2008 Victory reviews

I have owned 2 Goldwings and a Decker prior to the Victory, and have ridden just about every other touring bike out there. In my opinion, this is the very best touring bike ever made for a man of my size. I have been through the mountain roads of Vermont, blasted up and down the Interstates, and cruised double up through the countryside. There is no downside to this bike. It handles like it is on rails, excellent braking, great weather protection, and huge power. My passengers tell me it's like an easy chair back there and the visability is excellent. I can stretch out my legs straight out during a long day's ride and never feel cramped. Thanks Victory, for creating a fantastic ride! Show less

Great bike. I have researched Victory motorcycles for a couple of years before choosing the T. C. and loved it. Took the bike down to the dealer for service in Feb. this year. That was my mistake. Took the Vision for a test ride and couldn't believe the ride. Made a deal and came back the following week and picked up my new Vision. Racked up 6000 miles in six months. My T. C. is getting lonely in the garage. Only upgrade was new exhaust. That was because I again was at the dealer and rode another Vision and liked the sound of it. Show less

I can't say enough about my Street Vision other than I am very content with it and its performance. The quality, ergonomics, handling and everything else is top notch. I test rode all other touring bikes out there and did not take long to realize that the Vision was built especially for me and my stature. Will keep this one for a long time unless I decide to trade up on a newer Vision. Victory Corp.....keep up the great work. Show less

This is my second Victory, (01 V-92C) sold the first one after buying an 04 HD Road King. wasn't aware how much I missed Victory till I test rode the Vision. So smooth and so much room for this big guy and handles like a bike half its size!! Very impressive!! I'm hooked on this bike and have had great feedback from everyone we run across. Show less

I've been riding for 40 years and this is the best motorcycle I've owned. It's powerful, comfortable and great looking! I love the six speed transmission, which takes full advantage of massive amount of torque. This model came with the factory chrome package, but I've done quite a bit to personalize it to my taste. There are lots of manufacturer acessories to customize with, so have fun. Show less

This bike actually made me change careers and go back to turning wrenches professionally instead of as a hobby. I can not imagine having any other luxury touring bike than the Vision. I had been looking hard for two years and was about to make the plunge until the Vision came along. Love at first site and sealed forever once I rode it. Never looked at another bike again. Great job Victory, thank you again. Show less

I just recently purchased, in June of 2009, a new 2008 Vegas Jackpot from a dealer. I have not had too much time to ride but do ride every chance I get. I find this bike handles so smooth that you think you are actually in an automobile. Its dependability to hold the road, especially in the curves, is unbeliveable. The comfort of the ride is like none other I have ever encountered. My son introduced me to the line of Victory motorcycles about a year ago. He owns a 2007 Hammer Premium Edition. After riding his I decided that Victory was for me. I contacted the dealer where he purchased his, and was given such a good deal I drove to Maine and picked up my bike in person. I have no regrets and will be a Victory rider for years to come. Show less

Took my first trip in Aug. rode over 4000 miles. Bike was perfect. I came home, 714 miles first day. Next day 752 miles, I was home. I couldn't do that on another Bike. I will never change from Victory. Show less

I am about 55 miles from turning 7K since purchasing this bike in August 08. I have been on long rides up the coast, and all around northern CA, Oregon and Washington. It is very comfortable and has a lot of power. I previously owned a 01 Sportster and an 06 Street Glide. I was amazed at how often people ask me about the Victory's. It is one thing to own a HD but even better to own something that turns heads. It also a lot of fun to go flying by the HD's. I would recommend this to anyone that likes riding and doesn't want to turn wrenches. Just turn key and ride!! Show less

I fell in love with this bike the first time I saw it. In fact I bought it and could not even ride. I just looked at in the garage for relaxation. I find it to be an excellent riding bike although I am a first time rider. It was comfortable to me and since I have rode it a lot it has become my main go to the store bike. I know it look good but I don't get many Harley admirers or acknowledgments for that matter and frankly I dont give a hoot. I pull up to Harley events just to taunt them and dismount w/all that black as if I own the place. All that Black among all that Chrome is my forte. I beat my own drum and don't ride with the pack. Have to be different and this bike is definitely different. Will have class for a long time. Show less
