Victory Arlen Ness reviews

I purchased a 2007 Victory Hammer at the end of 2007 and have never been more pleased with the performance of anything that I have purchased before. Like most people, I was checking out Harley's and stumbled over a Victory dealer and went in for a browse. I saw the Hammer and the beautiful sleek look with the huge rear tire and wham..bam.. I bought it that day. I have been adding accessories ever since to personalize it as mine. Other than the regular maintenance the bike has performed flawlessly. I now have two friends who purchased Victory's, one a Hammer S and the other a Vision and to date neither has ever had a problem nor has any one I know who owns a Victory had a service problem. Accessories galore available and the staff in Calgary have always been helpful and professional. If you are looking for a nice ride and the best reliability. I strongly recomend you check out a Victory Dealer... cheers.... Show less

I must say that this is my first Victory although I've been drooling for a couple of years. This is the finest cruising vehicle made. It is a comfortable and powerful machine. Victory made it right... Show less

I purchased my Cory Ness Signature on September 23, 2009. A limited edition bike (only 250 were made), mine is #245. Wonderful acceleration, this bike has plenty of power to spare. A substantial ride, it is solid while still being nimble. Corners well considering the wide back tire. Will get Metzlers when it's time to replace tires. It handles and rides really well, the seat is extremely comfortable and even though I won't add a windshield or saddlebags (that's just sinful on a gorgeous bike like this)I'd have no qualms jumping on it and riding across the country. Extremely reliable, never had a problem with it. Easy to do my own oil changes. If you're shy, don't buy this bike. I've had people scream at me across lanes of traffic and at traffic lights. I've been surrounded by groups of gawking people, and I've even had people step out into traffic to get a better view. My favorite was getting a nod and a thumbs up from a 80+ year old pedestrian as he walked past. I guess bikers don't grow old, we just add training wheels or a sidecar. Show less

In 2006,I bought a new Victory. I have nothing but GOOD things to say. I can't believe that other guy, who said he had his bike in the shop for a year. If that story is true, there is something wrong with him. Knowbody waits that long. I have had my Kingpin Deluxe serviced every 5,000 miles, without fail. Typically, I get my ride back the SAME DAY. The longest I've waited is 2 days, to have the bike back in my hands. It's a damn near bullet proof ride. I've taken it to top speed of 120 MPH. However, I typically cruise at 90. The bike is very steady, and reliable. I would recommend this company. I am a true biker. I ride approx. 18,000 - 20,000 miles per year, rain or shine, and I ride everyday. Show less

Love the bike, get lots of compliments. Dealer is fantastic! Show less

This is an awesome bike. I bought the Vic and sold my v-star. The mileage is low because I just bought it last fall and it seems like it rains every weekend this year. Handles great and rides great. The pearl blue color just pops in the sun. At every red light, I get told how beautiful my bike is. The bottom line is, what else can I say? Show less

I love my bike. The power is great and the ride is great. I've had no problems, just great comments from other people. Live Free and ride how ever ya want.... Show less

This is my third Victory that I have owned, each has it's own personality and highlights. The Ness Vision is everything: handling, looks, and technology wrapped up into one rolling show stopper. Everywhere I park this bike people have to look and ask questions. Coming from sportbikes in my early riding years I am amazed at how nimble and easy to maneuver this bike is. My wife jokes all the time telling me how Victory should pay me for being a rolling PR person for them, as long as they keep pumping out these performers I will do it for free all day long.

While on vacation my wife and I saw the 2009 Cory Ness Vegas Jackpot. What can I say but WOW!!! Which is one of the most common comments I hear, everywhere I go on this bike. The salesman, was very informative, helpful, pleasant and not pushy, just my type of saleman. We had been looking at 'bare bones' cruisers for a couple of years now, and we already have a hard bagger, so luggage space was not what we wanted. As there are no Victory dealers in our home area, we had been spending a lot of time looking at Victory's online. And getting a great bike with quality construction and engineering are important to me, as I am getting too old to want to spend my evenings tightening nuts and bolts on my ride. Anyway, they made us a great deal and I rode the bike from Lake Havasu City, Arizona to our home in the center of Washington State. 1,300 miles of pure riding pleasure. It has a smooth ride, great acceleration, holds the road like it is glued to it, and is the best balanced bike I have ever ridden. Another plus is; I averaged 55 mpg for the whole trip. A few times getting 56.7 mpg. It is almost embarrasing, the number of compliments I get on the bike, and getting back on the road after a stop is sometimes difficult, because people gather around admiring it and asking questions. Driving down the highway I see everybody from young children to truck drivers giving me a 'thumbs up' and shouting out compliments. A buddy and I took our bikes to a small town that gets a lot of bikers and I noticed about 60 Harley's, a couple of Goldwings and a BMW parked near the local watering hole. When we came back out to our rides, the only group of people checking the rides out, were all clustered around my Victory. So you can spend a lot of time telling people what it is, what size engine, gas mileage et cetera. Love it!! Not much else I can say. Show less

The Victory Vision is at the top of the list of bikes. This is the best bike I have ever ridden. The balance and handling are the greatest. I have always bought a different brand, but now I will never own any other bike again. My wife always wants to go with me when I ride or take a trip. This has made riding so much better. We share all of the experiences together. As every biker knows, it's not much fun riding alone. I never thought I would spend this much money for a bike, but it was well worth it! Show less
