I will most likely need one in the very near future if I trade the '16 next year. In fact, I may be pushing up flowers after the wife is finished with me.

Got my disabled tag coming, Victory is its own worst enemy IMO
I attended the big bike show at the convention center in DC on Saturday 1/7 and Polaris had a lot of floor space and were actively pushing the Victory, Indian and Slingshot lines big time.It was quite a shock to see the announcement on Monday morning (1/9) about Victory.

Is insider selling against the law, like insider trading?
Fearless
Gone But Not Forgotten
they may not have known
Sometimes the dealers are the last to find out just for that purpose sad but true :Shrug: ride safely fearless :cxtv:

So were the folks that build them. Sucks
demise of Victory
With all the time and effort they put into marketing Victory, and then to just shut the doors? Even if I was so inclined to buy an Indian, or a four wheeler, I certainly wouldn't buy one from Polaris now. Who's to say they aren't going to do the same thing with Indian or their four wheelers they just did to Victory? I personally think they tried to go too big too fast with the Razors and the Slingshots and the rest of the stupid **** they've come up with in the last few years - got in over their heads in a stagnant market.

Gotta agree. Going to be interesting to see just how long the slingshot lasts.
I keep reading that they are selling great. that's funny cause I have yet to see one on the road. Or maybe I did and thought it was just another car.:Shrug:
