Victory Cross Country reviews

I picked up my 2012 Cross Roads from the dealership a couple weeks ago and have nothing but great things to say about the bike and the dealer. Great rebates and incentives got me to cave in. I've had 4-HD's in the past, but this one has such great lines. I get a lot of looks on bike runs and people always are commenting on the size of the jugs. The bike was delivered as promised - very clean, no issues. Show less

I have tried so many bikes, but didn't find myself until I tried Victory. My first was Jackpot, then I found what I really want...the Cross Country. After a year I got my second Cross Country. It's the best and the most comfy. This is how riding should be. It's a powerful bike, easy to ride, control, maintain and has great sound. It's the best best bike to have fun with. Wherever I go, everybody is looking at my 2 tone Cross Country. Amazing dealer with amazing maintenance. Show less

After looking and trying different bikes over the last year, I finally made my choice. The 2012 Victory Cross Country was my choice. I looked very hard between a Kawasaki Vaquero and the Victory Cross Country. There were two things about the Cross Country that stood out above the Vaquero. The weight/center of gravity of the Victory makes the bike feel lighter than it really is. It is very easy to handle. The second thing that stood out is how well the Cross Country 'tracks' around the corners. I am amazed at how easy the bike turns exactly when and where I want it to turn. The power is smooth and strong, especially in the 50-80 mph. range. She can really get up and go! The bike has very sharp lines, with the fit and finish being very good. The instrument panel is set up very well with all the important info easy to read and the lighting very pleasing while riding in the dark. The only negative I have found is the wind buffeting that comes up from under the fairing, but I will be getting the lower deflectors installed when I start my upgrades. I feel I have found the bike I will really enjoy for the next 10 years. Show less

I picked up my 2013 CCT three weeks ago and have racked up 700 miles of smiles. I traded in a 2010 Kawasaki Nomad. I bought the bike at a dealership in Westerville, Ohio. It was the easiest deal I have ever made and between Eric in sales and Dave in the service department, they convinced this lifetime Kawasaki rider to be a Victory fan. It is the best ride I have ever owned and look forward to many years of motorcycle adventures on my Victory! Show less

We get a lot of compliments and questions when we stop. This bike does it all. It had a heavy feel to it when I first got it. Now I am used to it. No issues in the narrow mountain roads or on interstates. Show less

I purchased my 2013 Tour in Bardstown, KY. I picked it up Thursday, August 23rd and traded a 2009 Jackpot in on it. All I can say is outstanding, the best folks (Matt) that you could deal with. I rode it 350 miles in three days, 200 today with the wife on-board and it is the best ride I have even had. Tomorrow we will go at least 200 more. I recommend this bike and the dealership to anyone looking for the best ride possible. Show less

I test drove a Cross Country this year and couldn't believe I was riding a bike from the air-cooled V-Twin genre. Simply put, the bike was awesome. I couldn't wait to get home and find out if there was a dealer that would take my 2009 Road Glide in trade for a Cross Country. Well, I found a dealer with my first e-mail and made the deal over the phone. After four Harley's, I am convinced that Victory cares more about their customer's needs, especially with regards to comfort and ease of maintenance. On the Harley's, the first thing I had to do was start switching parts to make the bike fit me...but not any more! The Cross Country is perfect right out of the box, and better in so many other ways: More horsepower, more torque, lower center of gravity, more suspension travel, better cooling, more room for luggage, larger GVW limits, quieter shifting (no more CLUNK going from neutral to first!), a true overdrive (not just an extra gear) and five quarts of oil lubricating everything...no more filling, checking and changing of three reservoirs! Victory is trying to take on Goliath and it is obvious that they are beating them in many ways. If you have ever been bothered by Harley rolling out little dribs and drabs of 'performance and technology' like I have, I suggest you give Victory a look. I did and couldn't be happier! Show less

I recently bought a 2012 Victory Cross Country after riding Honda's for 30 years. This is the most comfortable and stylish motorcycle I have ever owned. Long rides are a breeze and the comfort of the ride is unmatched. Victory also makes a vast array of accessories to spruce up your ride. This was truly the best purchase decision I have made in motorcycles. Show less

Potential Victory Owners, I bought my Victory in July of 2011. I could not be more happy. My friends and I rode our motorcycles from South Carolina to New Orleans to Texas and back. There was four Harley Riders and one Victory, three Street Glides, one Road King and one Cross Country. My Victory motorcycle lived up to its name. In all fairness, the Harley's looked and sounded real good. But, I got better gas mileage and had more room on my bike for souvenirs in my side bags. The only upgrade on my bike is the Victory passenger backrest and a cupholder accessory. The power is incredible for this size bike. I passed cars and Harleys with ease traveling on I20. Downshifting to pass a vehicle is not necessary. There is plenty of power in six gear. As mentioned in other reviews, there is a sweet spot in 4th gear when cruising around town. You feel like you can do anything in fourth gear. (Buy a Victory you will see). Sitting on my Victory seat for 14 hours minus gas stops, no problem. This is the most comfortable stock seat I've sat on in a motorcycle. The long floor boards made it easy to adjust your legs for even more comfortability. My Street Gliding friends all purchased Highway Pegs or they would likely be cramped. My Victory was vibration free at 85 mph. Yes, the engine purred like a Honda engine at speed. (In my opinion, Honda makes the best engines). The Cross Country was extremely stable at high speeds. Traveling through stretches of rainy highway, the stock tires were satisfactory. On the highway and traveling only a couple of hundred miles between refueling, you will do some hard braking from time to time. No problem on the Cross Country. Every aspect of riding is confidence inspiring. The stereo/radio system sounds very clear at 70+ miles per hour. My black Cross Country stuck out easily amongst my group of grey and orange, and red Harley-Davidson owners. I got equal or more attention on my bike than the Harleys. Until I purchase Satellite radio, it's no fun searching for radio stations from state to state. All the Harley owners, with the exception of the Road Kinger, had a standard CD player on their bike. For $16,400 out the door price for a new bike, I can not complain. Instead, I am insane in love with my Victory. Show less

I went to Auburn, WA (7-21-2012) for the Victory Challenge and rode several bikes. I never had ridden a Victory prior. I found the bike (cross country) very comfortable and while maintaining good manners and handling the bike was a blast. I had intended on looking at the Hammer S....but they had just received the Cross Country in black - 2013 and the new decal - wow. Next step, the wife was very outspoken about not wanting to ride and yet at 10:00 that night she said she had a great time after riding 125 miles with me on the back of my new Cross Country. Now a couple of observations. You will notice how the transmission is definitely "speaking" when going in to gear but the shift is smooth and yes, very powerful. My bike is brand new - two miles at delivery - and so knowing the power yet is a bit unclear but it appears to have more than I want to handle without losing my glasses...wow! In summary, drive one, who knows you might end up wearing a Victory hat and typing a testament on the internet. I am thrilled at the purchase of my new black Cross Country. Thanks guys for building a great bike - wow again!!!!! Show less
