Lol, they are Cousins............................

Whaat, just because they have tires and... and... the same motor, floorboards, exhaust system,turn signals,etc... But, but, there is the side panels, yeah that is the ticket... No, they are almost identical.

Okay I give up, just like up to 25% of the kids in the World, that don't know that their Dad really isn't their biological father. So there is a chance she looks like the mailman. Truth is, I had a hard time deciding between the two as both to me were beautiful bikes. I was eyeballing a 2012 Pin while I bought the 2013 Boardy. No one can argue the Kingpin was a pure success and the Boardy was the red headed step-child of Victory as pointed out and one of the 25%. Then we all were orphaned...

Only made about 1200 of them as they just sat on the showroom floors. Leading me to acquire mine at 25% below retail and 10% off all the accessories. Hell, when I pulled into Southeast Victory Rally, I could hear all the whispering and mumbling about "Which Model is that?" "Never seen one in the Wild", as I just raised my head proudly, like I was riding a Unicorn...

Yeah that, and I was thinking more along the line of it has two cylinders. Or wait, maybe Polaris copied that from Harley, when they made Victory?

Yeah, yeah, but, but, at least Victory made it so the spark-plug doesn't fire on every upstroke because of, I forgot why they do that... Something with the crankshaft angle of the V and flywheel ratio requiring the unsophisticated ignition system to fire both plugs. And the darn riders like the potato-potato sound...

Well the Victory, just roars as we don't hear a potato thing, but the mechanical music of the valve drive train (scary to HD riders). From a clean sheet of paper design to dominate and spank and herd them HD's into compliance. Thus rule as the Highways of the West as America's Premiere V-Twin...

Then the Indian Scout's ambushed us at the Pass, leaving us scalped and slowly bleeding out as the frozen Master Polaris of the North, rode off into the sunset, on the Scout and Challenger. Bred from the future engines of the Breed... I would argue if it weren't for the Octane engine going into the Scout, giving it such banner success, Victory might have survived under the Headdress as the performance Indian.

Without push-rods...

 

[IndyVictory]

Could just put fake push rods on like Honda puts fake engine fins on liquid cooled bikes. 🤷‍♂️

I think the funniest and also the silliest comment I ever heard regarding the original V92 engine is: “it looks like an air compressor motor”.

But it did till they change the fin configuration... Come on man you know it "was" true.

Better

 

[IndyVictory]

Better fills with water and rusts the spark plugs.

Yes sir, I tended to agree with the 'air compressor motor' assessment. Still funny though.

Polaris certainly started out a little utilitarian in the aesthetics department. As the designs matured they most certainly gained a beautiful form as well as increased function.

Kinda like desert camo, helps it blend into the background more easily & as the old saying goes, outta sites outta mind
