Victory Vegas Low reviews

The 2009 Vegas Low is amazing, this is best bike I have ever ridden. The low center of gravity allows the bike to maneuver as if you were straddling a much smaller bike. The look and style is eye catching with lots of double takes as you pass the rest of the pack and bystanders. The 6th gear allows for a comfortable highway ride. I cannot say enough about this bike, except go buy one and leave the HDs where they belong, on the side of the road. Show less

I rode the 2012 Vegas Jackpot off the factory demo truck in Springfield, OR in September, not the Zach Ness model but will offer my personal opinions. The Jackpot had considerable understeer with the fat rear tire and skinny front tire -- the Zach Ness appears to have the right combination that I would want for curvy roads. Get rid of the huge "Kirby vacuum cleaner" mufflers -- too Japanese and especially ugly when stacked like this. Stagger them, put them on either side like a touring model, or replace with a 2-into-1 or Stage 1 version. Additionally, the sound was not there--too quiet. They need to be changed immediately.

It has a near flawless performance! I went on a two up for a short ride that included some freeway, twisty and in town. I can happily say the power and handling were superb in every situation. Solo rides even with five herniated discs are enjoyable. This motorcycle seems to float over the bumps with very smooth yet unreal power. Show less

I have never regretted buying my beautiful 2006 Victory Vegas 8-Ball. I am most impressed with the value for the money. I am also impressed with the amount of torque no matter which of the gears you are shifting into. I have had to do little or no repairs to her (yes, she is a she and I have named her!) I do my own maintenance on her. I use synthetic oil and my dad makes me change it every year no matter how many miles I am able to put on her. She always gets the looks and I am always talking about her no matter where I am riding. It's a good thing I know so many of the specs about her. I would be comfortable selling these for a living I believe in them so much! I love bragging about it to my Harley owning friends. I can't help but tell them mine is faster, bigger, more reliable, more American made and I got WAY more bang for my buck! When my Harley friends take my bike for a ride, they can't help but say how awesome it rides and how smooth and comfortable it feels. My only complaint is the gas cap. But, only since I moved into California. California has those stupid, over-sized gas nozzles that the hinged cap interferes with. I have broke the gas cap off once (my only repair). Show less

To the individual who wrote on a Vision review who stated he turned in his Vision because of no dealer support, I have to say that is totally false!! I rode from Chicago to California, up the coast and back and had to get some work done on my 2003 Vegas along the way. I got great help in Oklahoma to repair my MBW turn signals. It was awesome help by the man himself, Arlen Ness, and his crew to change oil and re-adjust the bike height, and excellent service in Denver to replace my front tire. Overall, it's a great dealer network and support even though there aren't as many around as the competition but with a solidly reliable product, you're not going to need as much help along your trips as the other company's products. By the way, some of the repairs that were done were to correct some of my own mistakes in modifications. Thank you Victory of a most excellent product. I know I have my second one: a 2010 Jackpot.

If you are lucky enough to own this bike, you have indeed hit the Jackpot. I test rode this bike and you cannot help but to fall in love with this motorcyle the moment you straddle the 106cc engine. The bike is low and the rake is just right for perfect handling. The rear tire is fat and throwing this machine into a turn is a slice of heaven. It does have a tendency to want to stand tall in turns due to the wide rear tire, but that will take all of two blocks to get used to. You will enjoy the power as it has plenty to get you to highway speed in a hurry. If you want to pass on the freeway, it is as easy as a twist of the throttle. Do yourself a huge favor and test ride this bike, but make it the last bike you test ride because after you have ridden this motorcycle, you will want no other. Show less

I bought a Kawasaki Versys back in 2008 but my eye was really on the Vegas they had nearby. I decided to get my experience with the Versys and to one day return for the Vegas. Now, 2011, I returned and got my Vegas! The bike is a beast. I love the way it is balanced, low center of gravity, handles like a dream and tons of torgue. I haven't open her up yet, trying to adhere to the break-in proceedures but man it is tough! I extended the controls two inches for my height. I would have given it all 5's but my tailight didn't work and had to return it a week later. I know I love this bike because the two days it was in the shop, it was all I could think about.

I have had a lot of bikes and this 8-Ball is without a doubt the best of the best. I also think the people at the dealership in Burlington, Ontario are among the greatest I have ever dealt with. Show less

From seating position, comfort, reliability, quality, performance and styling....my Harley buddies begrudgingly admit what I have known all along.... I HAVE A GREAT MOTORCYCLE. Show less

I got my blue Vegas a couple weeks ago. I added the Victory leather-covered bags, "short" windshield and seat with driver's backrest. I went on a 150-mile group ride the next day and was pleased to be very comfortable all day! It is so easy to handle, and leans into curves very confidently. No vibration in the hand grips. I traded in a 900 Kaw and was a little hesitant to move up to something this big, but I immediately settled in and love cruising this bike! I get lots of compliments. My Harley pals like her because she's American-made, and my "metric" pals like her because she's not a Harley. Show less
