Sheesh, will it ever end? Almost 20 years of Victory motorcycles and people still don't know what it is. It looks like its the owner this time?

Honda Victory 2012

Must be a used car lot or some other type of reseller that took the bike as a trade-in. Nobody who owns any bike would make that mistake.

I should buy it and park it next to my Yamaha. At least that's what a guy asked me once, "Victory, nice looking bike! Who makes that, Yamaha?"

The fame and noteriety of our beloved brand...

 

[Tightrope]

I had a guy walk up and say, "Nice bike. Who makes that?"

I replied, "Victory."

"So it's a Harley?"

"Yep. Have a nice day."

Exactly! Perfect reply. At that point trying to explain it would only pi$$ you off.

When I tell them it (was) made by Polaris the light of understanding flickers in their eyes followed by the all-knowing head nodding.

Had my Nomad called a Road King, My Victory called a Harley, My Dodge mistaken for a ford, and someone called me Doug, once. Just don't call my wife anything other than Kelli.

 

[iabob]

Him, "Nice bike is that a Honda?"
Me, "No, it's a Ferrari"
Him, "I didn't know they made motorcycles"
Me, "They just started selling them about six months ago"
Him, "Wow, it's beautiful"

There are no badges on my Kingpin.

Honda Victory 2012

I saw 2012 $16,000....mine 2014 but no paint job should get same :rofl3: or get painted and ask $24,000

 

[MagVic CCT]

Well, if it was one of them HarleyhondaVictory's, then the paint would be justification for the extra 12 grand.

 

[Flyboy]

I have heard Victory... is’t that made by Yamaha?

I replied, "Victory."

"So it's a Harley?"

"Yep. Have a nice day."

Yep, a big part of why Victory just never really caught on....

 

[nakota7]

I wish they had a video of the 6 feet of flames shooting out of the exhaust...

 

[Old-Gramps]

Probably did have but the camera with the user got slightly burnt whilst taking the picture.....

 

[Bujee1]

The guy who did that to his HondaVictory should be slapped across his ButtFace!

 

[PAF]

The odd thing is that so many people love the looks of Victory bikes. I get lots of positive comments and many good looks and nods. If it were not for bikers being so brand oriented I think Victory would have done much better. Vics are unique and good looking but not a Harley or rice burner so no go!!

When someone tells me it looks like a space ship, I tell them it's because it is. They put wheels on it to keep the FAA off our backs.

I have to admit, I doubt that paint job being associated with 911, is spooky to me. I know it is art, but glad it is on a Honda...
