Marketing contest Regarding this edit, my prime motive was that most of the intricate details about this contest are not notable and are not of encyclopedic interest. These details are primarily things that Victory's marketing department wants to trumpet, such as the folky charm of the winners and how they came from all walks of life and how they document their rides on the bikes Victory lends them, generating more marketing content for Victory. Independent media coverage of this event that Victory put on is nearly nonexistent, and almost all of what exists is nothing more than press releases written by Victory.

The marketing name of this contest, "True American Road Trip Contest" is going to be unfamiliar to almost anyone reading the article; they will be left wondering what that could possibly mean. The section heading "Marketing contest" is much more accurate and informative, telling readers what it is. The fact that it's called True American is obviously highly charged with bias; no doubt the name was chosen for just that reason. Victory should purchase ads on commercial sites if they want to promote that tagline. Policies like

I fully agree. Thanks for raising this. --Biker Biker (talk) 08:10, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Section blanking & removal

I think it would be wise to consider removing or consolidating information in the Models section. If you look at better developed articles like Honda or Harley Davidson, they don't do a detailed model breakdown. Ideas? Thanks Basileias (talk) 17:13, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]


May I also say, that I get the uneasy sensation that this article reads a bit like a commercial. Perhaps if the tone was a little more clinical. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonnycando (talk • contribs) 23:13, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Victory Trikes

I've seen some Victory three-wheeled motorcycles that convince me that they're manufactured at the plants, and not some custom aftermarket job, like you see with many touring motorcycles. Here's a video of one of them, although I certainly wouldn't expect anybody to use it as a reference. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 05:10, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Subjective Language in Ness section

The reference to stodgey old cruiser riders getting cruiser face only found on Harley riders, seems to be pretty subjective, and inappropriate here. Arlen Ness was a legend, I was shocked to learn of his death a few weeks ago...BUT... his work speaks for itself, as does his sons, without the amateurish subjectiveness evident in the language of that section, and this should really be cleared up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.235.183.208 (talk) 15:56, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree.
