    I never said it wasn't overpriced. My comment was more to the fact that with every excuse people have to bash a Harley these days, the age old reliability issue, really isn't an issue anymore. To each their own though, if/when I give up on my Buell, I'll go back to another Harley. Personally, I like the looks and love the sound.

    I rode 4000 miles on a HD, I did nothing but put gas in it. It is a big heavy ride that makes more noise than power.

    I've seen a few Victorys here and there, they are definetly different.

    if you can ride it with your health concerns go for it .you should also check out the goldwing though its been the standard for cruising and comfort for decades.

    I saw one of these up here in SK last week; first thing I noticed was the taillights and thought it was a custom job. Bumped into it again at the HDD and took a better look. I like!

    HD has come a long way in reliability. One can now wear white jeans on a Harley:D

    The Vic has a lot of features standard that are major extras on HD. HID headlight is standard. Much longer floor boards. Higher back seat, lower front, more cargo capacity. And a bigger base motor 106 vs 96 for the baggers. Also no push rods. :D
    The lower price is the icing on the cake.
