As a Buell owner you've not only already bought an HD, you've bought a Sporty
I haven't owned a Victory but I have ridden a couple. They are much closer to a metric cruiser than a Harley in the fit and finish as well as the style. The engines are brilliant, loads of torque and plenty of go.
As far as I can see the main issues with owning a Victory are:
- It's not a Harley - if you can put up with the general public assuming that it is and being ignored by HOG then you'll be fine
- The depreciation - from new they drop like a stone, even the depreciation on nearly new is eye watering. Don't be fooled by the inflated second hand prices in the Victory dealers, you'll find out what I mean if you try and sell privately
- The styling - if you like the bikes then great but the whole 'Ness' thing is a bit OTT outside of Las Vegas IMHO
Having said that I love the big tourer but I'd not spend £19k on it

Oi, a Buell is not a sporty !!
They are much better than that.
Other HD clubs are available you know
The best bits of a Buell, Eric should have involved Maz, that would have been a Buell of beauty,
Maz is the Buell equivalent of Steptoe, in case yir wondering
). With a bit more money (setup, full exhaust sytem etc.) you can gain up to 10% ish normally. You are looking at a grand for this from a main dealer.
