Why The Victory Octane is a Guinness World Record Holder

I have a modified octane, but for some reason it keeps going through tons of rear tires. Not really sure why 😆

[@ericschneider7294]

I own 3 victories all bought new. I have been with them from almost the start. They always took the other path and stayed on the cutting edge. New models evolved for the better. Unfortunately I feel this lead to Victories demise. Polaris corporate mentality, "hey let's totally scrap a great company and product line, that everyone loves, so maybe by starting another, it will do better". All I can say is, LOL !!! : ( Appreciate you showcasing them though.

Indian should bring back the octane for their sports cruiser range. To rival the vrods and fxdr etc. give it a 19” front and a 160-180 rear. Rake it out a little. I think they would be a big hit

[@Michael-zw9ou]

Im sure that would look great. Look up project 156. Limo ride was never the point of this bike from what I’ve read and from owning one. It handles like a much lighter bike. I always thought that fat tire would sit well on one too. Idk… having ridden one for awhile now, i think you would lose so much of what the bike is capable of. Still… it would be a mean ride and A to B would still be pretty fast. I might be ready for the chip now. Definitely wasn’t at first. Sweet Jesus!

[@micmac1121]

Victory had it going on. I loved the Octane and 8 ball. So sad they dropped out but hopefully they can become part of the Indian Heritage. In my eyes, Victory decided the name "Indian" would give them more credit in the bike world. IDK about that. I never wanted a Harley or an old Indian but I did want a burn out Octane! I felt a loss when Victory shut their owners and us riders out only offering Indian.

[@captainamerica6521]

that bike made my speedo come off! must be nice to own every bike and get paid to ride them! dream job

[@morteparla6926]

I can't find any photos of Octanes with ape hangers, but in my mind's eye, it would look absolutely beautiful with a set of 12" mini apes.

[@trextexting]

I have a Victory Octane with mini-apes. I was hesitant at first but once i sat on it for the first time, the arm position is dead-neutral straight and 100% comfortable... its the perfect height.

Polaris stop production on the victory line because they were selling 3 indians for every victory sold.it was a value decicision

[@ThomasDTY]

My biggest worry about buying a bike like that and probably the reason they're so cheap is parts are going to be really hard to find and expensive for a bike that was only built for a year before the manufacturer closed down.

You say "girl bike" like it's a bad thing... I've considered getting a Scout for a while, but I'd never heard of the Octane. Now, I kinda want an Octane.

[@sixchuterhatesgoogle3824]

As Lemmy from Revzilla said, the engine of the Scout has a dual personality. You can putter through town, or you can get on the highway and rip it. The Octane only has one personality; it doesn't even wake up until about 2,400 rpm. I rode both. Bought the Octane.

[@zack3915]

Get the Octane ( if you can find one) I test rode a Scout bobber and it was fun and I almost bought it.. until i rode the Octane. I had a huge grin on my face from the moment I first gave the throttle a good rollback. I was ready to do paperwork before my helmet was off lol.

I LOVE my Octane! Even though I get ribbed for buying a cloned Indian Scout "girls" bike. I angered many friends that ride Harleys and some sport bikes when they think their bike is fast and all they see is my tail light. LMAO! It's funny when one guy gets his feelings hurt then everyone wants to "try" and race you. Then I have to rib back, WOW I can't believe you got beat by a cloned Scout! LOL! And NO ONE can believe it's mostly stock except for the Radiant Shorty exhaust. I did lose to a Hayabusa but that's to be expected. I'd like to put a tuner on it and give that Hayabusa another run!

[@Michael-zw9ou]

Yup. That ain’t your grans sport cruiser. I wish i had another one to just wax and look pretty. It’s too fun to keep in the garage.

[@Pullenum]

Used to have this bike in white and had all the crap for it like the oem saddle bags and rpm gauge crash bars etc. Came off a 01 R1 and I can def say it's was pretty quick and super flickable. I did get rid of it for a Stryker. Just felt the bike was a lil too small and I'm 5'9 and the SOB would heat so much. Not cooling issues per say just would output so much heat and it's def something to keep in mind. It is a great bike and quick

[@zack3915]

I agree I have one and it does get pretty hot when you're stuck in traffic or at a light. The heat becomes a positive on those chilly fall mornings though lol.

[@johnmclaughlin4496]

I test rode an Octane. I very much wanted one until I rode it. The front end was way too light for me. It felt like it was hard to control if I got into a serious situation. I thought the front end needed an extra 30 pounds at least to feel stable.

[@CrankWilliamsJr]

Definitely not a beginner bike lol but after you get more experience riding, you should definitely consider coming back to one because damn it feels like nothing else

[@Michael-zw9ou]

I agree with Nick. The Harleys are so big and bulky while the response on this bike is beyond amazing for a sport cruiser. Between corners and traffic and near misses, its done everything I’ve ever asked of it except break 140. 😸 The light front end… I’ve felt that. I’ve felt it get wobbly. I realized it was because i was holding on so tight and i the bike was pulling away from underneath me. I now know to lean in much further and use my legs to help hang on. The bike will stay straight and on the ground if you don’t interfere too much. However, if you want a big limo with the thick bars the this ain’t the beast. You’re looking for a bear. This is more like a velociraptor. 😁

I would be a little worried about why the original owner removed the speedometer to begin with. Was it high miles and they were trying to hide it? Anyway, the 0 to 60 with a professional Rider are they octane is 3.6 seconds. So yeah, it's not a slow bike. Lol
