- My review of the 2006 Victory Vegas 8 Ball cruiser motorcycle. I test ride the bike and give my first thoughts and impressions.
The bike belongs to motovlogger "1.21 Jiggawatz" / @121jiggawatz
The bike has a 100 cubic inch V-Twin engine and produces insane amounts of torque. Belt driven. - Авто та транспорт
Man, that looks so much like where I used to live in Arizona. Thanks for the video - looking to buy a new Gunner soon.
Sick! Great vid, I'm leading towards Vegas 8 ball or a Breakout. But I definately love the 8ball look. thanks for sharing
the sound is simply badass
What a sound. It's a music for my ears
really enjoyed your videos I'm on the market for my first bike and this is interesting the least to say. thx
Those pipes sound badass!
One of my bikes is the 06 8 ball and I love it.
Great Ride and Video Dude, I subbed! Keep em coming :)
+Bikingwith Beach Thanks!
Good video. Not a whole of yapping. You just let us listen to the awesome bike. Thanks for that 👍👍👍
I love mine I have the same bike model and year. I agree with all of his remarks.
Nice review 😀
+Moto Virus Thanks!
Oh that Smooove Belt Drive doh !!!
;)
Nice R&R
+Dracati Ducati Very smooth!
at 70 do you need a windshield? Are you fighting trying to keep going at higher speeds?
This is the only Victory that I really like. The other ones are okay, but the Vegas 8-Ball just looks amazing. I've never ridden one, but everyone seems to really enjoy them.
+Freespiritphil They look great and the low end torque is awesome!
I have a 2008 Victory Vegas 8 Ball...I love it.
rogue109 how is the reliability?
Arthur Regan...I have a 2016 vegas and the reliability is insanely awesome. They’re bulletproof
I got to ride the Dragon last week it was insane!!!
if you like tail of the dragon check out a young guy that goes by the nic max wrist
I need one!
The bike sounds great. What does it have for an exhaust?
I have the same bike and love it. The only issue with that bike is the clutch cable design sucks. What I'll probably do next season is convert it to a wet clutch if I can
how similar to the 04 would this bike be? and would 3500 be a good price for a top condition one?
Cool Vid
+100SpokeRiderz Thanks
He was in Surprise down the street from my house. Recognized that gas station.
cool video love the way you guys blast pass each other. I love A American v twin that isnt harley davidson tired of their B.S,.
I'd like to try that bike.
it's waiting for you
Is that the first year of the 6 speed?
iv been testing these out just haven't found the right
Where do you find all the empty highways!!!!!!!
I own one these and its awsome 🎉
The more I see about Victory's the more I lust for one.
+Eric Gudzinas Me too. I would choose this over a comparable Harley just for the looks alone.
I used hate cruisers, after riding with a couple people in my group whom had Victory's it quickly changed my opinion.
+Eric Gudzinas Exactly. Can't knock it til' you try it ;)
I haven't tried much, I've just ridden my Seca and my Ninja. Gotta find someone with a cruiser I can throw my leg over.
+Eric Gudzinas hit up 1.21 Jiggawatz. he let's everyone ride his bike ;) hahah
Love looks of these bikes :)
me too, though I prefer the classic wire spokes to the new ones
Good vid but why don't you strap your gloves? Drives me crazy lol.
The velcro actually stopped working. My newer videos have my new gloves lol.
+archinuk417 Makes sense. Thanks for the quick reply!
Fashion statement
How does this bike compare to the Indian Chief Dark Horse?
I think they are very similar but I like the looks of the Dark Horse more
What size bike is this one equivalent to? 1000/1100/1200 etc
greg smith almost 1800
Getting my first bike in about 5 months. is this a good bike for that? I'm 5'7 140 lbs
+Austin Peterson I would say no and here's why: A ton of power, very heavy bike, somewhat difficult to control at low speeds for a beginner. I would recommend a Kawasaki Vulcan or Yamaha Bolt for you. I have reviews on those two bikes.
+archinuk417 I'm actually thinking of getting this as my first bike. Do you think it has too much power, or is it something I could grow into? I'm 6'1 and a (pretty fit) 220.
sorry, no...I've been riding for almost 40 years and fit or not...a big guy or not....size and weight doesn't give you skill......as stated, start off with a bolt, an 883 harley, or a myriad of other mid sized bikes. I'd stay away from any "low" version due to your height.....I had a 1200 nightster and I'm 5'8" and was comfortable (ride sucked though) for legs etc. They are a "low" version of a 1200 sporty and you'd be cramped on it.
You want to know one of the best starter bikes on the planet? A yamaha Radian 650.....you could probably pick one up used for $2000 and if you dump it? no sweat.....
I'd actually recommend a rider training course if there's one available in your area. They teach you things like reverse/opposite steering etc....after the course you'll be able to maneuver, feet up, at 2 mph and slower.....

Sportsters are an awful beginner bike. They are also heavy (about 100lbs lighter than the victory) but they are top heavy as hell.
@@JSAFIXIT I wouldn't call an 883 heavy, but "heavy" is a relative term. They are "heavy" compared to an EX500 yes.
informative but i got motion sickness watching.
1:29 lol what is that guy doing? He's like, "hey pretty lady, I see you looking at me on my yamaha"
I wrote this comment before I watched past that point lol
Torn between this bike or an sport bike...can't make up my mind. Gxsr 750, CBR600, or a Vegas Jackpot
They are two very different bikes and they are fun in different ways.
everyday riding commuting to work get a sports bike,,long rides get a cruiser
archinuk417 just bought an 2011 Victory Vegas Jackpot!
How are you liking it?
Sean M I love it! Loud and fast!!!
These are a badass fucking bike for sure. Buuut ill still ride my Honda haha.
+Panda RidesAgain They are! Which Honda model?
archinuk417 The Shadow vt1100. Im currently turning it into a bobber after wrecking it 3 years ago. so I haven't been riding. my wreck messed my head up good. 36 stitches and some challenges that occurred as an after affect. So yeah. I should have worn a helmet.
+Panda RidesAgain Dang that sucks man. Now you know to wear gear! lol
Fuck.. That CBR looked archaic compared to the 8ball
