Victory Cross Country Tour
Yes, it's completely over the top and it looks like something Dan Dare would ride, but I love it for being so over the top.
Just look at these specs!

That's a damn shame. I nearly bought a Victory Octane last year, and was seriously thinking about one for later on this year. It's virtually identical to an Indian Scout, but about a grand less expensive due to the different badge on the tank.
ReplyDeleteI notice that prices in the States have nose-dived as a result of the news, but not over here so far. I may hold off and wait and see what happens, but I so really don't need yet another motorcycle from a defunct company.
