Two companies pushing the boundaries of motorcycle design - though in completely different directions. I think that one has got it just right and the other oh, so wrong.

Two companies pushing the boundaries of motorcycle design...

Are they?

The Benny has more than just an element of MultiStrada about it, no?

And the Victory has possibly been modeled on a wetbike or, perhaps, a Portaloo.

Some things are so different people dont like them. If the changes were in stages i'm sure it'd grow on you.

TBH it looks like a you're almost supposed to lie on the thing. It'd sure be an interesting ride.

They're both slightly 'off road' styled, so the Tre-k could be though of as Benelli's answer to the Multistrada - though it's much better looking than the Duke.

Not sure how Benelli are pushing the boundaries... They do make lovely bikes, but people have been making lovely bikes since the 30s.

I could be wrong, but I think the Victory might have a polaris jetski turbine in it. Victory are owned by the same company. (anyone else remember the Tularis?)

Looks like the result of a collision between a BMW K1200R and a Sinclair C5 !
