Of any cruiser- except maybe a Triumph (that parallel twin is too freaking cool), Vic's look the best.

In the Dec. issue of Motorcyclist, they tested a Victory Kingpin 8-ball against an HD Cross Bones. Guess which won?

The Victory, with a more comfortable seat and bars, better suspension, better frame, better brakes, better handling, more torque, more horsepower, and a $3k lower price tag.

Or the HD, with over sprung, underdamped suspension, a tractor seat, pain in the ass ergoes, barely adequate brakes, and a shifty dead fish frame.

The Hardley of course, because it's ancient history "oozes coolness." They been smokin' strong stuff. (all the descriptions are nearly direct quotes- I'm lazy)
