Victory Vegas Motorcycle Riding Review

[@tescherman3048]

I am a recent hire with Victory Motorcycles. It's pretty cool when I walk into the engineering division and see that nearly every engineer has their riding helmets placed on top of their workstations. It's like a forest of helmets. They ride their bikes to work and the company encourages every employee to ride the hell out of their bikes and give feedback. I'm damned impressed with the passion I've seen at the headquarters. Victory is run by riders. That's very cool to me.

T Escherman Now you'll be making Indian bikes.

it's a crime the bean counters ruined a good thing.

[@jonasnorden8916]

Neighbours love it lool

[@340rps]

If it is backfiring you have something wrong, popping is just a lean condition.

[@pbounds]

Great review, I have a 2003 Victory V92SC, now I am riding my 2012 Victory HIghBall, awesome bike, stage 1 kit, xbow pipes, I Love my Victory!

[@68weebee]

Victory has that sweet sound. They sound smooth.

[@blackhawk2475]

Great video and really awesome paint job on the bike. Gives me the desire to try out the 8-ball for sure. Safe riding bro.

[@ratdog472]

That ride is one of my favorite back road rides. Good relaxing ride. Looking to get one of these myself.

[@rayhopkins5246]

This is my 5th time watching this in two weeks. Great video. I have even heard another Victory owner mention the goodness of this video in his video. I knew right off which video he was referring to.

[@bodeine454]

Good video! I've been looking at Victory for quite a few years now but I've seemed to always go back to being interested in Harley. I've had three, '84 Sportster XLH 1000 Iron Head, a '93 Sportster 883 and last but not least an '06 Dyna Wide Glide. I have to say that I loved them all, especially the Dyna, but like another commenter said, "Victory has come a long way!" I really like the Jackpot and the Boardwalk...I've been looking online at used ones and watching a lot of videos. I think I'm sold on Victory this time around!!!

[@mercenarylee3547]

Hey bro, believe it or not. I had the same thinking for many years myself. I owned and rode HD all my life. With that said, I did purchase a Victory high ball a couple years ago, barely used from a seller on ebay. Till today, I'm more then impressed, I still ride it and it hasn't given me not one issue since the day I bought it. Mind you, I do know how to take care and work on bikes through the years. But mine really hasn't given me any problems, I just do it's regular maintenance, I through in some sea foam in the tank every now and then, since gas companies still use that God forsaken ethanol watered down crap we got today they call gasoline etc... So my bike still runs strong, And like the guy here said in the video. At least try one and if finance is an issue. Do what I did, keep shopping you will find really good used ones with low miles like under 9000miles for bargain prices at times... you won't regret owning a Victory, and at least the money staying in the U.S.A as well, instead of some made in China-Taiwan piece of garbage.... Is also why I have both in my garage, my Harley's and my high ball. If I were to get another Victory in the near future, I'm likin the Gunner, big beefy, it's got that mixed fatboy oldskool look with a twist.... Any who, just thought to pass the word from another Victory owner, these are sweet-tough rides! Go for it!

[@KaptainGranite]

Awesome bike I have a 2012 victory Vegas 8-ball myself. Such a great ride.

[@AaronAshmoree]

Kaptain Granite Thats awesome love the 8ball look

[@VicRider106]

Great vid. Always great to see a Vic on KZbin. I ride a model 2011 Hammer

[@AaronAshmoree]

Great bike!

[@KeystoneTexan]

I ride a 2011 Jackpot

[@StormAutoAdventures]

What an incredible video of an amazing machine! I've always liked Victory, but because of my father & the 11 Harley Davidson motorcycles he's owned in his life, Harley is still my favorite. In fact, I'm looking for his favorite Harley that he sold, that I wish I could have bought at the time... It's his 2007 Harley Davidson CVO Screamin' Eagle 110 ci Dyna! His had the factory Blue flames on the gas tank. He also had a custom Vance & Hines Exhaust, upgraded air breather intake filter... I forget which brand? Plus, he had it custom tuned. What an awesome bike that was! Anyway, I own a rare in the US, 2008 Suzuki GSX650F that I'm in the process of modding... I'm going to keep this Suzuki even when I buy that Dyna 110 - If I can find one in my father's year and color, or whatever other bike I buy if I don't find the Dyna. Sorry for the long comment. I gave your video a like, and I'll subscribe after this comment. Safe travels man, -Chris

[@draganm7823]

A nice machine, clean lines. Enjoy and ride safe. Thanks for posting.

[@moneybags8869]

Thumbs up this is the best vid i have seen of you tube of showing opinions on a bike. Dude u made me laugh and i truly enjoy the info and the great ride. U say supercharged i was like 😎🤩

[@AaronAshmoree]

Thanks man means alot!

[@JohnnyRebKy]

enjoyed your video review man! I'm Still riding my ole 2002 Harley Wide Glide with the Carbureted Engine. I love it and its been a great bike. Never left me walking. But in the next few years I'm going to buy a brand new bike ( Keeping the WG too) and i have a new found interest in Victory. I didn't used to like them but they have come a long ways. Im digging the Cross Country Tour. But damn we got so many choices these days for American bikes ( a good thing huh). Be hard to decide between a new harley, indian, or a victory.

[@AaronAshmoree]

+JohnnyRebKy Awesome man if i can help in the future let me know i work at a euro dealer here in OKC so let me know!

[@samueldesalvo1872]

JohnnyRebKy Harleys are not American-made anymore bud

[@williamgriswold2593]

I do have the victory and I'm interested in getting a custom seat. It'd be great if you could put a link to his business.

[@paulostaszewski4969]

LOVE those bars!

[@MiKeDaStONeD]

I have owned mine for over 5 years and don't want any other bike.. these bikes are perfect all around cruiseers

[@carlstawicki1915]

I love the paint job.

[@dck510510]

Damn I want to test ride one of these. If I like it I'm seriously considering selling my Dyna.

[@VikingBagsYT]

Really informational! Great review! and a Happy new year from VikingBags!

[@mickthemerciless9694]

Love the paint and everything else.

[@KeystoneTexan]

I want those bars for my Jackpot

[@breydonkokas6778]

I want one so bad. There's a 2016 for sale 35 minutes from my 0lace for $13000 brand new. last one they have. Very tempting

[@katansmind]

You mentioned at 3:58 that it tells you the MPG. Is that standard? I bought a 2015 Victory Vegas last February and mine doesn't have that option.

[@paulrocco6333]

Nice review, thank you. Looking at a 2016 8 ball.

[@jon5423]

Anyone who needs part # for the clutch service 01-17 it’s on my channel love these bikes

nice review, nice bike, may get one myself in the next year

[@hughriger6177]

I want one!! I am 5/8... I should still be able to reach the forward foot controls, right?? I had a sportster with ape hangers, so I know my arms are long enough... Just concerned about the forward foot controls... Guess I will have to sit on one at a dealer...

[@JSAFIXIT]

These things sound AMAZING at full throttle

[@vancityhighballer4832]

I need to get some of them pipes for my Highball

[@AaronAshmoree]

Thanks man I really appreciate it!

[@Bluecollarrider]

Do you have the information on the seat...i have a 2013 victory hammer and im looking at getting a new seat. Love that paint job btw

[@Robocoppat]

great video("explanation")..that's the kind of roads I imagine myself riding on. too bad it snows there. I haven't been on a bike since I was 17(51now) and in yo opinion would this be an OK bike to get? I like the vrods also .. Jesus Christ I'm so confused.

[@MB-df3tg]

Plz Bring Victory Back. Still got my Vegas and still can get parts but I'm getting scared now. Soon I won't be able to say that. BVB!!!!!!!!!

[@Machias.Woodworking]

found a really good deal on a 2011 Victory Kingpin and looking at purchasing. this will be my first bike so my questions for you are: how do you feel about this being a first bike? I'm 6'4" 280, do you think this would be a good size back for me?

[@naterskater7709]

I'm 5'10" 155lbs and my 04 vegas is amazing! The only issue I have is pushing the hod around or up slopes.

[@kingmaxmoto4680]

that the new generation of pro street exhaust does you scratch the exhaust on right turn? i want those exhaust but dont want to scratch them but peg i dont mind lol

[@mrolsen6987]

This was great! Thanks for the ride👍

[@rickplatinum9896]

AT the beginning of this video you comment on the custom seat - Who do I get in touch with for a custom seat for my 2015 8-Ball?. Thanks.

[@marinom5602]

Very nice review! ARE the bars stock and risers? They look really nice! The 50 degree v twin with the exhaust is definitely a sweet sound!!!! Thank you

[@daveowens]

Nice video man! Who's the guy that makes the custom seats?

[@scotthuhn2828]

Bought a victory can understand why they would want to go out of business but less than s 100 miles on it been in an authorized victory shop twice it now sitting on a trailer in my garage waiting another one costing me thousands in parts and labour each time should have listened to my friends and bought a harley

[@Chris-0113]

Lol because Harleys never break down? I own 2 Harleys. They break down too.

[@ev446]

That bike does sound really nice.

[@silentthriller]

Oh man, that sound!!

[@ericwilliams626]

Never heard of Victory until I spoke to a insurance agent who has one. I did a bit of research and it boils down to the same old story. Beta was better than VHS but the porn industry made the decision for us. These are narratives derived from marketing not a better product. Netware was better than MS Server, but microsoft had better marketing. In this case Victory had no marketing thus no matter how great it was, it would never have the traction as Indian, yet ironically Indian took a huge hit in its history because Harley out marketed them, going globally. It's not about the better product, its always about making people aware the product exists. Today, if someone does their research they can find the better product without the marketing but most people today are still lazy. In order for Victory to have survived or in present day be revived, is a a media push, in a feature film, a celebrity promotion, Victory festivals and affordable first rider models. Victory should have crossed the finish line. Thanks Polaris. But you can still change your mind.

[@KeystoneTexan]

Have you rode the Honda fury or Yamaha Stryker? I'm trying to decide between these three bikes. Is the Vegas fast for a cruiser like I hear?

[@efeoktay244]

Amazing sound

[@SheepDogNumber6]

Looks very nice.

[@arizonadesperado7171]

Very nice bike! Did you have to change any cable lengths to mount the handlebars? What pull back/rise are they?

[@AaronAshmoree]

The stock cables work with these bars

[@AaronAshmoree]

It is Fat Asp seats david

[@i_am_the_void]

what's the lowest cruising speed on 6-th gear? nice bike indeed.

[@melbourne-heat.69-71]

The only thing I know about the Victory bikes that it has a little less problems then a Harley-Davidson... the biggest problem I heard was the transmission has a lot of backlashes and very noisy that's about it...!!

[@Hey_You_Me]

Great looking bike

[@markwinchester3005]

Beautiful American heartland area. Love those dairy cattle and grazing land. Bike ain't bad either.

[@jrtatman7044]

[@brianzaborowski2724]

Good review, you can hear you AND the bike unlike so many of the other useless vids I've watched. Too bad Victory went out of business ...

[@TheLonman7]

This bike is for Sale if anyone is interested. My son did the video a while back but now its time to sell. If interested contact Ya boi Aaron and he will let me know. 8500.00

[@jojojeep1]

great bike , one CON it don't sound like a Harley, when it idle's sounds a little like a a motor boat, other then that great bike all the way around.

[@sanj5026]

I agree that Harley has the bar set, but maybe certain bikes aren't suppose to? for example the Suzuki boulevard m90/m109, those sound nothing like a chopper, but aren't suppose to either. they have a unique sound

[@jojojeep1]

I just sold my warrior, I loved the bike , just couldn't take that sound, it's the crank that's why they sound that way,there crank's are super balanced I think off set crank pin , so they can take the high rpm , that's why they make almost 20 and some 30 more hp then Harley, but for me, I rather go slower and sound meaner.

[@jhezy2000]

the con it doesnt sound like a Harley? i swear alot harley riders make the dumbest statements. my friends have harley i owned one they are nothing special at all. they have more recalls and any problem than any other bike. you pay for the name thats it nothing else.

[@michaelleslie8424]

I love my Victory kingpin

[@michaelshuler3349]

What's the last year of the victory?

[@sixchuterhatesgoogle3824]

2017, the same year they were ranked #4 in reliability. The Japanese brands only occupied the top three spots, because Honda and Suzuki tied for second place.

[@shanegonzales4377]

How tall are you ?

[@perezm714]

That's a clean bike.

[@twowheelinluke]

Sounds great

[@fatharold1788]

test ride a vulcan 900 please

[@KachuhzKachCan]

Im in Ozark mo also

[@jojojeep1]

how come everytime some one shows there bike , no matter what bike it is , they always compare it to a Harley, Honda, kawi, Yamaha, victory, they all do it , Harley never compare's there bike to any other , do you think that says something.

[@draganm7823]

You said it Bro! Its because HD is #1 worldwide. I have an 09 NigntTrain and no issues to date, love it. I checked out the Victory and its not cheaper than Harley when you add extras to the Victory so its dressed like the stock Harley. Ride safe.

[@jojojeep1]

and they sound like a metric, no soul , like a motor boat blum,blum,blum,blum,blum, I have a 91 softail never broke, but it only has 13,000 on miles on it, it's on my youtube c.h check and love, I mean like

[@draganm7823]

jojojeep1 i just checked it out, NICE, oldschool never goes out of style. You need to ride it more and enjoy it. I need to learn how to post videos so I can post my NightTrain.Ride safe.

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

yeah, it means they are all better. Just kidding lol HD's are beautiful machines. I think everyone compaires them to harley's because most people are more familiar with harley's. they own most of the motorcycle market compared to other companies. They are a baseline for everyone to go off of. For better or worse.

[@neowolfe]

Harleys are ugly as fuq

[@mr.codplays426]
