard, you learn the meaning of the phrase "The Hand of God" !!

I am both a Harley-Davidson & Victory Rider. I love both of my bikes! The '03 Ultra Classic is a strong runner. I've ridden 1500 miles in 23 hrs 38 min, as per Iron Butt Association verification. But I love my Victory Highball. I have never been so captivated by a bike, as I have been by the Highball. It is a real screamer. Go to RTStrongDog videos for a comparison of the exhaust and more. I moved mountains to get the Highball, and I'm damn glad I did!

Funny how anonymous youtube comments about certain things, such as this motorcycle, often are 180 degrees from what a known professional commented.

There are plenty of vids on here showing one person picking the bike up off the tip guards. This is one sweet smoooooth ride. Far and away the most advanced American bike.

Does anyone know when this show will be back on Speed TV???

@majorghn You really should go to the victory web site and watch that little test where they knock over a Goldwing, an Electraglide, and a BMW bagger. Those bikes were detroyed...the Goldwing looked like it wanted to roll completely up-side-down. In this video he sets it down nicely....on the Victory web site it is on the kickstand and they just step up to the bike on the kickstand side and simply push it over. Still no damage and it landed on that tip over protection HARD.

@majorghn

So what if he did need help or not. I suppose that little maneuver smashing the entire side of an 800lb Electraglide or Goldwing is more acceptable as long as the Harley or the Goldwing can be picked up "AND" put on the kick stand by one guy ? I think you are missing the point of "***ZERO DAMAGE***" Be sides that, do you honestly believe that a smashed up Electraglide or Goldwing would be any easier to pick up with the grip all the way down on the asphalt ?

The looks aren't for everyone. I have to admit I have always been an HD guy, and over 15 years ago when I bought a Tour Glide everyone told me how ugly it was, now look...everyone is riding the Road Glide, the same bike they all chided just a few years ago. I'm sure that in a few years all the Johnny comelatelys will be riding Visions and bragging about how they were Victory guys since "back in the day". I still own two Shovels, including the Tour Glide, but I sure do love my Vision!

[majorghn]

Why didn't American Thunder show the guy not only picking up the bike by himself when he laid it over on it side to show the "Tip Over" feature but show him applying the kick stand by himself too?? Or did he actually have help because the bike is too heavy? Every video I see where they show the tip-over feature they never show the rider applying the kick stand from the pick up position??

Now that's a BIKE!!!!
