Cool new concept bike from Victory. Looks like a cruiser that is built to be ridden.

I like looking at the out of the box "choppers", they are pretty ... But the 'Out of the box" part seems to defeat the "chopper" origins of the concept.

I like the way they designed the open frame (front) with no front fender. This will allow plenty of grit, mud, and rocks to be thrown up on your engine.... great idea!

Reminds me of the Confederate bikes.

i like it except for the heat wrapped pipes.i think the they would
still be quite warm on your leg.i am also guessing it would be a
bit pricey for us value concious nomad riders.

Victory's Ugly Department sure worked overtime on that one... No way.

It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but hey; isn't it great that the companies are out there dreaming up new ideas for us to look at. After all, would you like them to all copy Harley and keep producing the same design for forty years except for the paint colors?

Okay so apparently I have to clarify here a bit. As for long distance, no I'll take my Nomad. However, in the originality department it beats the Honda Chopper hands down. Has the old board track racer look to it and the lines are clean. But hey if I could have a dozen bikes in my garage, it might be one of them.

I agree it does look like the confederate bikes only cleaner.
