Victory

[z06boy]

The wife and I would love to add two "cruisers" to our stable and may in time.

We participated in a Victory Demo ride as well. I rode the Victory Vegas Jackpost and liked it alot.

My wife flat out fell in love with the Victory Kingpin 8-Ball and I'm pretty sure if she gets a cruiser that this will be the one.




I also rode and liked the Star Raider...which they also had demo rides for.



I haven't ruled out a V-Rod either.

The kingpin 8-ball is what my friend rode second. Same thing, loved it. This guy also has a mid 70s Honda 350, 250cc 2 stroke, late 80s bandit, and generally bikes other people don't own.

The Star Raider looks cool. That Kingpin 8-Ball would be much cooler it the fenders were half that size.

Yeah I liked the Raider pretty much and was surprised it was a Yamaha....well I mean the bike itself. I knew Yamaha made Star.

On the 8-ball I agree with you too. They have a Jackpot 8-ball too and I like it better.

This bike here but with the black pipes instead of the chrome...




The wife could probably picture herself doing this very same thing if she had the Kingpin 8-ball.

Victory makes a real nice bike. Plus they are american made!!! You should take one of those over the Yam everyday of the week. I have rode a Vegas and another one... they were good.

Here are a few pictures of the bikes there. Taken by a local board member, and now our newest member, Berserker.

Buddy of mine bought a Victory Vegas Low last summer. Nice bike and really supprised me with the get up it had.
Would definatly be on the top of the list of cruisers...

I liked the vegas apart from not having a tach and quiet exhaust. 1st gear tops out at 41-43 though, figured that much out. If I were more used to the v-twin and having to shift that often, it wouldn't be as big of a deal though.

The Victory engines are a beast. They put down nice numbers.

He had already put on an aftermarket exhaust when I rode it. As for the tach, nice to have, but I just listened to the engine for shift points. Never did hit the limiter, but I surely did exceed the speed limit!
