It's a nice bike, but too much money. And that fat tire is just following the moronic trend of "bigger is better", just like car wheels. It won't be long until some manufacturer one-ups them and slaps a 300 series tire on a bike, right from the factory. It looks cool up to a point, but there's a fine line between looking good and looking ridiculous. That size tire ceratinly does nothing for good handling (which is an oxymoron anyways, when it comes to cruisers...)
I'd take a Victory over a Harley though, only for the reason that way too many people think that a Harley is the only bike to own, and that everything else is garbage, when they really don't have a clue. My brother in laws wife for instance: They're the typical R.U.B. type (rich urban bikers). They came over to my house, and his wife looks at my SV1000 and says "You should have bought a Harley, it's a real bike".. This bitch is the biggest yuppie whiner I've ever seen, who's never even looked at a bike until her husband bought one, yet now she's an expert. He's bought into the "Buy every Harley related item known to man" thing too....
It's comical, really. Oh well, I'm ranting.
If I had to buy a cruiser, it'd be a Yamaha Warrior.
