How reliable is the 2007 Victory hammer?
I am looking to hold a 2007 Victory Hammer, I enjoy the way it looks and rides but I need some advice on how much it costs to avow them. How much do you usually pay each year for scheduled maintenance and how is the gas mileage. Also if anyone has any real warning on victory, other than buy a harley, please let me know this too.

Victory Hammer gets about 35 to 40 miles per gallon. Giving the mean range inbetween fill-ups at approx 170 miles. Victory is a good bike and if I were current to get another cruiser, Victory would be at the top of my list. Maintenance costs will depend on how much you ride it and where you white-hot...the best place to go to get prices is where you plan to have it serviced. Ask them how often the bike needs serviced and how much the living costs will be for the Hammer.

KTM super duke 990 or Victory Hammer?
I am looking into buying my third thoroughfare motorcycle and have so far narrowed it down to these two. I know they are of 2 completely different styles and execute completely different. My riding is split about 60/40 highway/megalopolis. Have driven both and still can't decide. Looking for a few opinions on both.
My other 2 bikes are a Kawasaki KLR 650 and a Honda 599. Map on trading in the 599.

It would be hair-splitting to know what your other 2 bikes are! Are you looking for diversity in capabilities, or diversity in dash?
My personal choice would be the Super Duke - it is a kick arse in. It is NOT a dual sport, as some folks have suggested, more of a sport-extreme motard. If you are replacing the 599, it should put a big grin on your face.
If you are looking for a luxo-cruiser, so with the Hammer, of you want to really cut it up in the twisties like you can't do on a KLR, pick the KTM.

I'm getting back into riding after 5 yrs. I want retro looks, with performance and comfort. What should i buy?
The bikes I have been looking at are (listed in the pecking order im leaning right now) Ducati GT1000 or Triumph America. While not so retro looking I am also making allowance for the Victory Hammer, Triumph Rocket 3 and the Harley Davidson V-Rod.
I have extensive experience on slime bikes having had my first one at the age of 6. I also have about 10 years of experience on the roads but riding nothing bigger then a 600 cruiser there. I havent ridden anything in 5 years and I'm needles about some of the larger engines later on my list.
I will use the bike mostly around town but once every two of weeks I will be hitting the highway for a couple of hours.
I would like some professional riders comments on what they think would be best for my needs. I'm arguable to new suggestions but I have no interest in the Japenese bikes at all.

I do in a 2006 Harley Electra-Glide, and also have a 2002 Honda 750 ACE (a cruiser). I got back into riding about 4 years ago, after a 30-year or so layoff. I bought the Honda, took the MSF Underlying Rider's Course, and rode it about 203 years before buying the H-D last Valentine's Day. First, let me subscribe to that you take an MSF course before you get back on a bike - it will tune up your riding abilities and help you a lot in adjusting to "spirit on the street" on a bike after your lay-off from riding. Next, I would have to say that you are looking at a pretty big swoop up from riding a 600cc cruiser five years and more ago to a Ducati, Triumph America or V-Rod. Frankly, the only one of those you should very likely consider at this stage of the game would be the Triumph America. The Triumph Zoom, which is aptly named, should be off your list completely, at least until you get a year or two's common experience on a relatively big-bore bike - that thing could really eat your lunch. Titillating, extreme performance, and far too much temptation to twist that right wrist - it can get upwards of 140 MPH in a heartbeat. It is unreservedly capable of leaving most riders mentally well behind it, but your body will still be there at the crash spot. The Ducati and V-Rod are awfully quick, too. The Triumph America is still pretty adept, but is probably in a more manageable range at your current level of proficiency. I'd quite recommend it as your best choice, from those you are considering, at this point.
I went through something of a alike resemble process before I bought the Harley. I considered and tested a Honda VTX-1800, a Kawasiki Vulcan 2000, a Vanquish Rocket III, and several other bikes before I bought my H-D Electra-Glide. Although I was a die-hard "chopper" guy back in the late '60s and '70s (when they were genuine choppers, that you had to build yourself, including any and all custom parts - there just weren't any wont m/c parts manufacturers back then - not the current "curved/swoopy" manner bikes they call choppers now), I found that I had gravitated toward becoming a "bagger." My changes to the Honda, after exhibition mods, went through a series of mods improving lighting (both to see with and with to be seen, front and tag end), better seating, and a series of saddle bags (when I was young, I detested saddle bags on motorcycles). In any casket, that experience, and considering the best way to add bags that looked good and also had too bad storage to any of the big cruisers I was considering led me to desire hard bags. I was relatively hesitant to buy an H-D, both because of price and my experience with some of the H-Ds I had owned back in the '70s (AMF days, not a auspicious time for H-D). However, I finally decided on the E-Glide, and I'm very happy with it. I'm not irritating to tell you to buy one; however, I must say that I was glad I had put a lot of miles on the Honda after I got back into riding before I bought the 'Soar - it still took a bit of transition to get used to the much heavier bike, and I was glad I didn't hardly get on one right after getting back into riding. Don't over-do on your first bike when first returning to riding. You can always commerce up a year or two down the road, and you may find your wish list to be a bit different at that time. In any proves, have fun, and ride safe.
