2008 Victory Touring Bike reviews

This is a great motorcycle. I purchased it new and have about 60,000 miles on it. The ride is great on long and short runs. I have done half of the United States and if it was not for time and money I would have done it all twice by now. It is just a great machine that was built well. Show less

I have been riding motorcycles for 46 years and have owned and ridden all the touring bikes and most cruisers, including, Harley, BMW, Gold Wing, Kawasaki, and Honda. I have put over 180,000 miles on a touring bike in just the last 10 years and have ridden in all but four states and in seven Canadian provinces. After putting 67,400 miles on my Vision in the last 39 months, I can tell you it is the sweetest bike out there. Handling, comfort, wind and weather protection, performance and electronics are the best of class. 67,400 miles and not one mechanical problem at all. Show less

It's an excellent ride. I will not go back to any other bike. It handles like a champ. It's a better ride and performance than Harley. Show less

I have had my Vision for two years now and 10,000 miles and absolutely love it. I have a short seat height, variable windshield, sound system, etc. It's a great bike and I would buy another one in a minute. Show less

Just returned from a 16-day, 6700 mile trip on my 2008 Victory Vision Tour. I had no problems on the trip. I rode with three other riders. Two were on Gold Wings, and the other was riding a new H-D Ultra. I had no problems with comfort on the Vision other than repositioning my butt every now and then. The other guys had to use pads on their seats. When we stopped for fuel, my Vision always took less fuel to fill. I noticed that my Vision (with Stage One exhaust) sounded much healthier than the new Harley without the vibration. The Gold-Wings sounded like economy cars. Just get the noise fixed in the tranny (it's ridiculous)! I just wanted to add that people come up and take pictures of my Vision with their cell phones a lot. If you want a bike that draws a lot of attention, get a Victory Vision. Show less

I recently purchased an '08 Vegas with a premium package of chrome, billet wheels, and Performance 2 in 1 exhaust. This baby roars! If you can find a leftover year model, you will save a lot of money. And it's worth it! It is faster than any Harley I'e ever ridden and looks a lot better than those old dinosaurs. I am definitely a Victory fan. Also, it's still made in the USA... Show less

When I bought my 2010 Vegas I bought it with the feeling that I was getting more for my buck than if I would have gone with a Harley. I hit that nail square on the head. I love my bike and I think that I have converted a few long time harley riders. When I was looking at the Harleys, the sales people told me that when I buy a Harley, I can park in front of the bar. Two weeks after I bought my bike, I was at a poker run and saw the salesmen on the side of the road broke down. I stopped and said the reason I went with a Victory is so that I will make it to the bar. Show less

Handling means the Vision is a fine ride in town. The Visions comfort means pleasant long mile days. 106 cu. in. means performance that puts a smile on your face no matter where you ride. Once your ride begins, the Vision's over-all superior package wins your heart, looks not-withstanding. I've owned 12 motorcycles in the past 22 years. To date, the Victory Vision, in my opinion, is the best all around motorcycle I've owned and ridden. Show less

I have owned a number of motorcycles but I have to say that the Victory Vision by far tops them all in comfort, style and looks. Show less

I bought a new 2008 Kingpin Tourer last Sept. In the first week I put 2500 Kms on the machine. On the morning after I bought the bike I experienced a failure of the speedometer. It started to flip up and down and then quit. As you can imagine I was not impressed. However I drove directly to the dealer who knew exactly what was wrong and they replaced the speed sensor on top of the tranny. 15 minutes and I was back on the road. The ride is fantastic especially when I ride 2 up. I have yet to see another bike in this color combo and I think it is beautiful. (black Cherry and silver with Gold scollops in the silver paint). The wife and I love it! Show less
