2010 Victory reviews

It's the very best, reliable motorbike I have ever ridden. I have 15 years experience, and now 12 months touring on a new Vision. I've been to the USA, Canada, and all 32 countries of Europe, north to south, east to west. I've not had a single problem riding 67,000 km. in 12 months. I've added another 23,000 km. since then over here on our rubbish New Zealand roads, no problems. You cannot beat a Victory Vision. Show less

'It is the most comfortable ride! I could not believe how smooth and how well it handles. You will be surprised on how well balanced this bike is. It's an all-around keeper. Great looks, power, comfort, all in one. I'm very satisfied with this bike. Show less

I traded my BMW K1200 LT for my Vision. No regrets! Nothing wrong with the BMW but it was just to tall for me to be comfortable. I rode this bike for just 20 minutes on a demo ride and couldn't get my check book out quick enough - still having trouble getting the smile off my mug. In town I go at 2,100 rpm. and at 75 mph. at 2,100 rpm. with goosebump pulling power. I haven't had this much fun since I was a kid. Looks and finish are perfect. Mechanical is perfect. Service from dealer was exceptional. Show less

I found my 08 Kingpin Tour at a Wisconsin dealership. I shopped online and saw deals in distant states, but finally landed one close to home. The new bike with warranty is for under 10K!! The bonus was the $1,000 in accessories for having test drove the factory bikes. I love the Kingpin's styling, balance and power. My first test drive, I was moving up the gears, just listening and then I looked at the speedo - 100mph!! - Whoops. I also appreciate employing my neighbors in Osceola, WI with the engine build, folks in Minnesota for the design and in Spirit Lake, Iowa for the final assembly. Take a factory test drive and you'll also know you need one! Show less

For my 50th birthday, I was going to buy the "dream bike". I had a Harley Electraglide picked out and test rode. I saw a Gunny Victory ad and decided to go test one locally. After seeing and riding this bike. I can't imagine buying another Harley, and being a cookie cutter pirate. No comparison. I have rode for over 35 years, Harleys, Hondas, Kaws and Yammers. I never rode a bike as comfortable and loaded as this one. Looks take a little getting used to, but everywhere I go, people stop me and ask questions or take pictures, it's fun. There is nothing about this bike I don't love. It's very cold here right now. With the heated seats and grips, I went on a 100-mile trip yesterday, and a 150-mile trip last weekend, and loved every minute of riding it. This is a pic of my kid and bike taken yesterday. Do yourself a favor, before buying the hog, just ride one. I rode the Cross Country Tour and the Vision and the biggest decision I had was deciding which one as both are amazing bikes. Show less

I went for a test ride at the Victory dealership. The person who went out with me asked me what kind of ride I wanted. I said fast and lots of twists and I got exactly what I asked for. I love the bike, it's very comfortable, light and easy to manuever and is powerful. The Victory Vision 8 Ball is a very nice ride. Overall I give it a 10. Now to sell the Harley. Show less

I can't get enough of this bike. If I had more time I'd have 100,000 km. on it, although 30,000 in two seasons up here in the great white north is a fair bit of riding. The radical looks of the bike are great for meeting people, although some people will dis it just because of that. I feel pity for the Harley dudes who won't even consider test riding one because it doesn't fit their image. Like Gunney says..."ride one and you'll own one". Show less

This it my 4th victory. I've owned a V-92C, Vegas, and Tour Cruiser. The stereo rocks and the bike handles great. It outruns any of my Cruiser buddies' bikes. Show less

I got my Victory Vision new this summer. I cannot go anywhere without my wife. We live north of Kansas City and took a weekend ride down to Hot Springs, Arkansas. We got a lot of interest from people, mostly HD owners, asking a lot of questions. I can't say enough good things about my bike. We did almost 500 miles each way down and back nonstop. What a great ride. We hit rain and cold weather on the way back up and we both stayed dry. The heated seats and grips came in handy. I can't wait until this spring - we are going to Colorado.

Thank The Lord that I deliberated on buying a motorcycle long enough to be directed to Victory by my brother. I tell anyone that asks, if you seek supreme comfort, great handling, powerful throttle response, and the fantastic (but different) styling, it is the only bike to own. I have a 2007 HD Road King Classic in the basement for sale. It is enjoyable to have, but only because of its beautiful sound. 40 degrees and sunny, my Victory still provides me a comfortable ride without plug in apparel! Show less
