    I don't like the one with the forks like flared pants in the wind. Other two are max schwing.

    I think its saved by all the bodywork under the engine, I dig it, and all the close up/detail shots are stunning.

    Lack of rear suspension indicates it is a yank wank.

    Never liked the bobber style but that Victory has some pretty cool engineering. Be alright in the bar as a discussion piece...thats about it but hey evolution is a process. They could take some of the engineering and apply it to something that might be more visually appealing.


    Designing and making shit like that would be a pretty cool job though.....as i sit at my desk chasing pricks who wont pay their bills

    Victory definitely know their target market. Their names are hilarious. Core, Kingpin, 8Ball, Hammer...

    New models for summer: the Victory Cock, the Victory Bigballs and the Victory I'mlikesomanlyImeancomeonlookatthese sweetchapsandtasslesletsgotothecafeandtalkabouthow badasswearebrapbrapbrapbrap.

    From a pure design point of view I do have a lot of admiration for the brand mind.

    It's almost in the same vein as the Britten V1000 but for a different market and application.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    That bike and the Confederate Hellcat are what American bikes should look like. Bleeding edge tech, aggressive styling and not a fucken tassle in sight.

    That is a nice bike. I wonder what it would cost if put into production. I guess the fact that I asked means I couldn't afford it.

    The exhaust / tail pipes seriously lets the Core down. They look like an afterthought.

    Unlike the seat and rear suspension.......

    Building a bike as art is one thing (and to be applauded, more bikes should be works of art) but to build it with zero consideration for the ride/rider (even if its never to be ridden) is just a total wank job.There are something that just can't be ignored if the damn thing is meant to be a bike.

    >>Total wank job<<

    You are so missing the point.
    It's a one-off show bike - and like a show bike has never had a rigid frame and a crap seat before?
    It's a promotional vehicle - made for publicity - a design exercise. A demonstration of 'possibility' and mastery of casting technology.
    It would never get registered here with those pipes, lights, lack of mudguards or number plate rack either.

    Suspension travel is incidentally one of the prime criteria in the design of the new Tourers

    I get the point, That's what I was referring to as a wank job.

    I'm not asking you to share my viewpoint, If you dig it then you dig it. You have your reasons.

    Now try to refrain from talking down to people who don't share your opinion.






    Especially to those of us who are superiour.
