Victory & Harley-Davidson 2012 Factory Customs. I bought this thinking it wasa comparison/road test of the bikes. Spoiler Alert It is just a paragraph on each bike and the company photos. I want my $7.00 back. :taz:[link='http://www.paisanopub.com/vtwin/']http://www.paisanopub.com/vtwin/[/link]
haha, you are not alone. I bought it for the same reasons and it is nothing more than a glorified summary of each bike and no comparisons, was a total waste.

I have yet to see a supposed "shoot out" or "head to head" comparison that actually put the specs side by side, along with the average purchase price and a pro riders opinion. The obvious bias toward their big advertiser has made me leave Paisano Publications alone. That, and the fact that it takes them 3 months to send the beginning issue of a new subscription. Maybe I'm naive but they seem like big infomercials in print now. kg
In my opinon No. The entire issue is ad's for overpriced parts there are two articles that are about real bikes but even those are laced with plugs for bike shops. Not one naked chick in the entire mag. I will not be a repeat buyer.
Best overall magazine, and value if you subscribe, is Roadrunner Magazine. They love all bikes, and have great articles and pics. Just my $.02 worth...

I like Roadrunner but they cater to the BMW type rider. my Dealer always has a few of them every month www.locomotionpowersports.com. I guess I'm getting old but Bike rags used to have a few bike builds and a healthy dose of naked or near nakid chicks with tatoos. I perfer those type of mags. :devil2:
I have read past issues that were pretty good, but this issue was not good at all. Only reason I picked it up as I thought it was going to do a good comparison of these bikes. The other articles were of no real interest to me, and the bikes they featured were not all that great, but that could be my own personal preference. I am still surprised at how blatant they were, in as previously stated, basically reprinting the information in the brochures.
