Impressive specs on that beast [smilie=e: ,but I'm not to thrilled about the looks. [smilie=d:[/quote]
I dont mind the looks, its awful weird seeing 3 tailpipes though. the funny thing is that even though it weighs 700+ pounds, its all slung so low you cant feel it. On the 28 miles Triumph test ride, we were going through twisties at 80 mph, at 3200 or so rpm. the damn things dont redline till 8.5k i think it was. thats alot of gap right there.
To me, the Victory Vegas blew every Harley i've ever ridden away, and this triumph blew the vegas away. now if i only had 16k to buy one...

Victory it seems to me has taken that classic look to the next level and built a better bike. *[i] Ducks and runs like heck from hail of beer cans and wallet chains from Harley faithfull...*[/i]
*ahem* [smilie=e:
Triumph surely dares to be different and I like 'em for it. Need to see the Rocket in person perhaps before passing final judgement. Would love a test drive but alas no Triumph dealer in my area. [smilie=s:[/quote]
I agree, the only downside to getting a Victory over a Harley is that you dont become an automatic member of the "I just paid way too much money for my bike" club.
I thought the Victory Hammer looked terrible till I saw it in pictures, so you might like it.
