Yeah some of those guys on the Vic forum were really over reacting.
I am going to ride my Kingpin as long as I can still ride.
Well, as soon as the weather warms up and the snow goes away

Yeah I'm riding my Cross Country Tour until I can't hold it up anymore then I'll trike it.

My sons been looking for a different bike. He really likes the Victory Jackpots. Would you be leary of buying a used Victory? The prices don't seem to be going down. He also likes the Honda fury, I think it would be a better choice, they been around for a long time. He likes the chopper look.

I would not be leary of buying a Victory.
I really like that Honda has been around forever.
I have had a couple of them. They just don't make a bike that interests me now.
I think your son would be fine with either.

From this corner of the U.S. it seems that Polaris should have waited another 2-3 years.
Riders around here were starting to switch to Victory, lots of them are disappointed by
their departure. I personally like the Vic lineup.

I'd buy a used victory no problem. There are quite a few used low mileage victory's right now at a good price.
I was at my Victory dealer yesterday and he said after Polaris announced closing victory he sold more bikes in Jan and Feb of this year than all of last year.

You just have to check the right boxes. Both GPS and XM radio are/were options on the touring models just like they are on the other touring bikes like the Gold Wing. Same with reverse (on the Vision only).

Reverse is also available on the Cross Country lineup.
