No information at all youtube video makes you wonder what the heck it is going to be and look like? Probably another V-twin HD wannabee? I hope not since Honda already created that with the Fury.

I'm guessing it's an adventure bike. Everyone seems to want to come out with one of them these days. Maybe the cruisers aren't cool anymore and sportbikes are out because they're so uncomfortable to ride? Since gas is so high and we guys can't afford to keep big monster 4x4 SUV's going, and so many of us just aren't into the Harley scene...maybe the adventure bike realm is next? Ha! We'll see...

Judging from the video, it's gotta be a power cruiser. Or maybe it runs on wind power??

It might beat my poor old Valk but I'm sure my V-Max will clean its" clockwork orange" Actually it's a good looker and no slouch.

I called it right apparently. The Judge is a power cruiser built to evoke the looks of 60s muscle cars.

Lew, I bet $10 bucks that a Valkyrie will take it. I like Victory's and think that they put a lot of style into a bike. The interesting thing to me is that this is a big 1730 cc cruiser with a 6 speed, which is nice...and the styling is very cool...but in the end, the styling doesn't carry over to being a real performance cruiser. Think about it. No tach? No abs? $14k? Probably still running on bias ply tires. I'll keep the Valk! It's paid for, looks great, sounds great, hauls A$$, and people still comment about it everywhere I go! AND the Valk puts its money where my mouth is! Ha! Cheers.

My Honda Dealer also sells Vics. They are stylish and a lot less expensive than a HD. Still no Val thats for sure. Since I still can't ride I spend a lot of time looking up various bike rentals in other countries. Would like to do Western Australia on a bike, have RVed Eastern half. It seems most agencies use BMWs primarily. Apparently they are like the Val as far as being dependable. Would love to make that trip on my Val but would need a tank truck along and Hoser's bank account. Maybe MP's as well.

The only Victory I would consider if I was rich like MP or Hoser (just kidding folks) is the Victory Cross Country Tourer. But for 22K, I'd buy a used 2005 thru 2008 1832cc goldwing under 15K in price and save that extra 7 grand for chrome accessories for my Valk I/S.  |
