Victory is finished

Night rod has a totally different meaning at our house.

 

The full name of that model is actually Night Rod Special

 

Like it!

 

No problems Rod, it's good healthy pisstaking.
When we were apprentices, all ages growing up together exploring life's new delights you quickly learnt to take the piss and have it taken,
Anybody kicking off were targeted big style, they soon realised it was easier to laugh at themselves than run the gauntlet of abuse every day.
Political correctness, stress in the workplace and tribunals have destroyed the very fabric of the working class hero and produced some right f***ing plonkers, totally incapable of having any fun.

 

i imagine thier will be spares and after service from Polaris and the dealers for years to come,are you still looking to buy one or do you have something else in mind?

 

next nearest dealer is Manchester could be worth phoning the English dealers and see if there is any special prices,might be worth a trip down south

 

If any one went near my bike with a tassel like that I swear I would kill them.
As every one is saying its a pity they are killing the brand off again.
Diavel's aren't really cruisers more a muscle bike. Last time I looked at one something like 150+ bhp.
Look far better than any thing that HD do, unlike HD has modern technology in it so nope not a cruiser.
My Thunderbird is nearer to a HD but has better suspension and brakes.
Of the American bikes the Victory would have been the only one I would have considered but not now at any price unless extremely cheap ( couple of thousand max).
They have now become pretty much a throwaway bike as resale values will plummet, due to lack of support/parts within it's usable lifetime.
I would be surprised if Polaris will continue to make spare parts for very long.

 

The normal Diavel is a muscle bike ,the XDiavel with it's raked out front end and feet forward riding position was brought out by Ducati to compete with the Harley V-ROD, so yeah it's definatley a cruiser albiet a very powerful one!

 

Haven't seen that one Dougie , will have to pop over to my local Ducati dealer and see if I can blag a test ride

 

best part of 20k! Beware taking a test ride from Ducati dealers,if they are the same as Ducati Glasgow the excess if you have an accident is over 1K!!

 

Most test rides are now £500 - £1000 if you drop it!!!

 

I really wanted a Victory Hammer S or a Judge before the demise and although the attention from Polaris is with Indian, how long before they pull the plug on Indian because sales figures dont make enough dollar!! Then what happens to spares etc.

However, I do like this and well tempted but the wheels alone are over £3k )))

 

They say spares for the Victorys will be available for at least 10 years..That Indian does look nice

 

Great looking machine that,

 

Looks very classy

 

Good for you Remember and put some pics up in the other bike thread
