2004 victory reviews

I've been a Harley rider for 45 years and I was skeptical to ride anything else. But I gave this Victory a ride and was amazed at the comfort, performance and horsepower. The ride is much better than most cruisers. The bike is all steel and quality built. I bought this one as an investment and if I could afford to, is keep it! Amazing bike! Show less

Owned about 45 different motorcycles in the last 52 years, Concours 10,R100,Gold Wings,Road King,Vstrom 1000, Bonnevilles, Norton's and many others. I was run over by a drunk driver head on and have much steel on my body. I'm getting old and finicky about the bike I ride, it must not be to heavy but heavy to resist cross winds and truck wakes, it must have adequate wind protection with a good windshield and intergrated luggage that doesn't look like an after thought. It needs low end grunt but doesn't have to keep up with a Hayabusa, it looks like a motorcycle not Darth Vader, reliable with shaft drive has to have higher reliability than BMW, no over complex ECM, fuel mapping but carberated simple. Handle good at slow parking lot speed and confidence inspiring in the Twisties, comfortable and light enough for an old man to ride. Cost < 20,000 US dollars right, well I bought one 3 months ago with 8,000 miles on it for 2500, think it's a keeper if do it will last longer than me good night Show less

After having the children leave home I decided to purchase my first bike. I read a lot of reviews. I went to a Victory dealer in White Plains, MD., they were so nice. No question was a dumb question. I went back to them to purchase my Arlen Ness. WOW! as a first time rider (I took the MBC-worth it!). I'm totally impressed with this machine. It has no problem pulling away from anyone and getting out of the way of those crazies in four wheels! The power is awesome! There's lots of torque, even riding two-up. The handling is great, I feel like "one" with the bike. Totally reliable no breakdowns and a lot of my Harley friends bikes have been in the shop while mine keeps rollin' (salesman told me that, too). The seat is not the most comfortable, but I'll trade that for downtime any day. If your looking at a "Vic", get it, you won't be disappointed! We need a closer dealer to Baltimore, but hey that's what riding is for. Enjoy your Victory! Show less

I have owned a bike from each manufacturer over my years of riding and none come close to the dependability, smoothness of ride and all around great looks of this machine. Polaris has hit the nail on the head with these bikes as everyone wants to know where to get one up here in Canada. They are starting to take off big time up here. I own a Harley Electra Glide also and am wanting to trade it in for a cross country this year. I am keeping my 2004 Vegas. Way to go Polaris they are simply Perfection. Show less

Been riding for 30+ years. Owned all makes, Jap and American and this is the best bike I've ever ridden! Also owned a 99 Vic 92C. I just read a review of the cross roads/country and can't wait to test ride one! I'm counting my pennies already! I also talked my best friend into buying a Kingpin!! Show less

I'm on my third Vic. I had an 01 V92C. Also a great bike, but I fell in lust with the Vegas. I bought an 06 Vegas and rode it for two years. fast, sleek & sexy. Everything I'm not. I missed the big cruiser feel. I found a new 04, untitled Touring Cruiser in '08 and traded the Vegas in on it. I couldn't be happier. Awesome bike. I does everything I want it to do. Show less

This bike is 5 yearts old and I still get continuous compliments about how good the bike looks. And it's just as reliable too! I leave all my Harley buddies in the dust! Show less

First exposed to the Vicotry line in 2004 while touring and had to have one. Found the one I wanted in Baltimore area and drove it back. After an hour on it I felt like I had been on it for years. Have been to both coasts of the U. S. and Canada and into South Dakota and the Blue ridge Mountians averaging 500 to 600 miles per day for a week or two per trip. Comfortable and as reliable as it gets. Turns a lot of heads and sparks many a conversation. Show less

I think this product overall is great. I've owned Harley's, Guzzi's and Beemers along with a couple of jap bikes and by far this is the best responding motorcycle I've had. I've been riding for over 30 years and have put a lot of sores on my butt. The only two real complaints I have are the seat is a little hard on long trips and there are not a lot of custom parts to find for these bikes. I do like the bike to look a little like I created some of the look and this I'm finding hard with Victory. I would and do recommend this product to other folks looking for a good motorcycle.

This is the second Victory I have owned and it is just as good as it gets. What a ride and it's a looker too. It's a 2004 Victory V92TC. Purple Thunder with Silver Hot Rod Flames. It just turned 11,000 miles and I traded a Vic Vegas to get it. Show less
