I have owned a 2003 Victory Vegas for 5 months now. It is absolutely the best cruiser I have ever ridden. My buddies have Deuce´s, Fat Boys and a Wide Glide. They all agree there is no comparison. My bike is far and away a better handling and better riding bike. The only drawback is lower peg height causing the pucker factor when cornering. I am used to it. Their argument is lack of accessories available to this bike. I have the same complaint. The seat is none too comfortable after spending a couple hours in it but neither are the Harley´s. Am thinking about upgrading to a Mustang seat or perhaps designing and building my own. All in all, it is a dream to ride, turns more heads than my buddies´ bikes and is actually MORE american made than the Harley. I´ll never own anything but a Victory again.
