    That was last months issue..I subscribe to this rag. Harley still gets my nod. The other 2 look like obvious copy cat knock offs no offense.

    On topic I'd like to add that the Indian Roadmaster is going in the right direction. There is parts about the Roadmaster that I like.

    And it looks like Polaris is scaling back a smidge its extreme star trek look. When they first came out they were extremely star trekie looking IMHO ...WAIT a minute they didn't use the Vision, instead they used the cross country...I cry foul. They should have used the Vision which is the equal to the Ultra and the Road master. The vision still looks like a ugly star trek deal. I'd ride a Indian Roadmaster all day. You won't catch me near a Vision never mind sitting on it:

    Question..IF Harley used its Ultra and Indian used it Roadmaster why didn't Victory use its Vision? Are they ashamed of it? I would be.

    The Victory cross country tour is Victorys version of a HD street glide with a tour pac...not fair. Still came in last place.

    Cross country is close to the other two. The vision is more BMW/gold winger style

    bullsh*t. The Ultra and the Roadmaster are the GW equal or better. Victory short sheeted the comparrison competition.

    Talking design. Gold wing and vision are bikes with body fairings

    Cross country ultra and road master have bar mounted farings. So they are very similar styles abc are marketed to same buyer

    Wing dingers and bimwah riders are different birds

    How's your bullshit taste when it's tossed back lol

    What a coincidence the Vision has a bar mounted fairing too. Victory misrepresented. And your feeble attempt at a defense of Victory's cheating is not plausable. Your explaination still wreaks of BS.

    Would have been nice to have had an even playing field between the Vision, Ultra and Roadmaster, thats all. Victory cheated so we the consumer have been denied!

    No disrespect meant towards HRK. I just think victory should have used the Vision in the comparrison and it's odd/strange that they did not all lame excuses aside.

    Using the cross country is more equal to the street glide than the Ultra when the Vision is the top of the for the Victory like the Indian road master and the HD Ultra is top of the line for their respective manufacturer. How can you say that the vision is not equitable to the Ultra? Granted there are more expensive variations of the Ultra but apples and oranges, they're just gussied up Ultras. Victory is simply embarassed of the Vision,that's why they didn't use it. It's a borderline abomination. U G L Y.

    I agree it's ugly but and it does have a very limited (small) following, and the Cross Country TOUR model would be closer to the ultra but not quite.

    Not quite...the Vision would have been the better road test comparison to the indian and harley.disapointed that Victory did not,was very much looking forward to that.
