[QUOTE="El Toro, post: 496489, member: 14779"] Somebody's gotta love 'em. If you really enjoyed the H-D, you might want to try the Victory Vision. Most of the magazine reviews have indicated that in head to head comparison, the Victory has more torque, better top end, better handling, and greater comfort. Of course if you want an H-D, there's nothing else like 'em. Most of us are thankful for that mind you. The other useful tip is that you might try to buy one from someone who's bought a new one and now is trying to figure out how to ride it. I've known guys who bought one as their first bike, and ended up dropping it on the way home. I've seen guys in MSF classes who couldn't handle the Honda Rebel who were nervous about going to pick up their $22K H-D at the dealership. I've seen guys buy them and then put 200 miles on them in the first year or so. There are some real nice ones out there with low low low miles. Anyone who's not trying to push a bike to its limits should find the H-D an acceptable choice. Don't push it. You'll find the limits all too quickly. [/QUOTE]
