2006 Victory reviews

Well this is my first cruiser bike and let me tell you, I am impressed. Since I had purchased the bike I have had alot of compliments in regards to the overall design and quality, especially the fat 250 tire. Since the purchase I have exchanged bikes with frinds for a test run for a couple of miles and nothing beats the ride of the jackpot. The power is smooth and the vibration is minimal or non existant compared to the HD's I have driven. Some people have asked me why I didn't go the HD route since I had paid that amount of money for it. Well, it's not about being a member of a well known bike manufacturer group, it's about preference and being satisified with what you have purchased. In the end, it's going to be you who is riding the bike and the money is going to be coming out of your personal funds. Show less

Victory puts out some of the best looking factory cruisers in production, and the Kingpin drives almost as good as it looks. The 100ci motor pulls strong throughout the entire rpm range, and the 6-speed transmission is a dream on the freeway. As far as handling goes, this is one of the best handling cruisers I've ridden. However, the stock Dunlops limit what could be THE best handling cruiser on the road. These tires follow every little groove and imperfection on the road (once they wear out, it's time for Avons). Rider comfort is very good. While, the stock seat is tolerable, my wife finds the passenger seat intolerable. No big deal though, as I've replaced the stock seat with a Mustang on every motorcycle I've ever owned, so the KP is no different. Great buy! Show less

Now, having ridden it over 2,100 miles in the last two months, as well as spent lots of time installing add-ons nd upgrades personally, the quality and workmanship astounds me even more today than when I posted my original review almost two months ago. Now being totally familiar with it, especially the odd wheel/tire combination, it handles as good, if not better, than all other cruisers I've ridden. Stop by a dealer and test ride one before you make a mistake and buy that Harley you've been dreaming of! You'll be very glad you did! Show less

I couldn't have said it any better WOW!! I see lots of custom bikes on the street but you won't find a factory built bike like this any where. I had mine dyno'd at the OCC show in Tempe. 100.5 HP /105.0 ft lbs torque.. Show me a Harley even one with motor work..This is out of the box with only Slash Ness Pipes... Here's what your bike will look like!! Show less

A wonderful bike! I'm glad I didn't buy another Fatboy. Took delivery and rode to Myrtle Beach and stayed 12 days, rode to Atlanta, rode 3 days all after Thunder beach week at home. have well over 5000 miles now. (dyno 82hp 109fpt)average 48.7mpg. the eagles are screaming now, I hit the Jackpot Show less

The 8-ball is my first bike and it handles like a dream! I never road a motorcycle before, so I took the MSF course and then bought the 8-ball. It was intimidating at first but I got used to it within 2 weeks. I have the stage one kit (which is essential!). My fork seals were leaking, but the dealer fixed those. I average about 44 mpg.

I have put about 2300 miles on my 2005 Victory Vegas and it's awesome, plenty of power through out every gear, great handling, awesome braking, and great looks I get at least one compliment a day. Show less

I cant get enough of riding this bike. It is comfortable, has power to spare, and makes everyone look to see what it is. I have nothing but good things to say about the Vicory Hammer. Show less

Just picked it up and I so happy I did not buy the Suzuki M109.... this bike is so beautiful. It's all I ever wanted in a cruiser and I can't wait to put some real miles on her and show her off. Im 6'7 and it's a little tight but everything I ride is. All of the reviews that I have read say it's a hard bike to turn, but I had no problems with it. I only had this bike for one day and I have had nothing but complements about it. I traded in my vtx1800 for her and I didn't think twice about it. Show less

Purchased a Jackpot and I am impressed. Hey girls you can really keep up with the boys. This bike will rock your world! This bike gets all the looks. Hope to see lots more in the near future! Show less
