you just wouldn,t,would you?surely nobody is going to be beating the dealers door down to hand over a wad of cash for what IS the worlds most stupid and ugly motorcycle.maybe it will attract the worlds most stupid and ugly bikers,them reasoning that it will make them look better  it must have been designed by the idiot who made the worlds most stupid and ugly c*r! Clarkson said of this thing,"THE UGLIEST CAR EVER DESIGNED, LOOKS LIKE IT GOT BOTTLED IN A PUB BRAWL AND STITCHED BACK TOGETHER BY A BLIND MAN"(who then went off to design nasty bikes for the yanks)Attachment: ugly car.jpg (Downloaded 138 times) Last edited on Tue Sep 30th, 2008 08:38 pm by james guthrie w

Is that from the website/forum thingy from Victory,where they asked owners to design a bike and they would build it?.....Bloody hell it looks like an Elvis/Cadillac cross from the early 70's!......Says a lot for Yank taste.

It looks like something from the old Flash Gordon series made in, errr, 1940 summat.
Can you imagine riding one of those to the Ace? I'm sure you'd give everyone a good laugh. Do you think Victory makes it in pink? I can't think of a more appropriate colourscheme.

| Saw this at the NEC bike show and thought it was a concept bike not meant for production but I have seen one on the road,hideous looking thing in my opinion but I guess it would sell well in the states?

" says a lot for Yank taste"?!!! Them be European tags on those cars in the background. Your folks must be buying em. Ive yet to see one on the road over here. In fact isnt that European "art deco?

Looks more like a 1950s Cadillac/ something out of an old Marvel / Batman comic that the villain would ride.
No worse than many Valkyries that I've seen, i.m.h.o., purely from the aesthetic point of view - no idea about its mechanical merits or lack of.

By the way, the man responsible for selling this piece of junk is none other than Ross Clifford ex marketing supremo at Triumph now head of European Marketing Strategy at Polaris.
They must have lined his pockets is all I can say, although he did sign off that other design abomination the Rocket 111 so maybe not
PS. Unfortunately the front of the bike looks like Crusty the Clown from The Simpsons
Folly, absolute folly

| The other Victory bikes are supposed to be quite good - if you like big cruisers that is.
