UberXY Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Went by the local HD dealer this morning to see the Kyle Petty Charitable Tour stop for lunch. Mr Petty was on a new Victory Vision, as were a number of other riders, and a Victory tractor trailer was with them. The bike looks better in real life than in 2 dimensional media, but it is an eyeful. It looks bigger than an LT, a feat which I did not think was possible. Pictures later. Link to comment
Sidmariner Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 The first thing that came to mind when I saw a picture of one head-on was that it must have been designed by the same guy who designs monsters for the Power Rangers. At the risk of offending anyone, it is an "interesting" bike. Link to comment
Fasterpill Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 They were right here in downtown Saratoga Springs yesterday, but I missed them. It was Monday and I had to be at work. The Article Link to comment
jackinthebox4 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 it's so big that I thought it should have three wheels like the Piaggio. two up front just to keep it stable Link to comment
Tool Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 The bike looks better in real life... It looks bigger than an LT... Wow... I'll say. 105" in length... 44" in WIDTH! That would make it a tad dicey for lane-splitting on my daily commute, here in SoCal. Otherwise, I just love new motos with edge-y styling; I don't think I can vote with my pocketbook on this one, but I do hope the designers get the message: "Give me MORE!" Of course I mean more styling, not MORE OF EVERYTHING, like this mongo moto. Link to comment
UberXY Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 I have never seen front turn signals this big even on a Mack truck. Link to comment
rogera Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Thinking outside of the box. Im sure it will appeal to a lot of folks. Link to comment
tcshooter Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I like it for a full tour bike. Link to comment

Hoover Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Sorry, It looks like it stopped too quickly and all the fairing shifted to the front. Ugh, what an ugly bike. Link to comment
ChrisM Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I agree with the negative comments, but it's the market place that decides. If they can sell it, it's a ok bike. Link to comment
Steve W. Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I would like to know what Willie G. thinks about "Child" Petty jumping on a Victory for his little charity ride. I bet he's pi**ed. As for the bike: it's soooo UG-U-LY, it could be a new BMW ST, RT. If it was a car would it be a Studebaker? Maybe put a propeller on the nose, no maybe on the back, wait both ends. What are they thinking??? If Victory wants to sell bikes they need to keep making Harley clones and send Arlen Ness to Europe to replace that BMW guy. Opps maybe they did. Just My Opinion, Don't Get Excited. Steve Link to comment
superjohn Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 That's the first time I've seen that bike in comparison to another. It's freakin' HUGE!! Link to comment
