I like the look of Victory bikes more and more all the time. I LOVE the red/silver paint combination on the regular Cross Country. They're onto something with the tour model as well. I know the trunk has been an option in the past, but it's always nicer when it comes as a package rather than an add-on. The taller windshield on the tour model is nice, too.

Add in heated seats, grips, ABS and it's a touring bike. They are going in the right direction.

Looks like the Cross Country Tour comes stock with all three of those.

They are getting quite a lineup of bikes, I like thier cruiser series, but the touring series still has to grow on me some more.

They have some really sharp looking bikes and the price isn't all that bad for what you get.

Lets see if some of the Indian styling ideas rub off.

Holy Smoke, one fitted the way I would want it is $24,500.

Forgive me for even looking. I will keep the Nomad.

Yep. The Cross Country jumped $1000 in one year.

Nice looking bikes, and I'm sure I'll get razzed for this, but if I was going to spend $20K+ I'd get a Harley.

Yeah, but it has more features than last years. ABS for one. The other thing is that it comes with a 106ci engine, which I bet has more stonk than the 103 from HD or Kawasaki. The topcase is quick removable too. I think a fairer comparison is the RG Ultra or the Limited. It's less expensive too and has more storage. IDK. Seems like a pretty good bike.

The CC will be my next bike. I was just waiting for ABS and knew they would have it soon. If your a big with big feet, and long legs. It's a the best fitting bike. Now.....what color.
