Guest Ken8143 Posted September 22, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 22, 2007 The Victory shop close by the house had open house with bells and whistles and opportunity to ride them. Rode the Las Vegas model. Standard engine - 100 cu in, 85 hp, 110 ft/# torque. This bike is not your father's Oldsmobile. With those 6 speeds and wide power band, that thing scoots. Probably weighs half of my 1st gen, but anyhow. I liked that the driver pegs were way forward. Felt more comfortable than what I am used to. Satisfying rumble - the group I rode with went past a field of cows - they scampered away. Hope it did not impact too much on milk production! Great acceleration, fantastic brakes, nice ride. Not sure I love the looks, but the performance is impressive. Handles great in the twisties. Does not have any instruments other than speedometer. The gears clunk pretty hard when shifting. At $17K not ready to trade in my 87 VR....but holy cow what a nice ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yama Mama Posted September 22, 2007 Share #2 Posted September 22, 2007 Hey if I did not know better, I would have thought that was a paid advertisement. Glad you had fun! Ron and I always talk about test driving other bikes. but never do. I think it is always nice to test the competition. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
