RE: Vic vs. HD
I have a 2010 Victory Cross Roads with 7500 miles on it. I bought it new. I also just purchased a 2012 HD TriGlide, 3rd owner, 3800 original miles. I will say this. The Vic has a 106, the HD has a 103. Both are bone stock. I know the HD is heavier than the Vic due to the trike package. The Vic is a LOT faster everywhere, and the gearing is better. The HD however is lot smoother up through the gears and it has a much higher geared 1st gear than most street bikes I've ridden - in other words it needs a lot more clutching to get it going. I guess it all comes down to which dealer you want to spend your money at. Both are great bikes - but each one has a different purpose.
