2008 Victory Motorcycle reviews

Having ridden a lot of bikes over the years, I lucked out in finding this gem of a bike when in the market to replace a bike from an accident. My girl friend suggested a local Victory dealership by where we lived, and I'm some glad she did because, if not, I might have bought a Harley. This bike beats all my expectation and is truly a pleasure to ride. Not only do you have the comfort for long rides but the power and handling for my sometime aggressive riding style at times, not to mention the great customer service I received. The guys are top notch. I don't see me ever selling this bike unless it was to upgrade to a new Vision. Show less

don't ride one unless you plan to own one. One ride and it's all over. I love my Vegas Jackpot Great power on the Highway with the 6th gear. The only thing I might change is a set of new pipes for a new sound. Show less

I will only tell you that I'm so happy I chose the Cory Ness Jackpot. I'm a tall women and the bike is low and balanced just right for me. The power this bike has only has heads turning. I can lean this bike easily with the 250mm back tire and it pops back up in line. If any women is interested in a Jackpot and want's a bike that will bring so much joy, don't pass this bike by. I'm very, very happy!! Show less

I BOUGHT THIS NEW LEFTOVER 08 KINGPIN LAST NOV OF 09. MIDNIGHT CHERRY. GOT A SCREAMIN DEAL. FINALLY HAD IT IN FOR IT'S 500 MILE SERVICE COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. HARD TO RIDE MUCH THROUGH THE WINTER. THE OIL SENSOR HAD A SMALL LEAK BUT THE DEALERSHIP TOOK CARE OF IT UNDER WARRANTY. OTHERWISE, NO PROBLEMS. TONS OF POWER, LOOKS GREAT, GOOD QUALITY. THE SEAT IS JUST SO SO. I DID A LOT OF HOMEWORK ON THIS BIKE. SPENT THE BETTER PART OF 2 YEARS RESEARCHING THE VICTORY'S AND HARLEY'S. CAME CLOSE TO A HARLEY SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT WAS THE GREAT DEAL I GOT PLUS THE 5 YR WARRANTY THAT FINALLY DID IT. SO FAR I've BEEN REAL HAPPY. WILL UPDATE AGAIN LATER THIS SUMMER, AFTER STURGIS.

I bought my 2008 Kingpin in August of 2009 and love it. It has a ton of power and is a nice comfortable ride. I went on a few organized rides this fall and even the Harley riders commented on how nice it looked. Very impressive, I can't wait for spring so I can start riding again. Show less

I am lovin' my '08 Midnight Cherry Jackpot premium. I took the MSF class two years ago with all intentions of buying a Kawasaki 600, Triumph 675 or Suzuki 750 but after going to bike shops seeming like every other day, I feel in love with the Victory Jackpot, the chrome and that 250 rear tire... In the last three months I have put on a little over 1100 miles. Spending the first few weeks on back roads, I now ride anywhere with my Harley biker buddy who can't keep his eyes off of it. I have ridden it to church, to work and to friends' houses and people say the same thing... Man, that's a nice bike! Oh, did I mention, I am 52 years old and this is my first bike? I am lovin' it!

Great balance, power, handling, no comparison to other bikes I've owned and rode. Show less

I hadn't owned a street bike in almost 30 years. Got the kids raised and thought it was time to get another one. I looked at all kinds of cruisers and wasn't really impressed with any of them except the Victory line up. I liked the looks of all the Victorys and decided to go with a Kingpin. Since there isn't a dealer close to where I live, I looked on the internet to see what I could find, and found my 2008 Kingpin premium. I went out of state to get it, but it sure was worth the trip! I've ridden it over 5000 trouble free miles since Feb. of this year when I bought it. Only thing I've done is changed oil at the recommended intervals and checked the tires air pressures. Took it to a dealer at around 2500 miles to be serviced and everything checked out fine. I ride with a lot of different brands of bikes including Harleys and everytime we stop, seems like the Kingpin always draws first attention! Went to a flea market about 60 miles from home and came back outside to the bike parking area and a crowd of 20 or more were checking out my Kingpin. Got a lot of compliments and was asked a lot of questions. I only wish there was a dealer here in Eastern Ky. so I wouldn't have to go so far to get oil and filters. Other than that, I'm tickled to death with my Kingpin and wouldn't trade it for anything!!! Show less

I can't say enough about my Street Vision other than I am very content with it and its performance. The quality, ergonomics, handling and everything else is top notch. I test rode all other touring bikes out there and did not take long to realize that the Vision was built especially for me and my stature. Will keep this one for a long time unless I decide to trade up on a newer Vision. Victory Corp.....keep up the great work. Show less

I just recently purchased, in June of 2009, a new 2008 Vegas Jackpot from a dealer. I have not had too much time to ride but do ride every chance I get. I find this bike handles so smooth that you think you are actually in an automobile. Its dependability to hold the road, especially in the curves, is unbeliveable. The comfort of the ride is like none other I have ever encountered. My son introduced me to the line of Victory motorcycles about a year ago. He owns a 2007 Hammer Premium Edition. After riding his I decided that Victory was for me. I contacted the dealer where he purchased his, and was given such a good deal I drove to Maine and picked up my bike in person. I have no regrets and will be a Victory rider for years to come. Show less
