You must not have ridden a lot of bikes because my 2017 magnum left a lot to be desired decent bike but not quite there and I won't even begin bring up the buffeting on that b
@@ltx383 modern technology, throttle sux , Bluetooth sucks,stereo sucks , rides nice good power, the wind buffeting made me feel sick after every ride like your head was in a paint shaker tried a ton of different windshields and it never changed anything it was always there
@@bigboom4684Bro thanks for all that info. Looking at getting my first bagger. Victory Magnum for seems a great price. I can’t say I really ridden anything of that size or caliber. So maybe it won’t set the bar too high lol. Has complete aftermarket audio. But what I’ve always heard complaints about is the buffeting. I’ll let you know how it goes.
The Indian name speaks for itself. If Polaris brought Victory back, sales would skyrocket if placed alongside the Indian models. Simple yet effective marketing.
@@joshuaederer7883 Hahahahahaha, i owned 3 of them up until March 2021 2007 Arllen Ness Jackpot, 2016 Cross Country Tour & 2016 Magnum, they were great bikes but i got tired of hunting for parts and our local dealer was pretty much useless, so they all got sold. The only thing that boosted the price of the 3 Victory's was the fact that it was mid COVID and they were selling for crazy money. Also sold my 2 Indian's. The Harley's i owned were the only ones that never got sold, now i have 3 Harley's, 2009 Rocker C, 2014 Dyna Wide Glide & 2021 Street glide, i doubt i will ever get another Victory and i cant see myself getting another Indian
2016 Magnum with an undrerdrive pulley and a Maximus tune can easily keep up with a cammed 103 and a stock 114. Love my Vic. Looks like the Vic missed a gear in his third run. Too bad that happen it would’ve been a total shutout. Lol.
My 05 vegas 8 ball with the 92" was running right with both my brother's 2020 Harley 112's no problem, they both had to get into a bigger HD to finally pull away.
Victory would still be here if they marketed their bikes for what they were ; Performance cruisers for the working class. Easy to modify ,durable ,solid handling machines. It is my opinion they could have done better if they weren't trying compete head to head with HD. Their ads made direct comparisons. That is something that should have been left to the motojournalist and the customers. A better effort should have been taken to emphasize their strengths against the broader market. By the time they were going under ,the import prices had caught up to the American brands. There was larger market share to be had for them if they would've taken notice of the competition coming from Japan as much as they sought a rivalry with HD. Bean counters too busy looking at the top dog ,tripped over the ladder they should've been climbing while trying to jump over it.
My 2008 Victory Vegas unbelievable that bike I rode it hard and daily it no problem simplicity and performance like no other and I'm a Harley Davidson person
@@snakebite6511 they never did shit until they went out of business. 1500 vics slap the shit out of twin cams and evos . Unless you're riding a brand new Harley the victory is kicking your ass.
@@snakebite6511 that doesn't change the fact they got shit on the entire time they existed.. and as far as I'm concerned Indian still does. I'm primarily into 4 cylinders but I do have a twin also and a Harley is the last thing on my list of considerations when I'm looking at bikes. Only real thing they got going for them is their huge aftermarket. If everyone stopped kidding themselves a gold wing is better than either of them
Oh all day, I have a 2010 CC, with the Lloydz 505 cams, Lloydz High Filter,, Freedom True Duals, Maximus tune, 1/4 turn throttle ring. Certainly not the fastest out there, but God damn its quick.
I love my 2016 XC but it will probably be my last Victory (I've owned 3). Would love to own a challenger dark horse for my next cruiser. What do you think of it so far?
Just bought me an 11 Victory Cross Roads and about to put the full front faring on it Road it to Panama City Beach from Nashville and back and I gotta say as my first cruiser I absolutely love the thing! She did every favor in the book to keep me comfortable and she got the loons to match! Definitely happy I got the bike for sure!
Saving this video to show my buddies who constantly shit on Victory. They're such great bikes but some people are just too closeminded to give them a chance. I am on my third Victory in 3 years now (2016 XC over on my channel) and it seems like they're pretty highly sought after here in Utah. They aren't listed very long before they're sold.
bought a '12 highball, this makes me giggle.... i smoked my buddies HD not long ago, hes put his bike in the shop for more hp.... these cams look spicy....
I just dinoed my victory. It’s a 2013 cross country with 90,000 miles on it. stage one tune on the factory engine and a Lloyd’s timing wheel at 4-1/2 * advance. It just came out at 107 .99 hp at the rear wheel which kind of blew me away and then a week later I broke my right slack adjuster go figure. Well, the pursuit is basically a victory. All of them have the same piece of shit slack adjuster but I think I’ll buy one. I see an aftermarket opportunity here. !
I own a 2012 , victory Vegas… My GF owned a VTX 1800, the Rev limiter is too soon…. I feel it’s just waking up and then your on top of the limiter….. Honda played it safe, but just a little too safe for my liking 😂
thry are pretty cheap. I picked up an 06 hammer with custom green paint and air brushed lightning bolts for 6 grand 4 years ago. I love it! It is fast for a cruiser too
Thank you guys and I m saving up for one now ! I have always been more thank impressed with pretty much all victory models victory has ever made ! I will own one !!!!!
Nice, we cruise CT a lot because of the passenger helmet laws. Once my ole lady got a taste of riding without one she doesn’t like RI as much haha. Stay safe man.
There's no way that victory ran a 9 second quarter mile or even more crazy than Harley ran at 10 second.... Still a cool comparison. Idsaytatvictory would run an 11.0 at its best day. And that's fastas fuck. Btw I have a 2103 victory highball 106ci. Love my bike
Ya love my v92 at 1/4 the cost of a Harley but that’s ok guess I own a Harley have enough parts to build one just missing motor and a frame just lots of garage art
Victory still rules and will become a legend...
lol
But not a living legend since Victory died years ago…🤣
@@RoadieWingZZ Yep, now bigger than the life of the legend it was. Bought it not wanting the same ole and now it is bigger than Reality…
My 2015 Victory Magnum is the best bike I have ever had...Ride it till the wheels fall off!
I just purchased a 2016 Magnum yesterday, can't wait to ride it, was it a good choice!?? I had 2 HD hated them traded a 20q2 Yamaha Stratoliner 113

wouldn't that be great!
Polaris should've left the brand alone and continued building the Victory brand.

@@joshuaederer7883 Victory was filling a serious void in the motorcycle market.
I love all motorcycles but my 2017 Victory magnum X1 is by far the best and baddest machine I've ever owned.
I miss the victory motorcycles, they were great bikes. Too bad they didn't sell more of them.
Bad advertising
I think it’s great they didn’t sell many. Boosts the value of the 2 I own.

@@snakebite6511what parts were you tired of hunting for?
I bought a 2008 Victory Kingpin 8 ball in February of 2008. I currently have 72K miles on her and and still going. I'll never give her up!
Ill be driving my Victory Highball for as long as I can, love this bike.
Me too. I will do the same on my 2012 Highball. Yeah
Me three my2014 is a beast 💪bad to the bone
Victory Vision Best touring relax bike for ever
Still riding my 2010 Hammer😁👌
LOL! on that second one Harley guy was cheering and then learns he still got beat....LOL!
Long live Vics!
I love my Vic. I've left a few HDs in the dust. And mine is a 92ci.
I've got a 04 vegas with Lloyd's torque tube and rpw big slash. Pretty bitchin.
Loved every second of this! Harley guys always question why I went Victory... then I show them... no further questions lol 😆!
EVERY TIME I GET ON MY VICTORY CROSS COUNTRY , I THINK WHAT A FINE MOTORCYCLE IT IS AND I GOT MY MOTORCYCLE LICENSE IN 1974
They have that effect. Thanks for watching, be sure to check out some of our other victory content!

Metaphorically that victory was gone by the time harley made 2nd gear

It's a 10 year old Victory motor and Harley still can't beat it... I'm not surprised
Harley did beat it and the Harley was older with a smaller engine lol

This is why im proud to ride a Victory, video says it all.. Just saying.............

They’re great bikes 💪🏻
Just bought one myself, best decision ever!
No soul? Bullspit!!! Victory has just about the same amount of Soul or more!!!!!!!!!@
He gave the Harley a break he was only in 5th gear it's a 6 speed bike. Vic life 🔥🔥🔥
If he didn't miss that gear he would have won all three rounds
lol
Harley Davidson is the master at making the biggest engine possible with the least amount of power
You're not wrong
The victory guy kept hitting the rev limiter or he would have done better.
Love Victory...great American motorcycle
I own 2 victorys, I'll keep both till I die ❤❤❤❤❤❤
had a shovel head. now its my Victory Kingpin. Wont go back.
Difference is the Vic was able to ride away afterwards and the HD had to go in for a rebuild lol. Jk they're both great machines.
Harley’s back tire was slipping on the dyno from all the oil leaks. 🤣😂

Victory all day Harley is a cave man brand
My 2009 victory is hands down best bike I've ever had..till the wheels fall off and then some
Thanks for watching. Make sure to hit that subscribe button . New Victory video coming Monday !
Just staged II my cross country 8 ball. Man, these bikes are great to ride and overlooked.
For sure !
Nice job..
That Vic missed a gear on the third round or he would have gotten all three
Heard that too
Polaris bring Victory back!!!!
No Way either of those bikes are running 9 or 10 sec 1/4 mile times.
With zero wind resistance on this dyno it’s plausible, but on an actually drag strip I’d agree !
Nope
More like 13
Im gettin used to my 2011 Victory vision.. after running a HD limited low.. so far i dont see a down side. For Half. The money..
They’re great machines
Put em on a track!
bought a '12 highball, this makes me giggle.... i smoked my buddies HD not long ago, hes put his bike in the shop for more hp.... these cams look spicy....

Those adjusters can definitely be a pain
You should put a Honda VTX up against a victory and see if it is any chance of getting near the power
Quick google search produced the following: Honda VTX 1800 - 90hp. Victory 106 - 96.7hp.
I own a 2012 , victory Vegas…
My GF owned a VTX 1800, the Rev limiter is too soon….
I feel it’s just waking up and then your on top of the limiter…..
Honda played it safe, but just a little too safe for my liking 😂
Can I play this game with my rice burner. It would be adios amigo.
I've left sport bikes in the dust with my gunner!
Bring Back Victory Motorcycles
Victory all makes more power even with a smaller motor.
Please tell me who put fonzy on the hd
I will own a Victory before I die or my life has been in vain completely!!!!
There’s plenty of good deals if you keep your eyes out
thry are pretty cheap. I picked up an 06 hammer with custom green paint and air brushed lightning bolts for 6 grand 4 years ago. I love it! It is fast for a cruiser too
Thank you guys and I m saving up for one now ! I have always been more thank impressed with pretty much all victory models victory has ever made ! I will own one !!!!!

117K and I'm sure it still runs like new !
i like victory love the look

@@3_AM I never thought about the wind drag. Your absolutely right.
The vics are sweet and sound real good when work has been done but i feel like the hd guy is trying to baby his bike.... which i get but still lol
I love it when the victory hits rev limiter !!!.. when it hits it reminds me to change gears on my one ..
It does have a good limiter. My 2020 Harley just kind of floats when it hits and doesn't bounce.... boring.

Harley Davidson all the way
They fudged the Harley numbers.
LoL probably so ! 🤣🤣🤣

Victory looks nothing like a Harley! Dream on guy 🤣
Lmfao your high the vic's look nothing like Harleys
Harley can’t be king if they keep losing the races. Js
HD wishes the had the engineering and smarts to build something like a victory. From the rubber up victories are way superior
O
One of those bikes was starving for fuel at top end.
The victory was riding that Rev limiter for some odd reason on every run.
@@oh-qn6ht because he was at the bikes top speed, in 6th gear, at redline. No more to go really at that point.
@@fader2701 That was 5th gear, 6th is just an overdrive. he needs to raise the rev limiter
Victory was a great bike, they just didn't have the soul of the Harley. It's a shame because they were a well built bike
Junk vs junk
Nah is that was the case it would be the Harley vs your momma.
