checked out the cross country an almost got the denim red 1 beautiful bike but was on the victory forum some issues with reliability little things but just enough to keep me on a honda. Not disappointed with my decission i usually keep a bike for 8 to 10 yrs ( ok im old at least my kids say so) so i know the f6b will be good to me like all my other honds ( cl's xr's valkryie vtx ) team red for me.
My wife has had both knees and hips replaced. We have been riding a Kawasaki Nomad for the last 7 years. Wanting something new and better for her comfort ,and something maybe easier to mount and dismount ; we tried all the touring bikes. The Vic Cross Country was in the picture ,but she wasn't all that impressed. The F6B was the last bike we looked at. Wow , she had a much easier time getting on ; and could dismount side saddle style. That sold her! End of story!
I had a 2011 Victory Vision. I had nothing but problems out of it. ABS module, rear shock are the problems I had and it seemed the warranty never covered anything. Even though I had a 5 year warranty. Victory does not stand behind its product and the dealerships are a bad joke. I now own a F6B and I will never own another Victory motorcycle again.
Well I currently have a Victory Cross Roads (windshield/hardbags only), which is in the shop for a new starter. Bike has 5k miles. I know stuff happens but this is the first bike of the 20+ that I've owned that just about stranded me on a trip. I knew about the small dealer network thing (also had BMW's, same deal) but this really drove it home for me. It took my local dealer over a week to get part and install it. Took an F6B on a long demo this past Sat and I don't see the Vic being around my garage much longer. I think Vic makes a great bike but have doubts about their quality control.
I rode the Vision and felt very comforable, lots of power but, just could not warm-up to the "Buck Rodgers" design. The Cross tour [or what ever it's called] didn't feel as good as the F6B.
\Never had intentions on buying a motorcycle, nothing out thier really grabbed me like the Honda.
