2001 Victory reviews

I've recently picked up my first Victory, and I must say this bike is good. I also currently own two HD's and although I love my Harleys, credit must go where credit is due. The Victory V92SC handles extremely well for a cruiser, has plenty of power, and the Brembo brakes bring this baby to a halt in a quick hurry. I have the yellow with white racing stripe paint scheme and it gets alot of attention. I've just completed my brake in and thus far am totally pleased. However, no bike is perfect and this bike is no different. At about 1800rpm's there is a slight howl in the engine, Victory claims this totally normal for this engine and I've yet to detect a problem of any kind with it. Also, shortly after picking up the bike my neutral indicator light went on the blink. I brought this up to the dealer and it was replaced without fuss. The Victory dealer was easy to deal with and very personable. Best part is the price !! I think Victory is going to do just fine. Show less

Recently purchased and not disappointed. Have read the reviews in Rider and other mags and they really don't do justice to this fine piece of equipment. Have a 2000 Kaw Vulcan Classic that can't come close in ride or comfort. If you haven't tried it, I urge you to take a ride. Harley may just have to take a back seat on this one. Show less

I'm an owner, rider of a '01 Deluxe, can't say enough good things about the ride. It's got giddyup an go, handles, and stops, does well in all categories. You gotta give Polaris R&D credit for picking all the good traits in other cruisers on the market to build a new one from scratch. This is by far the best ride I've had the pleasure to own. Plus for a relatively new venture for the company the problems have been few and they have been responsive for the fixes. Decently priced for what you get and it's more American than a Harley. BTW stop in and go for a test ride (try that at the Harley shop) and you get a free T-Shirt. You don't care for the shirt, give it to the wife or kids to sleep in! Show less

After reading about Victory's for years and shopping for a new bike to replace my 17 year old bike I decided to buy one in August of 2001.I have no regrets in my decision to buy a Victory instead of a Heritage.It has good power,handling and stands out in the crowd.My dealer, Tri-County Polaris in Cincinnati has also been great to deal with.

My first new bike in 18 years and I looked long & hard before deciding! I put 500 miles on it the second day I had it and, believe me, every mile was great! It pulls like a tractor in the mountains. Doesn't know what a hill is and hangs sweet on the curves! I put all the extras on it I could find and it gets plenty of looks. Even got stopped by a policeman so he could get a look at it!! Kudos to you Victory for a job well done. Show less

I own a "99 v92c. It's #2607. My friend Scott at Boiling Springs Cycle has taken very good care of it for me. It's not as refined as some bike, even the new V92C's but it's a hoss. If you're in the upstate of South Carolina and looking for a new cruiser but don't want the big price tag, go to Boiling Springs Cycle and see Scott , Sue and Kenny. They'll treat you right. And as for the guys at Victory. Great bike. Show less

A very smooth ride, corners well, plenty of power, lots of brakes for stopping and looks great with pipes and the extra things you can add direct from Victory. It is 100 times better than my 2000 Indian Chief. Show less
