Don't own one, but I use to read up on one as a long term test bike in this british motorcycle mag I used to get called Two Wheels Only. The Kingpin model. The testers said it was pretty much bulletproof and had very few problems. Very easy bike to live with. Had more than enough grunt and was a kick to ride, but also easy to cruise with. If I remember right they liked it better than the harleys they had tested. If ya hadn't already, ya could prolly look up some articles in a couple well known motorcycle mags and that would give a good idea about them.

No prob, man. Hmmm, "break-in oil". Interesting. Sounds strange, but hell I dunno. They could be pull'n one on ya or they're be'n legit. Someone on a Victory bike forum might know.
Hope it works out. Ya should post some pics. *wink*

He said there is no such thing as break-in oil and also that my primary runs off the same engine oil .......Guess I'm not goin back to that shop for any work!
