Interesting paragraph... appears Victory owners LOVE them!

 

Would I buy another Vic? ABSOFRIGGINLUTELY !

 

But owner satisfaction—i.e., happiness—is an entirely different measure from reliability. Eighty percent of Victory owners said they would definitely buy the same bike if they were to do it all over again. Harley-*Davidson owners were quite happy, with 72 percent responding likewise, trailed closely by Honda at 70 percent. All other brands were below 70 percent.
