2010 Victory reviews

I purchased a 2011 CC in February and have been giving it a workout since April. I love every minute of riding time! It's comfortable, has plenty of power and I love the storage space. The Ipod cord can be a little touchy, but am able to work around that. It's gets 50 mpg. even when cruising at 75 on the interstate! It leaves my friends on other brands in the dust! While deployed to Iraq in 09/10, my wife said I could get a bike when I returned. I spent my free time researching touring style bikes and the Victory CC kept on rising to the top! This bike gets the looks when you stop and people always have questions about it. I took it out to Sturgis with three friends this year and never felt tired after riding. It's my best purchase ever!

Wow, after 20 years I've returned to riding motorcycles. I discovered Vics from a co-worker who showed up with one in 2006 from Maryland. I knew the name and that was all. I loved the Hammer right away, and it sounded great. The more I checked it out, the more I liked the bike. It was a wrap after I went to a dealership and checked out the King Pin, It was a done deal when I saw the King Pin 8-Ball. I love the bike and it's American to boot. Harley can't touch these bikes. Great bikes and a USA price - "the begining of a long love affair." Show less

This bike is really great. I had a Arlen Ness Kingpin and a BMW K1200LT. I loved both bikes. But the wife's back could not handle the Kingpin anymore (C5 to C7 slip disk) and the Beemer was nice but the maintenance was a killer for the wallet. So I traded both for the Cross Country. The bike has the handling qualities of the Beemer and the good looks and styling of the Victory models without the costs. I love this bike and my wife thinks the ride is even better than the Beemer. Thanks Victory for this incredible ride. Show less

I have 7,200 miles on this bike and it is by far the best bike I have ever owned. I have owned a 1999 Road King, 2003 Sportster (wife's), 2007 Heritage Springer and 2002 BMC Notorious 918. I have ridden 1,200 miles in two days twice this year and was not beat up at all. I rode the "tail of the dragon" last year and the handling was fantastic. The bike has great power and will out run a 2009 Screaming Eagle Harley dresser on top end. The bags are great for trips. Negative - The windshield gives you a lot of wind at higher speeds. It should come standard with the Tach kit. Show less

I picked it up in December, 2009 in Reno, NV. It started snowing on the way home to California. I gave up a Victory King Pin for this bike and it was a great trade. I really am happy with the CC. I rode it to Sturgis last year for the 2010 Rally. It had 1,000 miles on it when I left home. The bike ran awesome with lots of power. No problems on a 4,400 mile ride. I have stock exhaust which I do not like because there's a lot of noise. Mileage is fantastic, 50 mpg. running on the highway and many times I was running at 75 miles per hour. I had this bike up to 120 mph. and it still handles well. Stereo and I-Pod controller work great. I did 300 miles in the rain with no issues. I am very happy with the bike, I commute 25 miles a day to work and really enjoy it. You can take your hands off the handle bars and it runs straight down the road. It now has 8,500 miles on it. I recommend it to everyone. I would not compare it to a Harley because this is a cutting edge motorcycle. Old designs are neat if you are into retro dinosaurs. I bought this because new technology is the future and it is AMERICAN MADE. Show less

This is truly a dream bike. I bought my Vision Touring one week ago and took it and my daughter to Key West, Florida for the weekend to break it in. What an AWESOME road trip. This machine is amazing and even my daughter said, "Dad this was exhilerating!"...she's 12. We cruised the famous Duval St. on Saturday night and this thing is a head turner for sure. Even the other bikers were drooling over my new Crimson and Black Vision. One guy with a beautiful huge Harley kept slapping his buddies and saying, "Man, look at that gorgeous Victory!" My daughter told me he said it three times. From the cruise control to the iPod hook up for the awesome sound system along with the tremendous power, this machine ROCKS!! I was comparing it to Harley, Honda and BMW before purchasing and I'm "sooooo" glad I went with the Victory. I'm a die hard Victory customer for life!! There is nothing left to desire with this ride. Great job Victory team!! Show less

I recently purchased the 2011 Vision 8-Ball this summer. I love it, it's very comfortable and has plenty of power. It's a nice looking bike and get lots of positive comments on it. The only negative I have heard is from folks that ride that other American-made bike. This is my fourth bike, and by far the best bike I have owned. I went to a demo days here in Minnesota, and I couldn't wait to get rid of my Road Star for this bike. I recommend that you take a Victory for a spin. I will never go back to metric. Show less

I was forced to lay my 2008 Vision down at 75 mph. when large wildlife crossed the road in my path. The tipover protection kept the bike off my legs until I could get clear (great feature). Unfortunatly the bike was totaled off. I immediatly began looking for another to replace it. I ended up spending a bit more money and buying a 2010 Pearl White Vision. I love this bike too, no problems in the first 5,000 miles this summer. This bike is very comfortable to ride for any distances. In the crosswinds and passing large vehicles, it is the most stable bike I have ever ridden. Show less

I've owned several bikes, the latest before this one being an extremely top heavy Kawasaki Concours 1000. The Connie was a great bike, too, but within three minutes of my test ride on my XC, I was easily persuaded to get rid of my four-year relationship with Connie. On the test ride, it immediately felt like it was MY BIKE. I have never instantly felt both comfortable and confident on any bike the first time riding it. The handling is so light, it can almost give a false sense of security in a sense of feeling like the bike weighs 400-450 lbs. as opposed to it's very real weight of 800 lbs. (Try pushing it around the garage a bit!) Long range comfort is the greatest I've ever experienced on any bike. Fuel economy is outstanding at 47-54 mpg. I did have to by a taller windshield and lowers to eliminate the buffeting. My opinion of this bike is matched and exceeded by the many Police Departments throughout this country and other nations that are turning in their HDs, BMWs and Gold Wings to buy the XC and CrossRoads. I love this bike so much, I invested in the company. What other proof is needed that this is a great product? Ride hard, ride long, ride safe! Show less

I purchase my Vision Tour in 2009, brand new. I have no regrets, it has everything I was looking for in a touring bike. It has heated grips and seats, electric adjustable windshield, stereo and cruise control. I test rode the Kawasaki Voyageur, Honda Gold Wing and HD Ultra Classic, before I made my choice. The bike was a perfect fit for my frame. Having short legs made it comfortable and stable for me to ride single or two up, without the worries of not being able to feel secure when at a stop light. My next add on is the electric reverse kit to allow me to maneuver the bike on a gentle incline. The dealership I go to in Kelowna, BC is amazing for customer service. They even allow me to ride another Victory while my Vision is being serviced! Now that's unheard of anywhere else. Show less
