2009 Victory Cory Ness Jackpot Touring Bike reviews

Like most reviewers will tell you - don't buy this bike - unless you want to get noticed. I've had cars almost go off the highway because the driver is checking out my ride. So far I've only put on a couple of hundred miles but it is great. I upgraded from a 2003 Honda Shadow 750 ACE, and there is a huge difference in power and performance. The bike is beautiful, from the detail of the diamond cut cylinders, to the factory/custom paint job. My wife also loves the bike riding two up. My only complaint of the whole bike is the seat. I love the looks but wish it was a little more comfortable. Show less

I purchased my Cory Ness Signature on September 23, 2009. A limited edition bike (only 250 were made), mine is #245. Wonderful acceleration, this bike has plenty of power to spare. A substantial ride, it is solid while still being nimble. Corners well considering the wide back tire. Will get Metzlers when it's time to replace tires. It handles and rides really well, the seat is extremely comfortable and even though I won't add a windshield or saddlebags (that's just sinful on a gorgeous bike like this)I'd have no qualms jumping on it and riding across the country. Extremely reliable, never had a problem with it. Easy to do my own oil changes. If you're shy, don't buy this bike. I've had people scream at me across lanes of traffic and at traffic lights. I've been surrounded by groups of gawking people, and I've even had people step out into traffic to get a better view. My favorite was getting a nod and a thumbs up from a 80+ year old pedestrian as he walked past. I guess bikers don't grow old, we just add training wheels or a sidecar. Show less

While on vacation my wife and I saw the 2009 Cory Ness Vegas Jackpot. What can I say but WOW!!! Which is one of the most common comments I hear, everywhere I go on this bike. The salesman, was very informative, helpful, pleasant and not pushy, just my type of saleman. We had been looking at 'bare bones' cruisers for a couple of years now, and we already have a hard bagger, so luggage space was not what we wanted. As there are no Victory dealers in our home area, we had been spending a lot of time looking at Victory's online. And getting a great bike with quality construction and engineering are important to me, as I am getting too old to want to spend my evenings tightening nuts and bolts on my ride. Anyway, they made us a great deal and I rode the bike from Lake Havasu City, Arizona to our home in the center of Washington State. 1,300 miles of pure riding pleasure. It has a smooth ride, great acceleration, holds the road like it is glued to it, and is the best balanced bike I have ever ridden. Another plus is; I averaged 55 mpg for the whole trip. A few times getting 56.7 mpg. It is almost embarrasing, the number of compliments I get on the bike, and getting back on the road after a stop is sometimes difficult, because people gather around admiring it and asking questions. Driving down the highway I see everybody from young children to truck drivers giving me a 'thumbs up' and shouting out compliments. A buddy and I took our bikes to a small town that gets a lot of bikers and I noticed about 60 Harley's, a couple of Goldwings and a BMW parked near the local watering hole. When we came back out to our rides, the only group of people checking the rides out, were all clustered around my Victory. So you can spend a lot of time telling people what it is, what size engine, gas mileage et cetera. Love it!! Not much else I can say. Show less
