Heard nothing but good things about Victory. Despite Dad having a Harley (That he is not even allowed to crank up in his neighborhood on Hilton Head SC by the way) I have never really been a Harley kinda guy or even a touring bike guy. But Mike, that Victory is SHARP. I used to sell Kawasaki and Yamaha dirtbikes, ATVs, and street bikes while I was in school so I used to be very into the sport. I had never came across a touring bike that I liked.
Coming from street bikes how are you liking the weight? Did you get a chance to ride it a few times?
Also, I should clarify what I mean by old style. Here is a customized version of one of those old cafe racers and then a newer version that I like.
