If Victory wants to really coin the phrase "Go Break Boundaries" they better come up with something really bold like the Vision.... .

I was hoping for the 'Crystal Ball' so we wouldn't have to keep guessing.

 

[RhoXS]

Polaris leverages it's extensive experience with snowmobiles to develop a January wintertime motorcycle called... The Snow Ball!

 

[Mudge]

As long as it's not a "Goofball".

 

[Jagular]

I'm pretty sure this one will have a wild, striped paint job this time, rather feline. Call it the Hair Ball...

 

[uknessie]

Well I think it will be a hi-tec sponsored (Ducati) Monster type bike in memory of Mr Jobs and it will be called the i-ball

If Polaris board of directors are reading these posts, and I dont know if they are,but hope they DO, then I vote to bring back TOM TILLERMAN for CEO of VICTORY, Because tom was " REAL BIG " on pushing the envelope/cutting edge designs (Vision-Core-Cross Bikes) for Victory, SCOTT WINE(the present CEO)cautious approach is getting REAL BORING/STALE, the present success of VICTORY'S sales of the Cross bikes, were designed before Scott Wine came aboard, If Victory continues to "Play it safe", and just Re-paint/Re-Mix parts for releases, I think IT'll hurt'em. Now back to the Canadian Elections, I cant wait for the "BLOOD-BATH"

Now back to the Canadian Elections, I cant wait for the "BLOOD-BATH"

You'll have to wait 3 to 4 years as we have a majority government and will have an election when the Prime Minister calls for one (has to be within 5 years of last one)

 

[miles_1]

Maybe it will be a 'pin and called the OLD-BALL

I agree !!! I don't expect any new bikes after the last two which were just blacked out with ape hangers

 

[Shinden]

Hard to get excited about this based on previous disappointments.

Yes, there was nothing there that would even begin to entice me to have any remote thoughts of trading the Vision 8 Ball in.

 

[poppamark]

how bout a partnership with a car company similar to harley. victory partners with crysler and brings out the dodgeball, or zack ness does his version of the kingpin

 

[Nepper]

Could be just a bunch of unsold 2010 Kingpins painted black with a jacked up price tag called a Screwball.

 

[Sutherland]

Now now thats not nice, I thought it mite be a Vision on tracks for you guy's up north Regards

 

[gadgetman01]

Yeah, the Canadian election thread grew to 2 whole pages, and that included jokes and discussion on hockey, eh.

Hey, don't knock Canadian hockey - Next to bull fighting, I think its one of the best action sports to watch live in the world! I couldn't get enough of it. It wasn't a good game until there was blood on the ice.

I agree! Where are all the paint choices on each model? People flock to my bike in the parking lots just because of the factory paint and chrome! They don't offer this now & most new models are all humdrum black crap. That's OK if you like it, but I like the bling & so do lots of others. At least offer some options!

Besides the fact that it is fun to sit on the sidelines and criticize others on how to run their multimillion (billion?) dollar business, I am still impressed with Victory and their guts and innovation and willingness to stick their fiscal necks out. Just 4-5 years ago they set the whole motorcycle design on its conventional ear with the Vision. Then they perfected the standard touring options with the X bikes and then they came out with the factory ready "bobber" the High Ball (not my style, but thats not the point... or maybe it is.) for the younger crowd. Yeah, the Hard Ball is somewhat of a amalgamation of existing parts, but it offers options to those who want it. Is swells the ownership base which will grow the aftermarket options which is good for us all. That being said, I still love all the new names you guys come up with. We should have a "Busting Balls" contest for the best name.

+ 1 on the innovation and guts. Regarding the Ball Buster Contest, would Canadians be included, or excluded?

Personally I'm praying for a "small statue" friendly bike to try to to capture the 883 / Ridley market. My wife is 5' 2" and about 100 pounds, none of the current models are comfortable for her. She wants an 883 Sportster, but I'm so anti HD that the thought of having one in the garage is killing me.

Here's the newest teaser image from The Factory:

I agree Showboat, my wife is of similar height and also wants an 883 sportster (new rider, just passed the MSF course and got her endorsement). I so want to talk her out of it, but I can't argue with the fact it seems to fit her good and haven't been able to find anything else to recommend except maybe a Honda Shadow...
