Jal NM | I thought so too. I don't care what the badge looks like on the new vic's as it does not effect the ride of the bike one way or another. |

seattle, wa | Does this make my 08 worth more cuz I got the lighted badge?
I like the new logo. It's nothing earth shattering, but there's nothing wrong with it either.
I am dissappointed in Polaris for cutting cost on the Vision. |

Better buy a few replacements, wont me too long before they are discontinued.
But then again......it might not be too hard to come up with a custom/one of a kind replacement. The wires are already there, just replace the bulb and put on a new face. |

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | Lights - Shmites - who gives a f**k.
BUT !!! - Victory is THROWING OUT it's connection to the WORLD - and going "USA USA USA" like a goddamned chant at the Olympics. Which sounds something like "WE ARE LIKE HARLEY" "WE ARE LIKE HARLEY" "WE ARE LIKE HARLEY". Well folks, STUFF THAT !!!!
I am CANADIAN - and proud to drive the BEST MOTORCYLE IN THE WORLD - and I announce to all who ask - "It is from POLARIS and is Made In The USA".
This new badge throws out the WORLD map - and throws out POLARIS - and throws out the 58 years of HISTORY of the company. that's BULLSHIT ....
and 'teeny brain' thinking - and that is so sad. Sorry ... IMHO

you are right polaris does have 58+ years of history as a atv company etc.. Victory on the other hand does NOT have all those years so having something say 1950 something on our badge is useless and borderline misleading if you are referring to Victory, the bike people would be talking to you about at that time.. its not like victorys' are using polaris's motors and what not from their 50+ years of experience so the years mentioned means nothing. and you would have to be insane to NOT try and use the MADE IN USA to your advantage. in this economy with so many people out of work and so many jobs going over seas, Harley used the hell of of that slogan and its done them pretty well.. even now with their bikes being less and less (Made in USA) people still say it proudly.... I hear all the time i buy Harley cause its American made.. if thats the only reason why they buy HD then now they have another option...
Im sure if Victory thought mentioning the 1950's on their product was to their advantage they would use it! it sounds alot better than 1998/99. but its not true.. victory didnt come out then.. and if you dont like atvs and what not Who Cares when an PowerSports company was created..

Southeast Iowa | The new badge does not impress me..........it looks like a lot of V8 styled logos from days gone by. The Victory "Tank Badge" had brand recognition that took 13 years to develop now for some reason the want to start over. They must have hired a new Marketing Manager that needs to earn his keep.
The good news is they will need a whole new line of shirts and coats. |

Chattanooga, TN | It's starting to grow on me. I kind of like the nostalgic symbol/throwback to an earlier time. I really never did like the old symbol, and saw it as an obstacle to the brand, but their performance sold me. However, the phrase "The New American Motorcycle" doesn't really match the new badge which has a '50-ish style to it. I don't think the removal of the world is a slight to anybody except people who need one more thing in the world to get upset about. |
