Best looking ever? Victory made some nice looking rides but best looking EVER? Here are a few bikes, that in my opinion are right up there with Victory in style. The Vincent Black Shadow. A classic. Looks great from any angle. - The Yamaha YZR500. One of the cleanest race bikes ever. - The Norton Commando. May look even better than the Vincent. Brit bike styling at it's finest. - The Harley Davidson XLCR "Cafe' Racer." May not have been a great bike quality wise, being from the dark ages of AMF, as well as being rejected by the Harley traditionalists but it just looked bad ass! Highly sought after today.

I owned 4 gsxrs and finally decided to get a cruiser, found a 2016 hammer s with a 1000 miles on it, got it home threw freedom pipes , lloydz timing gear, Lloyd's torque tubes and a lloydz fuel tuner on it and all I can say is, its one hell of a bike. I couldn't be happier with it.

Agreed!!! As my very first bike. I can completely agree with you. Out of a hundred different brand bikes in the showroom in which I purchased mine; I can tell you this bike stood out the 06' Vegas. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. For investors and if I had the financial gain, This motorcycle brand has the potential to continue to be competitive in the market. Harley is struggling right now due to their R&D and I feel, since Polaris owns both Victory and Indian, it is constantly competing against itself which is why it led to Polaris's decision to shutdown Victory. It is unbelievable and unfortunate that this brand has come to an end in 2017. Hopefully a good investor can see the potential in this company and reimagine it. I'm telling you, every single one of their bikes still has customers. Who's with me on this thought?

Sorry but I believe my purple thunder 04 Kingpin is the best looking bike Vic made. First model Victory did showing Ness styling...and then there's the rumor they collaborated with British Cosworth on engine design. Not sure about that but she hauls ass! Rolled her off the showroom in 05 as a leftover and I've been riding it ever since. I'm 69 and it's a race to see which one of us will give out first! :)

Solid review. I'm proud to say I've got a Hammer and couldn't be happier. Few minutes down the road and I'm grinning. Riding position so so comfortable and serves to make you feel like you're King of the Road. Hunch over a bit and you can launch it aggressively whilst still being comfortable... oh so much fun. ^5 to anyone who owns a Victory you've proved yourselves very astute.

my brother works at a polaris dealer that sold victorys and now indian, and i did all the test drives when they had them, 20 mile loop, and i have driven them all many times. The vision was a god awful looking bike, but it is a dream to drive. It lives on now as the Indian Challenger...Victory built a great bike, but for some reason failed to grasp the changing market and the possibilities, Polaris were colossal morons for shutting down the branch, obviously they didn't need two cruiser brands, but they had bought brammo, and Polaris makes snowmobiles and ATVs...so simply transitioning the brand into other categories and leaving the cruisers to Indian would have been the correct thing to do. Dirt bikes prob not greatest category but adventure bikes, nakeds, cafes, retro stuff, all of those things were gaining market share before Victory shut down. And now you go into the dealer and they got cruisers...a shrinking market...and the FTR...which indian doesn't seem to know quite how to market anyway...the dealers need some more stuff in there to really get the sales. Victory could have easily been a viable brand.

Reason why I say that is because that person had no vision as to what he had or be able to appreciate what are you at so you let the bike go to me for $2,500 Yes you heard it right the bike only has 5000 miles on it! I didn't even investigate this bike before I bought it I just test drove it love the power loved the look love the feel between my legs. I bought it yesterday I'm checking it out on KZbin today to see you what it stood in the motorcycle world and lo and behold number one!

Reliable, comfortable (with a Mustang seat), powerful, and stylish "custom bike" look. I also agree with your #2 choice, the Octane. Love the looks.

Ah, late to the party as usual! Very nice list, Sir. I'm a Vision Pilot and would not have another before it, but it's pretty hard to argue with the number one pick. The Jackpot specifically. What an epic mistake it was to kill Victory. Instead of maintaining a window to look forward and keep the momentum going, they shorted themselves and got locked into this whole heritage bit. Ironically, if you look at the newer stuff, it's looking less heritage and more Vic every day! They are realizing that you can only take that schtick so far. And now that that POS Scott Wine is gone from the company, who knows what the new leadership will do. I don't know that Victory will ever re-emerge as a brand, but perhaps some of that great Victory DNA will find its way into more of the design philosophy moving forward. But I digress! Since I am biased towards the Vision, I'm gonna list the 5 Victories that I would also have or have as a sister bike if there was room in the garage for another! - Magnum X-1................. Had this bike existed in 2014, I may well be riding that bike instead of the Vision. - Hammer S..................... By far my favorite Vic Steel frame bike. Would make a perfect Sister bike to my Vision. - Cross Country............... Specifically a 2012 Corey Ness Special Edition. Love the forged bars. - Kingpin.......................... Another great looker. Barely finished behind the Hammer in my book. - Gunner.......................... Could be one of the most under rated bikes in the whole lineup. So that is my story and I am sticking to it! If anyone is out there reading this, what would make your list that is not on mine and why? I still have my 2014 Vision and ride it all the time. I will never part with this bike. I'm already making plans to freshen it up while parts are still available. You just can't beat a Vision. Cheers!

The 2014 8-Ball is only my second bike, but I did a lot of research and test riding before I purchased it. I've got it kitted out just how I like it with crossbow exhaust, Power Commander and a set of Torque Tube intakes. For comfort I've added a set of highway bars, removable semi-rigid leather bags and a quick release windshield. I can easily convert it for ripping around town or long distance cruising. I plan to ride it until the wheels fall off. Only then will I consider looking at an Indian to replace it.

I test rode 3 bikes with the Vegas as my intended purchase. I loved the styling of it and when i sat on it, I was 99% sure it was what i wanted. On the test ride day, i was looking at Vegas, Gunner, Octane, and the Highball. That was the order of my choices as well. I hated the ride of the Vegas, the way my back was slouched and the shock absorption of the road into my low back and tail bone. I cut the Vegas. Next was the Highball and was hesitant about the ape hangers in regards to handling. First turn out of the driveway and i was lovin it. The ride was comfy and everything just fit. I took on the Octane next and man was it fun! I can lean it low and it had a decent amount of high end speed with plenty of torque off the line. The comfort was meh, i didn't like the seat and it looked like a mini bike under my 6ft 240lb frame. Unfortunately the demo was done and didn't get to ride the Gunner. I didn't need to ride it because I was set on the Highball. After 5000 miles i was cut off by a driver but got another Highball that was preowned and already set up with arlen ness goodies all over and broken in at 5000 mi so i took it as a sign and im still rollin with it. I will continue to ride Victory as long as i can find them.

I had a custom painted fairing and trunk, and being able to add and remove them both in 5 minutes made the bike feel like 2 different machines. I would have placed the Cross Country above the Magnum.

I totally agree with you , I'm not bummed by your statement . I'm bummed that Polaris is dropping Victory for the Slingshot and Indian was what I meant . I'm a firm believer in ride what you want and like what you ride . I own two cruisers of different brands , love them both . Keep doing what you are doing . Its all good .

Got a 04 Kingpin and just bought a 2011. Just for it's longevity it deserves to be in the top 10. The Boardwalk was basically the same bike, they just changed the name.

My all-time favorite Cruiser is the HD V-ROD MUSCLE (I actually own 2 of them). My 2nd all-time favorite Cruiser is the VICTORY Hammer; superior engineering for an air-cooled machine and absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Naturally I'd put the Hammer at the top of the VICTORY list (not everyone appreciates ape-hangers & funky front wheels).

I mostly agree with the list especially first place. The only one I really didn't care for was the ape hanger but I never did dig that style, even though I kind of get it. Good video!I will definitely miss Victory, iwas hoping to get one soon. I thought they were different, to me like a modern cruiser and Indian more like a classic. I tend to prefer modern.

I've owned a Victory Vision and Kingpin for a few years now, and I just got a 2013 Victory judge a few weeks ago. Out of the three bikes the Judge, is the toughest looking and possibly the fastest motorcycle out of the three. I still love to jump on my Vision or kingpin when I go out of town.

Do your research first and make sure the bike is sound and well looked after. I made this video nearly 6 years ago and at the time Polaris said they'd continue to make parts for 10 years. With only 4 years of that commitment left I am told by many that some parts are already hard to source. That said, you can still get parts for many bikes that are many decades out of production. Specialist sites like VictoryOnly should help and if Victory manages to grow its cult status, its likely that parts will still be able to be sourced.

Although, I have to admit while I was paying for it I kept thinking; "Oh my, do I really want another bike like my Triumph Trident that broke every time I took it out. Never further from the truth. All I can hope is they ressurect the line because I'm loving this bike.

I would like to see it resurrected but I don't think there's much chance of it. We're already seeing bikes from Indian that look like they were originally being designed for Victory. Even the modern Scout was originally developed for Victory (which we saw as the Octane). Still you've got a cracking bike there. Those Vegas 8-Balls are awesome.

As an owner of a 2012 Vegas Jackpot (now my ever evolving Chopper Project Bike) and a 2013 Cross Country Tour, I agree with your placement of the Vegas as number 1, especially, of course, in Jackpot trim. As an A&P Aircraft Mechanic who has moved into aircraft maintenance tech writing with an airline's Engineering Dept, I look at performance, features and solid engineering over fluff, catchy advertising slogans and slick merchandising when deciding where to spend my money. I looked at many bikes before buying these two Victories and determined no-one offered the same value in a big V-twin. I almost even bought a 2013 Hammer-S as my 3rd bike but then decided the Ducati Diavel made more sense to fill the slot of my Muscle Cruiser. This year I added a new Kawasaki Ninja ZX14R as my race-style bike. I thoroughly enjoy each of these bikes for their specific riding purpose. Only a 2017 Big Dog semi-custom (if there were such a thing) with modern engine and fuel system would be more satisfying than my raked out Jackpot chopper, now with 23" front wheel and 300mm rear tire. I used to think it was cool when people showed up to rides with early Indian models or pre-AMF Harleys because they owned some heritage and mojo that was no longer commonly available. I am now beginning to view my Victorys that way and appreciate what they offer in their particular riding experience. Ciao Brothers!

I first rode the Jackpot in 2008 at a test drive and fell in love with it, finally purchasing a new 2011 Lady Luck model. besides being kickass right out of the box. I added some Ness Ram Bars, X Box exhaust, Victory saddle bags and chromed the rims. WOW strangely enough people luv my custom and simply do not know what it is. I am going to get a X-1 someday. So yes I agree with your pick of # 1
