Seems J.D. Powers was testing a new model Victory bike it's named the "Recall" anyway he wound it up to about 1500 RPM when the engine let go, knocking the front wheel off. J.D. went over the handle bars and got some road rash and trauma. The bike must be a secret prototype thing. I hear the "Recall" mentioned on their web site often, but I've never seen a picture of it. After the accident, Fuji Film, the Japanese Co. that owns Victory said they might move the company back to Japan. This could hurt Harley Davidson"s sales, ever since Victory came out with the Vision HDs Tour bike sales have gone up 38.4 or 38.7 %. I'm not sure which, but you could check with Joe B , he knows all about HD sales and stock. J.D.s doing allright, he's on a floor with other trauma patients, mostly people that have seen the Vision up close.

  1. so much for the vision of being a great American bike, HarleyDavidson is the ONLY way to go.  old farts like me saw the MoCo in its infancy.  the Recall may be new grounds to keep looking up to HarleyDavidson.  it will take over 100 years to prove that they are worth their mettle.  i've been told they use recycled toyotas for the frames of victories. no wonder!!


  2. 1st Q 2008 motorcycle sales were down 10.9%, 173,922 from 195,092 compaired to the 1st Q of 2007.

    Steet bike sales were down 11.2%

    Dual Sports sales were UP 7.5%

    Off Road bikes down 17.1%

    Scooter sales are way UP 23.6%

    In the U.S. market Honda sales the most bikes with HD coming in 2nd, then followed by Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki.

    The Victory is almost dead last cause they produce so few bikes

    HD ONLY sales are down 33.1% for the 1st Q of 2008 compaired to last year

    the only bikes that are selling are the scooters and the small 250 to 500cc dual sport and sport bikes

    also, the Japanese have lowered their prodction and are making 30% less bikes as of May 2008

  3. There is no J.D.Powers.  That's the name of a consumer opinion company.

    Fuji Film owns Victory....more BS.
