I made the purchase and picked it up yesterday from El Cajon Victory Indian. I am now the proud owner of a 2017 Victory Octane.
After trying the other sport-cruisers they had to offer I decided the Octane was it. Having ridden the Scout and Scout Sixty, it definitely IS NOT a Scout. While some things are shared between both models the Octane is still its own beast. More off-the-line power, more aggressive powerband, a little lower gearing, wheelie-happy, and more comfortable controls.
I am ecstatic with my purchase - partly due to getting the "bro deal" and ending up in a great spot on the money. I'll be riding it to Aliso Viejo Cars and Coffee tomorrow, too.
