2008 Victory reviews

Love the bike... wish the crossroads would of been out when I bought mine but, I sold my Harley to buy it! Best purchase ever! Show less

I've had this bike for a couple years now - ordered it while I was in Iraq and took delivery the month I got back. The chrome highlights I added really make it stand out - just enough not to be gaudy. This bike turns so many heads it's unbelievable. Every bike night, rally, or whatever the HOG folks always stand around and ask questions. don't get suckered to buy a less performing dime a dozen machine for more money. The bike handles great - I've scraped pegs many times rolling thrugh twisties - very agile for a beefy bike. The only knock is long distance riding. Anything over 3 hours and your legs get a little restless. Add some highway bars and you can roll forever! I love this bike, but I may have to trade her in on the new Vic Cross Country! Show less

This morning I rode my Victory Vision for a small 15 mile ride, came home and took the Roadking for the same ride. The Vision was by far the better ride. This bike fits the rider as well as any bike I've tried and I've owned 7 different brands! Show less

This is a fantastic bike! Every where I go, someone asks a question. It really is a great ride and would highly recommend it if you want a reliable, smooth-riding, powerful machine. If you're shy, don't buy it because you will be meeting lots of new folks that also think they look, sound, and ride great. Simply amazing motorcycle and I'd definitely buy it again! Show less

This bike is incredible. It's like driving a Cadilac on two wheels. I love it. Show less

I got just over 500 miles since buying my 08 Kingpin 8 ball. It sure is a powerful bike and a real head turner. A lot of people walk up to it and check it out when it is parked. Have gotten a lot of compliments. This is actually my first bike and I am glad I went with Victory. It still is somewhat rare to see a lot of Victory's around here in southwestern Ohio, so everybody wants to see about the bike. It gets a bit tiresome to sit on for a long ride, but other than that I wouldn't change a thing. Love this bike and I am doing what I can to spread the love to other people who might be thinking of buying a motorcycle. Just wish the weather would allow for more riding! Show less

Well I just got back from a 800 Mile Ride Up to Laconia NH for bike week and she handled like a charm. She corners well and has the get up and got to take on anything. I could not begin to tell you how many looks I got and how many people walked up to tell me how nice the bike is. The bike is a beast and I love it. Only complaint I have is perhaps a more comfortable seat for the long haul. Otherwise an awesome motorcycle. Show less

I bought my 2008 8-Ball in March 2008. Being my first bike I was quite intimidated by the size and power of it, but after a few months of riding I finally loosened up and started to enjoy the power and comfort of the bike. Before I bought I researched a lot of bikes, from imports to Harley's. I finally decided on 2 bikes the 8-Ball and the Harley Night Train. After more research and reading reviews from former Harley owners turned Victory owners I decided to make the right choice and buy the Victory. Now a year later and 7500 kms on my bike I know I made the right choice. I have found nothing to complain about and have had nothing go wrong with my bike and hope to put many more thousand km's on it. Show less

I have had my '08 Vegas Low for 1 year this June. It is the newest of several bikes that I own and is by far the the best handling and most fun to ride. Everywhere I go, the bike attracts a crowd. I am 62 years old and this bike will keep me riding for years to come. Keep up the great work, Victory. Show less

I bought my 8 ball new in July 2008. I have about 4500 miles on it in just under a year. I have had no problems at all out of it. I ride almost always on state roads. If you plan on interstate riding go for something with overdrive. At 70 mph it is turning about 2850 rpm. If you love to ride the back roads and burn down Harley Davidson's, this is the bike for you.
