2006 Victory reviews

First new bike in 2006 so it would not be unfair to compare to previous used bikes. I did quite a bit of searching for the right one, and the right dealer. I saw this one at a dealer closer to my home and had to get it, but wasn't too thrilled about the dealer. Stopped by another dealership and received great service! This is a perfect bike, overall look, performance, ride and price!! I have only put 3k miles and look forward to many more. Great bike and great Dealership! Show less

I have ridden al ot of bikes since I started riding, and I have to say my 07 8 Ball is the best bike so far. I ride with a lot of Harley guys and my bike always gets more looks. Victory hit the nail square on the head with this horse. Show less

I have wanted a Vegas since the first time I saw one in late 2002... Well, 4+ years later I bought a brand new one and I'm in love! I had a Honda before this, it was a good bike but it had uh, well, no soul! This Victory gives me sense of pride in the fact it's AMERICAN made and not a piece of over priced junk like brand X. Victory is WAY ahead of brand X in engineering and styling. Just look at it, DAMN it's sexy and it's so, so clean. No ugly oil tanks, linkages, etc. to look at. Oh, did I mention this SOB RUNS! I added a set of pipes, a fuel controller and a air intake and it runs low 12s all day long!(12.18 @ 107) MY only complaints are all the people drooling on it wherever I go and the brand X guys being so jealous! Also, the factory mufflers/pipes suck. Show less

I wanted one for years, then a friend and I noticed the Victory line. He bought an 8-Ball, and I bought a Jackpot. The both of us could not be happier. The speed, torque, and handling are awesome. The 100ci power plant is a bear. Victory changed my mind and my Harley friends love it. It looks like a custom bike right out of the box. Show less

I bought my Victory 8 Ball June 2006 and since then we've clocked up 11,000 miles together. I have ridden to Italy twice (Rome/Salerno), Spain (Madrid), France twice (Paris/Cannes) and never had any problems. I've actually stopped to help Harley riders 3 times. It's my 1st cruiser and I wanted something a little different with a solo seat (my wife has a 650 Yamaha Dragster). Every time that I've traveled a great distance I've got off of the bike as fresh as when I got on. As far as I'm concerned it's a great ride and I would give it top marks in all catergories. It's comfortable, reliable, has a decent tank range between fills, excellent performance for a cruiser and the build quality is second to none. If I knew you and you were considering buying a crusier then I would always recommend the Victory range and especially the 8 Ball. Show less

I just purchased my new 8-Ball and it is one of the best decisions i have ever made. It is fast, comforable and turns heads. Will always buy Victory from now on. Show less

I bought my 2006 Vegas a week and a half ago. Prior to that I rode my bf's 2002 Deluxe and I have to say the Vegas is one bad-a** bike. Picture to follow-It's Nuclear Sunset with black to silver fade tribal flames. It stops people in their tracks and compliments are abound. It's so comfortable and smooth. As long as you don't wear a coat, 70-80 on the freeway in 6th gear is like flying!! Show less

BEST THING I EVER DID, won't BUY ANOTHER BIKE! THE RIDE IS SMOOTH, SIXTH GEAR AT 80 MPH, HOLD ON!!! MY FRIEND OWNS A NIGHT TRAIN BEEFED TO 96 CI, HE SHOOK FOR AN HOUR AFTER RIDING MY HAMMER, AWESOME A+!! Show less

Have had my 06' Vegas for a month now and have just put her first 500 miles on her. I absolutely love this bike and am more than happy that I chose her over the HD Dyna Low. It had been about 15 years since I last rode and getting on the Vegas felt like I had never quit. The ride is great! Smooth and pretty balanced. Hard to keep around 70 on the interstate. She loves to move. EVERYTHING from my buying experience to owning this bike has been excellent. I would recommend Victory to anybody looking for a great bike and will upgrade to a Jackpot sometime in the near future. Show less

First bike I have been on in over 20 years. WOW, what a way to come back to riding. Nothing but a pure pleasurable experience from the purchase, buying and servicing process. This thing rides just as smooth on the highway as it does through the neighborhood. The only problem I have is everybody thinks it's a Harley. NOT!!! Show less
