Victory Arlen Ness reviews

This bike is awesome. It is well worth the Ness for all the chrome and paint. Everywhere I go people stop, stare and ask about the bike. All the other guys are jealous and all rave about how Victory is more American made... black is cool but this bike is custom. The ride is great and everyone should have a 250 rear tire t grip and hug the road. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great cruiser. I have had zero problems and the bike is superfast. I would highly recommend the S&S air intake breather. It cleans the bike up and adds even more power, not that you would need it. I thought about a different brand but I am so glad I got a Victory.

You have gotta love it. It gets great performance from the stage 1 upgrade and has solid handling and looks that make the Harley and Metric owners jealous. Show less

This is an outstanding motorcycle. I have received many comments on how sharp the bike looks and sounds. I have the only Victory in my motorcycle club and people can't keep from making comments about how it looks. Out of 36 members and all have Harleys mine stands out from them all. I love this bike.

I got this bike on 07/07/07 - how's that for hitting the Jackpot! This bike flat out rocks! I was originally in the market for a custom chopper but after seeing this bike and all it offered, I just couldn't pass it up. The ride, handling and power are awesome and it never fails to draw a crowd wherever I go. Friends and I rode to the local HD dealer a while back and a couple aiming to buy never even made it into the store after seeing my bike... Thanks Victory! Show less

I bought this bike in June 2006. I've put 10300+ miles on it since then. Everyone compliments me on this bike. I tell 'em it rides just as it looks - AWESOME. The flame job is real nice as is everything else. Riding on the fat rear is really easy to handle and took very little time for me to adjust to its handling. Quiet engine straight off the showroom floor so some changes needed in that area. It has the get up and go and handles even better when I changed the exhaust. Totally different feeling especially when I crack it open - AWESOME! I recommend a Victory over brand X anytime... Show less

I have been riding since 2000, and have owned and/or ridden on Harleys, Suzuki's, Kawasaki's, Yamaha's and Honda's. The Victory is THE BEST, BAR NONE! You absolutely cannot believe how well these bikes ride and handle, and then there is the power! If you are looking for a quality bike, look no farther than Victory. don't take my word for it, I didn't take anyone else's. Take one for a test ride, feel it for yourself. I bought my Ness bike in February, and by June, two of my sons had also purchased their own Victory bikes. One is married and bought a Vegas, the other an 8-Ball. Both absolutely love their bikes. The son with the Vegas is 'vertically challenged' and was worried about the size of the bike. A short ride later he was grinning ear to ear, a believer. I now have a sign in my driveway, Victory Lane. Nothing looks like or rides like a Victory. Finally, an American bike that spends more time on the road than in a shop. Our bikes turn heads and strike up conversations everywhere we go! I have never had/seen reactions like we get now! AWESOME!Thanks Guys! Show less

Just bought my 04 Ness Vegas, man oh man, what an upgrade! Victory is the new standard in American Motorcycles. Great Performance, good value and built American Tough. don't spend all your money on repairs, buy a Victory and experience a durable muscle motorcycle. Looks great too! Show less

I just bought my brother-in-law's 2004 Ness bike. He moved from Ohio to Indiana and needed to sell. Great looking and eye catching. Show less

I am new member to the biking community and before I purchased my Victory, I did some exhaustive research. I had the tremendous advantage of riding the follwing bikes on extended loan: 2004 HD V-rod, 2005 HD FX Dyna Wide Glide, 2006 HD Easy Glide, 2004 Ultra Mac Daddy (awesome) and Groundpounder. Then I went to Biketoberfest in Daytona FL. Until Bikertoberfest I'd never even heard of Victory but when I saw the Cory Ness Vegas on display my search was over. I wanted it right then and there but I didn't have the nerve to shell out $25k on a brand I never heard of so I settled for an '04 Vegas Arlen Ness Signature Series. I love this bike. It's not a typical HD seen-it-done-it ho-hum motorcycle since this bike gets a lot of attention. It's much more practical than the factory cutoms like an Ultra. The factory seat is not very comfortable (see my weight) but it's an oppurtunity to do some customizing. If you're looking...buy it...you won't regret it. Show less

I owned a 2004 Ness Vegas until selling it for almost what I gave for it this fall. I have replaced the bike with an 8 Ball (I like the blackout look). The unit was never in the shop!! The looks were awesome and the ride was so much better than any other bike I've ever ridden. I was going to write about my 8 Ball until I saw a comment about Victory having bad resale value I'm proof that that not true. So don't follow the pack, lead on a Vic. Show less
