I've never owned either.
I don't know anyone on the "inside."
VStarRider's "30,000 Foot View" sounds VERY plausible.

I concur with the "Bozo" comment - that made me chuckle audibly.
I thought the first one I saw was the product of Arlen Ness and Picasso getting high and designing a motorcycle....
Polaris, by law, MUST support the Victory line for 10 years with parts and service.
Now, how well they actually do that is apparently another story.

Yes, the HD CVO line and the Indian "top bike" are over $40k. There IS a market for those in some quantity as I know the CVOs are moving off the floor here in PCola.

There's a lot of "disposable income" out there - next time you are in an airport magazine store, peruse a copy of The Robb Report. It's a gorgeous magazine catering to people who buy $1.2m watches, $1m cars, boats and $gagillion private jets. Yes, there is LOTS of money out there that I know I'll never see. And I'm fine with that.

Is it necessarily the market to which THIS audience caters? Not really.
Most of us are a bit more practical and while we recognize motorcycling as a hobby/toy/game - we do like the power and styling of the F6B.
And the bang for the buck ratio can't be beat.

I wish well for American companies.
I wish well for the global economy.
I wish all y'all a safe ride today.
Cheers,
Steve
