Take a good look at Victory before you buy one. I hear they're a little underpowered. Not really bad, just not as smooth on the power as some others.
The styling on a few of the Victory models is pretty bizarre. When you see coming at you on the road, you immediately know it's Victory by the front fairing. It's freaking W I D E. Quote:

The Rocket III is a monster, 2300 cc. Big bike. Two of my friends just bought new Victory cruisers. I have a older Vic and I love it.

Also, not sure if you're aware, but Harley's top touring bikes now have 6.5" nav systems, water cooling, linked ABS braking, etc. The BMW above is also a good choice. I would stay away from Victory and especially Indian as they're even more overpriced than other brands, and Indian isn't yet proven. |

No vibration issues except at idle, since the engine/transmission/swingarm unit is isolated from the frame with rubber mounts. You'd only lose your hearing if you changed the pipes, since stock Harleys are quieter than most motorcycles. No issues with oil leaks on any of my Harleys. It's not the 1990s any more.

The Goldwing is also a good bike. But once it's optioned up to match the H-D Ultra Limited, it's $3,000 more expensive. You'd have to decide if the higher engine power is worth $3,000.
