Now unlike Honda's Chopper - This is cool!

Not sure about owning one.... but I wouldn't mind taking a ride on one!! I'd like to see what it could do and how it would perform.... but then again, I like "crotch rockets" too!! LOL!

If nothing else, Victory is at least pushing the envelope. I too would like to ride one, but am sure that I'll never own one.

I don't know if I'm so hot on the idea of using the engine as a link in the frame. There's enough stress on the engine as it is. I know it's been done before, but let's say, I'm not a big fan.....

Triumph Rocket III uses the engine as part of the frame - seems to work really well. And that is a BIG TOURQUEY motor.

Looks like a death trap to me and it appears they just ran out of ideas and left off some pretty important parts.

This is a most interesting bike. As Victory stated their "Industrial Design Team" came up with this. KISS " Keep it simple stupid" One note is that it does Not have any rear suspension on it.
I hope that it will come with an Airhawk or some type of gel cushion with it, because your backside is going to pay for the no frills down to the bone design. And as previously noted no front fender, love the rocks and road debris. DJ
