        You should ride one. They are surprisingly nimble. Cast aluminum frame keeps it rigid so it doesn't flex like steel tubing. Also a very comfortable bike. It is a love it or hate it thing as far as aesthetics's go.

          I have heard this to be true..of the ride quality but to me its a clown bike...Hideous indeed..When it first came out I thought it was kinda cool..Victory went waaay out on a limb for this one.. But the more I looked at it the less I liked it...

            Agree! YUK!

            Polaris makes the INDIAN as well. Although I believe the front fairing on the INDIAN looks like a flat nose bulldog - YUK. The remainder of those bikes are pretty darn good looking!

              No wonder Polaris pulled the plug on Victory...
