I feel sorry for Victory owners....just look at the aftermarket potential for customizing....look at the forums traffic....resale value...almost zero on all of it...Just get a Harley for gods sake... I can understand if they were cheaper, but they arent.
Let me say that I like Victory's and I very happy to have another American bike on the market. I haven't ridden one yet, soon maybe.I Have been a Harley rider for the last 41 years so it would be hard for me to change. I Do Not like motorcycle advertisements that compare bikes to cars ! Cars are for getting groceries or rainy days, bikes are for everything else!
@themaxrlder *Facepalm* - Victory Bikes scream Metric? By Metric you mean foreign and Japanese. You do realize that Victory's are made in the U.S. and are made up of more U.S. made components than Harley Davidson right?
If not foreign, then you must be referring to the limited use of gaskets, superior gear box, and the overhead cam shafts instead of a push-rod. All of these features are the result of superior engineering and craftsmanship.
It is true. I bought mine in '06. I was looking at the Fatboys, but wanted to check out the Victorys first. I've never been sorry about my decision. Best bike on the road in my opinion.
@edwardwhood I ride cruisers - and if it weren't for my full face helmet, I'd be much uglier than I am today. I'll take the full face any day of the week.
Interesting thats about it,harley headlight, honda drive shaft instead of drive belt, not sure really what to think, probably still way out of the pricing range of any normal working mans salary...
looks a little like my 2001 V92 SC.....i like the forward pegs/controls on my Harley FXSTSB (Badboy) but although hip cramping is less common with fwd controls...the center pegs let you stand up and stretch without stopping....this is a nice addition to Victory's line up and I don't think it looks anything like a Sportster....I have an 07 883....GREAT MUSIC..."LET'S RIDE"....:)
@unsavage Really? My wife has an '07 883 as well and I think her bike and this one cut a somewhat similar profile (not that they're exactly the same or anything). None the less it looks like we both like the bike. Maybe we can go for a ride together some day and argue about it :)
Wow - interesting bike. At first glance it looks to me like an 1800cc Sportster. A powerful option for folks who are essentially looking for a big, new, 'standard' bike, with possibilities to make it a very powerful cafe racer.
@africanos89 It looks to me like the idea is to use the round covers as number plates (or something similar) - it'll be interesting to see what they look like with graphics applied. It's a cool idea IMO.
not drag bars just every day low rise... vic should know better to try to bullshit anyone, but still better then the goofy stock high bars..... round head lite ya... took long enough to sort that out.. duhaaa. mid controls bull shit move them back more raise ,the seat. give it some ground clearance.. then you have a winner

The Judge is an all-around Sweet Bike.

Just a suggestion
on the Uk official victory site you still have cubic inches as the measurement for engine capacity and no brit knows what size engines you have
might as well be in cubic fathoms
