I quite like the look of the VRSCDX 08 Nightrod, and wouldn't the Harley be more cost effective anyways?

I guess if you own a Victory you have something out of the norm, different and unique.

Whats the price difference involved with the victory? I like the big barrels on them but why not just get yourself a bosshog, you could have your chevy engine and a bike at the same time.....great for those closet holden fans lol

Guess it really comes down to pesonnal taste. BossHoss's are hidious IMHO. That Victory shown above is a much better looking beast. And thats coming from a non cruiser fan

OT- Hey did Gower pick up that XZ?

**Gibbo13p** · 2nd June 2008, 19:29

Could go a cruiser now I reckon, not going so fast anymore....lol Yep gower picked it up on a ute in the end which I thought was a good idea, says he's bringing it to work tomorrow, wow two yamaha's in the park now....must be breeding, promise the XJ has been in the shed the whole time......

They do make sence these days but I'm tending towards a Hinkley Bonneville or W650.

**Gibbo13p** · 2nd June 2008, 19:44

The Hinkley bonny, is that that one you guys were talking about the other day that I reckon looks like an old yamaha....? I liked the black setup of it.

I believe that you would be dissapointed in the power available at top end of the power band, IMHO

Thats true, but as I stopped at the Oturehua Pub on way to Brass Monkey, a female friend got off her Bonnie complaining that she needed more power to pass, at the speeds we were cruising at!
She's talking about a Cam Kit ???
