    I am looking at the gunner model and possibly adding a pillion for the wife. I've heard some ups and downs on the Victory brand. What's your experience with them and what are you riding?

    I don't have one but I"m really liking the looks and the price of the new Scout.

    Since I started this thread... Bought a gunner with a 2-1 stage 1 exhaust and passenger seat. Love this bike!

    I sat on the scout. I'm 5'7" and it seemed small to me. I felt more comfortable on my old Yamaha vstar 1100, though the new indian 1100 is an awesome engine.

    I rode a Scout at a demo event on Saturday...it has some major power for the weight. It felt light as a feather (lighter than my 750 Shadow), and is balanced extremely well. It got squirrely at first as I was not expecting the power.

    Good price, great fit (I'm only 5'8" on a good day), and I love the belt drive / aesthetics. I'm seriously considering this as my next bike over a FXDB, FXDL, or Sportster.
