    Victory - '08 models!

    American builder Victory have come up with two new offerings for '08. They won't appeal to everyone of course, but you could argue that they are fairly stylish.

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    One of the southern KBers has a Victory - so different yet so traditional, nice bike.
    And it seemed to go/handle ok too.

    I know it had to happen eventually. Its only January 2007 and we are seeing 2008 bikes being announced. Lets get real here If its released in 2007 then it is a 2007 model. Otherwise it will get so ludicrous that we'll be seeing 2010 models released in 2008.
    Time to ride

    It looks like a giant electric shaver.

    I would have to say I would rather lay my fingerprints on a Victory over a Harley, But that thing above looks hell uglyer than that Suzuki with the ugly nose fairing thing.

    Sure its a personal thang. Somtimes less is more.
    I would choose the Suzuk' in this case.

    Said the guy with the Guzzi with GS1200SS muffler on it.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Obviously alive and well and working as a consultant to Victory...

    Actually I quite like the models. Does that say anything...?

    You're not worried about cornering fast?

    Not even on my GSX-F... Well, okay, maybe I do like to touch the toes down at times, but as most of my mates ride cruisers, it's a bit of a pain to have to adjust to their pace and the Missus loved the comfort on the pillion of my mate's Boulevard C90T compared to my bike, so have been thinking along the lines of a cruiser lately. Would probably keep the 'F' for solo fun, though. How many cruisers do you see on the Coro loop?

    Awesome, I love them! All the good bits from the US and Japan together in a package not bound and restricted by 'tradition'.
