2006 Victory reviews

Just got my '06 Cory Ness Signature Jackpot a few weeks ago. This bike runs and handles as good as it looks... it's one mean machine and it's all business. A head turner like no other! Power and acceleration compared to a Hog is so much better! All I can tell you is run away from the H-D showroom and get in the saddle of a Jackpot and see it all for yourself. Show less

I have owned SEVERAL motorcycles over the last 11 yrs, Sport bike to Cruisers. Victory has named the Jackpot just right. I have put 1900 miles on my bike in less than 3wks while still managing to work 45+ hrs a week and be a dad to 3. I have adjusted to the 250mm rear tire with ease, (just add the Ness pull backs). This is by far the best bike I have ever owned. If you can handle folks asking what is it at every stop light, Jackpot is for you!!!!! ENJOY THE RIDE!!!! Show less

I got mine about a month ago and it is the best bike I have ever owned. I've owned Harley, Triumph, Suzuki; you name it and I've had it. The bike has great power, looks and comfort. Wherever I go, I get compliments galore about that big fat tire, after a few times riding you don't even notice it's back there. Try one yourself you'll love it. Show less

I ride a Hammer, third Victory I have purchased and they have all been flawless. Wouldn't own another bike. The resale on a Victory is still being established because of their newness. Then again, I bought my bike to ride, and plan on having it for a while. I did sell my first V92C for more than I paid for it. Show less

Wow. This bike is awesome. The power, torque, looks, fit, everything is top-notch. I purchased an H-D Street Bob for my wife and there is no comparison at all. This bike handles well, once you're above 25 mph. Below that and it requires a bit of English to turn it. The throttle response is outstanding. Passing is no problem, even in sixth. As far as riding position, it's the only bike I've tried that has really fit my large body frame. The only thing I'm not COMPLETELY happy with, and let me make this very clear, it's not a real big deal, is the rear suspension is not very compliant. This bike would take a little getting used to on long road trips, but that's not why I got it. The paint is show quality -- beautiful! The stage 1 pipes give a nice bark when you blip the throttle, but are not harsh at all when you are cruising. In addition, the HID headlight is unbelievable. Overall, this bike is head and shoulders superior to my brother's Softail (Screamin' Eagle) and my wife's Street Bob; and both of their machines are great, too. If you're trying to decide between a Harley and this bike -- get this bike, you WILL NOT be disappointed. Show less

All I can say is WOW. This bike is the best bike by far. I just traded my 03 Vegas for this 06 Ness Jackpot and I am so pleased with this bike. The tire is not even an issue for me, once you get it into the corner it glides as if it's on a rail. The power is great and the looks of this bike are awesome. Show me an H-D with a factory custom tire and paint job like this one with a 100 Cubic Inch motor. I don't THINK SO... I am still waiting for my Santa Rosa vee twin pipes (CLUBS) with the stage one kit and MBW LED turn signals front and back with a side mount plate. Everywhere I go all I hear is look at that back tire and that paint job. Awesome bike; I love it so much, I can't stop smiling. Worth every penny. I have ridden many bikes and then this bike, along with my Vegas, is one of the smoothest bikes you will ever ride. This bike is a true Cadillac. Show less

The power, response, stability, and design of the Jackpot are fantastic. I find the bike much more enjoyable to ride than my Vegas, and while other bikes may handle a little easier, this bike is no dog. You do need to tell it to turn, but it'll hold the line and power through the turn as good as, if not better than any other bike I've ridden! Show less

All my buddies ride Harleys so I didn't want to be just one of the herd of sheep. So I decided to look around. I still wanted to ride an American made bike so that limited things a lot also knowing that Arlen Ness was very instrumental in its development helped my decision a lot. I love my Hammer it has the perfect combo of style and the power to back it up. don't be just one of the sheep buy a Victory. Show less

I love the looks and questions people have about this bike, "what is it?" "Is that tire factory?" It looks great with the 250MM rear. I went with my own Camaro SS style stripes (silver and black). Looks Killer! Show less

I've been away from riding now for about 26 years. After doing my research and talking to other riders, I decided to check a Victory. Talk about rider friendly, it's as if I've never stopped riding. The bike's balance and feel inspire confidence. This would be a great newbie bike. Show less
