2001 Victory reviews

I have owned my Victory for over two years now and have had ZERO problems with it. I have taken it on fairly long trips, 2,000 plus miles in length and encountered no problems. I am quite satisfied with the performance, and the quality of this motorcycle. I replaced the factory seat with a Corbin Hollywood seat, and I added Champion saddlebags, and Champion saddlebag guards. Show less

I'm 51, have owned HD's, Kawaski, Honda's. Bought my 2001 V92C Custom Cruiser on ebay. Flew to N.C. from Texas and rode it home. Great ride. Here in Texas I've not seen any Victory's on the road at all. Most HD riders dont know what it is. Have put D&D pipes, K&N filter, vented the AirBox and it really goes. Have also added a mustashe bar with highway pegs and light bar. It's old fashioned looking, I get some vibration through the handgripes at around 60. My only problem is getting answeres as to what will fit and what wont. Any owners of 2001 contact me to swap info. Thanks Victory for a really nice bike at a nice price. I paid 7000 for mine and a comparable HD would have been around 14-16000. Show less

The bike has had several minor concerns but the ridability makes them tolerable. I have added the lightbar, leg deflectors, Mustang saddle and highway bars. It rides great on long rides. No its not as smooth as a Goldwing but it is much more fun to ride. I would buy another in a heart beat. I have already test driven the Vegas.....what a bike!!! Who knows I may be reviewing that soon. Show less

BEING A BIKER IS ABOUT BEING FREE AND DIFFERENT. THIS IS A GREAT BIKE! SO WHAT ITS NOT A HARLEY, ITS STILL AMERICAN AND DEPENDABLE. CHANGE IT ENOUGH TO MAKE IT YOUR OWN AND HIT THE HWY. P.S. PHAT BLACK IS THE BEST LOOKING AND THE FASTEST. STRAIGHT DRAG PIPES ARE THE WAY TO GO Show less

I have just put 2K on my 02 V92C and the bike is flawless in running and workmanship a real solid machine. Handles and rides great for a big bike.I have put bags and a Memphis Fats Shield and the bike turns heads. I just recently did 300+ miles and avg 70-80mph the bike ran great. I would recommend this machine with the new Freedom motor to anyone looking for a cruiser. I am sorry to hear about some of the stories of customer support, but I think you need to find a dealer who is there to please you the customer.I am looking to install the Stage one which I hear is an even bigger plus Show less

Bought a slightly cutomized new 2001 SC for a steal of a deal. Had a 2" lowering kit in it that had to go though, I like corners and it scrapes too easily with the kit in. Other than that, it has tons of power and handles great. So far I've put on 2000km and it's been running great. All of the recalls have been done before I picked the bike up so I've had no problems. Great bike if you can get your hands on one. It's too bad they didn't just adjust the styling instead of discontinuing the line. Show less

The 1st month I owned my Victory Cruiser I complained something was wrong with my shifting,and I had severe vibration,every dealership I took it to told me thats how they shifted, within a month my front cylynder cracked from the vibration,Victory replaced it,but vibration still there,it happened again,it was replaced ,vibration still there,I always complained about hesitating and valve backfire,just got run around,got lawyer,I claimed my bike was lemon.I was told I had to have same problem fixed 3 times to have case,my bike now has 4000 miles,last saturday when I was going for a ride with my brothers of Christian Motorcycle Club,the vibration was the most severe. my shifting problem got worst.it Quit shifting and I was stranded on side of highway feeling I have no bragging rights as someones wife came to get me,now tells me it will cost me 50.00 a hour to find my problem,and in 5 days hasn't even took Primary cover off and me being from out of town, yet I complained about problem from 2nd day of ownership,I am now a proud owner of a Victory with 4000 miles sitting in my garage collecting dust because I don't have the money to have them split my cases for repairs,after riding 33 years I don't remember any other brand I rode treat me like this and will soon let the world Know.

I've got 10 grand on mine now and no problems. I drove it from NY to Knoxville Tn in one day with no hitches. Great bike for the bucks. Much smoother than a Harley. I have no regrets. Show less

I bought my 2001 Deluxe cruiser in March of 2001 and since have put in excess o 30 thousand miles without a lick of trouble. Would I do it again? Yes I would in a heart beat. Awesome bike. Show less

I have one of the first 99 collector bikes. Going to buy a HD road glide with a removable tour pack.Victory doesn't have the "touring bike" features. Cruise, Radio, fairing, hard tour pack and most of all a seat like a harley the wife can "tour on". Love my 99 V92c. Can not get anyone in 4 years to answer e-mails phone calls so many I cannot even count dealers get the same run around about the bad trans which as a wet clutch oil cooled system means trans wrecks the motor so drive it till it blows so stay close to home . But it's supposed to be a "tour bike" well I guess tour close to home. Bike design and looks 5 star. Factory communication drove me back to Harley at leat there web site shows you all the options and stage 1 or 2 dyno charts. I love the bike and would have bought one if it just had "tour features" I would even ewait for 2004 but who know what they will have. Try this go tto the Victory web site and find a place where you can click and e-mail anyone contact us on the web site means spend some hours and hack your way in then drive to the factory and bang on the doors shout then leave.
