Victory Ness Signature Vegas reviews

Bought the bike used and took all of 5 minutes to decide if it was to be mine. My buddy calls it sex on two wheels. A day doesn't go by, without bystanders making positive comments or thumbs up as they pass. don't mean to slam HD riders, but I don't see stock HD that comes close in looks price, or ride. I'm too tall for shorty windshield at speeds over 70, but looking at bug strikes I can live with it. I don't want taller shield as I don't like the look. Show less

This is my third Victory, with over 50,000 miles experience on Victory's combined. Had a '05 8 Ball, '07 Jackpot, and now the '09 Cory Ness Jackpot, and I can say these bikes are engineered extremely well. Top quality components, and very durable. I have seen why JD Power and Associates has ranked them as one of the highest quality bikes on the market. Great neutral handling with tons of power. Yes the wide back tire can take a bit more effort to steer, but after a couple minutes, a non issue. My wife and I tour two up on our Victory all the time and we love it. A great custom cruiser around town, then simply add a windshield, a comfy back seat, saddle bags and a trunk rack, and you have a great touring bike with looks to match. One warning to prospective owner's, if you want to ride and not be noticed, don't get this bike, be prepared to talk to tons of people taking notice and asking tons of questions about the bike. Great looking, very unique, and real head turner. Maintenace real cheap and easy. Oil change kit about $60 Cdn, and about 10 minutes while on the side stand. Filter, oil drain plug, and refill spout all within easy reach. No valve adjustments needed (hydraulic lifters and cam chain adjusters). Brake pads can be changed without removing calipers, just remove retention pins, remove old pads, insert new pads, reinstall pins, done. By the most part ride tons of miles, just add gas, change oil, tires, and brake pads periodically. I highly recommend Victory Motorcycles! Show less

I only have about 700 miles so far but WOW! It has been great. I have friends with various brands of bikes. I should get a commission because several of them now have their bikes up for sale... going to VICTORY. The bike has GREAT power and a comfortable riding position. It looks awesome with the 250 rear tire. My daughter thinks it's the coolest bike in town! She should know, she's 12 years old, ha ha. I can't wait until the next ride! AMERICAN MADE! Show less

I purchased my 8-Ball in July 08. One week later I took it on a 9000 km trip from Edmonton, AB to northern Quebec. I then travelled to South Dakota, and back up through Saskatchewan. We road 8 to 10 hours a day, stopping only for gas and coffee. Come the end of each day the only complaints would be: I found myself reaching for the handlebars, the seat has no lumbar support and your legs get restless. A few simple add-ons would solve these issues. It has the power and performance to outride any cruiser out there. I drag me knee doing 150 km/hr on a 90 km/hr curve in the Great Lakes and the bike laughs at it. The only other thing is the bike feels revved out when travelling 140 km/hr plus, which is not a problem. People always compliment the bike even if customized cruisers are right along side you.

I have had several other brands of bikes, and the performance of the Victory Jackpot is unbeatable. This is the best bike my hard earned money could have ever bought. Others are not even in the same class in any form or fashion. I am lovin' it! Show less

I have driven various bikes in my time, from race to sport touring to cruisers from all the major brand names. I went to the bike show and was pleasantly surprised by the Victory. I went to the showroom two weeks later and purchased it. I have put over 6000 km on this beauty this year in the city and on the highway. I loved every minute of it. All of my friends had other brands not anymore! Two of them traded in their bikes for Vics; they are very happy with them. Would I buy another? Heck, I'd get another one in a heartbeat. Show less

I have had my Vegas Low since April 2008. I had a different bike as my first bike and it was time to upgrade. Both were good bikes and worked well for my smaller female frame. But the Vegas is much more comfortable, more powerful and definitely a better looking bike. I get lots of compliments on my bike. Of course most guys kind of dismiss it and give it a never-mind attitude when they find out it's not a certain brand. But that's just dumb guys and their egos. The Victory is so much smoother and comfortable than any other bike I've seen. Not to mention that it has more power than most. Plus, it doesn't break down like some, and it is cheaper to maintain. I agree that there are a few good looking bikes out there, but they are hard to come by, and for the money, the Victory is a better deal. 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

I bought my Victory Vegas 8-Ball in Jan. 08. I used to ride a 2005 650 as my first bike. I wanted to trade it in and get a real bike. I wanted something American made. I wouldn't settle for something overpriced that breaks down a lot. So I was introduced to Victory motorcycles. I saw the Vegas 8-Ball and was in love on the spot. I don't really like chrome and love the color black so the 8-Ball was perfect for me. I had a passenger seat with backrest installed along with swept black pipes, black headlight and the black Ness mirrors. I ride as much as I can; mostly on the weekends with friends or just cruising around. One day my buddy, who has a different brand of 1200 w/drag pipes, and I were cruising and came across a guy on yet another cruiser bike. He started revving his motor. When the light turned green we all hit the throttle. All I know was when I hit 5th gear and looked at the speedometer it said 105ish. I looked back and there was no one in sight. So I just let off the throttle and waited. I love the bike and never want to get rid of it. A lot of people I know like their brand of bikes but have nothing bad to say about my bike. My recommendation is to sell whatever brand of motorcycle you might have and get a Victory motorcycle, because one day Victory motorcycles will outsell them all! Show less

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.
