Victory reviews

I bought this bike BRAND NEW, my second new bike, and it was a DREAM! The engine was huge and the sound was delightful... but, the biggest thing for me was the stability. Once you got going she wouldn't go down. Smooth ride, fast acceleration, and stable. I had the red and black with nothing on it. Sleek, streamlined, and SEXY. If you come across one in good shape, it's a must have for experienced riders. It's got some strong pick-me-up and I'm not small guy. 6'4", 250, and I ride it hard. Show less

I love this motorcycle it a 2011 victory Crossroads- has lots of good features like heated seats heated hand grips LED head lamp- fog lights and more- was recently tuned up- I added two new blue tooth speakers- front and rear tires have around 700 miles on them. Show less

Great bike, I have owned many types of cruisers, and this bike has the lowest center, gravity and best turning rate is also cruising down the highway. It cuts right through the wind and is very steady, I have not had any mechanical issues with the bike it looks good it’s reliable and it’s easy to maintain. Show less

My name is Anthony Vegas. I’m a retired Officer. I’ve been retired for a while now and would love to tell you about my bike. It’s a 2016 Victory Cross Country Touring. When I bought the bike it was as actually in an Indian Motorcycle dealership. I’d never really heard much about Victory bikes . I’ve personally owned nearly every brand of bike over the course of the last 50 or so years. My last bike was a Harley Road Glide. Beautiful bike, but the ride was brutally rough, especially if you road any real distance. I purchased my 2016 Victory in 2017. I made a lot of cosmetic changes to my bike, but I can tell you as an experienced rider, it’s amazing. It’s like a combination between a Harley and BMW. Incredible ride. It’s smooth and responsive for such a large bike! I’ve heard people say, who’s going to work on my bike since Victory closed, well I’ve taken my bike to a Polaris dealer and they had no problem. The bike is so easy to dress up and it looks amazing from all angles Show less

For the money it is a great Cruiser that can be used for a Touring bike. My 2010 is actually a Kingpin Touring model so it has the feel, handling, balance and power of a Cruiser but is geared for effortless touring in 6th gear and has a very good suspension. It has so much power you almost don't use the the 5th gear, so the 6th is purely for idling down the interstate and to save some gas money on longer trips. Slightly heavier that my other Victory cruisers but you really don't notice the weight unless you are pushing it out of a slant with your legs. Show less

Love this bike. Fit and finish is excellent. Handling is great at both high speed and low. Add pegs for long distance touring and you have one comfortable ride. Best bike of the five that I have owned. Show less

DO NOT BUY!!! These models will fail and Polaris will not repair under warranty because they do not have any parts for these motorcycles. They will only offer to buy back the motorcycle a devalued price of what you paid or possibly trade for a base model of one of their lower priced gas powered Indian motorcycles. This was an experiment in the REV arena that Polaris failed miserably. Show less

I've been a Harley rider for 45 years and I was skeptical to ride anything else. But I gave this Victory a ride and was amazed at the comfort, performance and horsepower. The ride is much better than most cruisers. The bike is all steel and quality built. I bought this one as an investment and if I could afford to, is keep it! Amazing bike! Show less

It is a beautiful motorcycle, and after some little modifications it looks almost perfect.(shorty exhaust that gives the perfect roar, it feels like flying a Spitfire, new Ness handle bar for the relaxed ride, and deletion/relocation of rear plate and lights . Gorgeous!!! The engine is very nice and put a smile on your face. However do not expect the same strength like a Ducati, Triumph or Japanese bike. The engine likes to rev. ! Enjoy the music (with a third party exhaust only). The center of gravity is very low, and you will scratch your bike if you have an aggressive ride. However it makes its handling very easy which is great in the city. However some big issues with the rear suspension that does not support someone over 200 lbs or an additional passenger. The rear tire would touch the rear bumper and destroy the rear electric harness that is not protected (poor design). The overall electric system is poorly designed and poorly installed. A shame ! Front brake feels like from the 70s, it is very poor. Rear suspension will make your butt in pain, as you will be feeling all the holes on the road. Show less

Owned about 45 different motorcycles in the last 52 years, Concours 10,R100,Gold Wings,Road King,Vstrom 1000, Bonnevilles, Norton's and many others. I was run over by a drunk driver head on and have much steel on my body. I'm getting old and finicky about the bike I ride, it must not be to heavy but heavy to resist cross winds and truck wakes, it must have adequate wind protection with a good windshield and intergrated luggage that doesn't look like an after thought. It needs low end grunt but doesn't have to keep up with a Hayabusa, it looks like a motorcycle not Darth Vader, reliable with shaft drive has to have higher reliability than BMW, no over complex ECM, fuel mapping but carberated simple. Handle good at slow parking lot speed and confidence inspiring in the Twisties, comfortable and light enough for an old man to ride. Cost < 20,000 US dollars right, well I bought one 3 months ago with 8,000 miles on it for 2500, think it's a keeper if do it will last longer than me good night Show less
