Victory had a booth at the recent Del Mar motorcycle show. I like most of the Victory bikes but that vision is just horrible.

I sat on one and checked it out from all angles and it's ugly in a Chuck Barris kind of way. Garish, tacky, ungainly, embarrassing are words that come to mind.

haha... they could organize group rides to sci fi conventions

First you'd have to get those nerds out of the house. Maybe you could slip poptarts under the door of their mother's basement.

Maybe even style the dash area like their mother's basement and then replace the goofy, mile-long handlebars with a joystick control.

I always like Thew Gong Show. Maybe I'll get used to that Ugly Vision.

I'm talking about the Hollywood guy that made all the ugly cars. Did I get the name wrong?

Gong!

George Barris is the guy.

OK well if Chuck Barris designed motorcycles, it would look like the Vision.

And why do you need a bigger engine? The Suzuki M109 has the same size engine as the vision, but puts out more HP than the Kawasaki 2000.

With anything over 2000cc you are now looking at a bike that weighs a minimum of 850lbs. Don't you think it's a bit much having a 1000lb motorcycle just to have a 2500cc v-twin? At that point you should just get a Boss Hoss and be done with it.

I'd rather a manufacturer get more out of a "smaller" engine and try to keep the weight down.

The last thing Johnny Drops It needs is a heavier motorcycle.
