any good reviews out there? any thoughts? not much on the www.
Gotta disagree with you on the 9 being better than the Hammer in workmanship. The Hammer has better fit and finish than the 9, i.e., the chrome is nicer, the paint is nicer etc....I agree with everything else though...The Victory Hammer is a nice bike, and may likely be the closest thing to an M109R that is out there on the market. However, the Hammer pales in comparison to the M109R in every category except comfort. It is equally as comfortable as the 9, but not more comfortable in my opinion. The 9 is superior in performance, balance, styling, workmanship, manufacturing, custom upgrade options and aftermarket parts availability. I also used to work with a guy who owned a Hammer. Once he saw my 9, walked around it, inspected it thoroughly and saw me ride away on it, he tracked me down at work about a month later to tell me he was selling his Hammer, to get himself an M109R. The 9 is pound for pound, looks for looks and dollar for dollar the best bike on the market. I own two of them right now, and if I could, I would own at least a total of seven...one for each day of the week!!!
I remember having read a post some time back that compared the Hammer, M109R and a few other cruisers, but I wouldn't know where to find it now. However, I do remember that the 9 was rated much higher than in every way possible.
