Victory Classic Cruiser reviews

I had not been on a cycle for 32 years when I decided on getting my license renewed. I looked at all the cruisers and settled in on the 2003 Victory classic cruiser. Could not be happier. I've put 4000 miles on it since purchasing it in May, 2003 and last weekend drove it 900 miles to Champaign , Il and back. Not a problem encountered, great sound at the stock level. Service at my dealer is quick and painless. I'd look at victory again if I buy another bike Show less

I know I am closing in on 2000 miles on my 03 TC , sonic blue. I love this bike. Very agile and quick for a big bike. I would do it again. Show less

First the bad news. Definitely looking for an after-market seat. Im a big guy (240) with extra luggage in the butt, and the stock seat is a bit small/hard. ANY recommended seats are appreciated. Drop an e-mail if you want The good news. I love the bike. I ride two up with the wife, and power is not a problem. She loves the way it handles and how smooth it is. The really good news. A fellow biker and Road King owner wants my bike!!! He said if he saw the DTC first he would have bought it. A friend has a Fat Boy and his daughter said the ride on my bike is great...just have to work on the pipes (which the Stage I kit will take care of). If you are on the fence about a Victory, hop off and get one!! You won't be sorry. Show less

I just recently got my Touring Cruiser. Let me say I also own a 99 Cruiser. The TC is head and shoulders above the 99, smoother, more power, handles better and stops on a dime. I would suggest that anyone interested in a Victory do a search for the Victory Motorcycle Club. Lots of technical info available. Show less

I have owned my Victory Touring Cruiser for one year now. Here in Florida we ride year 'round, so the miles are rolling up... Like many others I have owned japanese bikes in the past and wanted something American made... I priced HD Road Kings and was shocked at the cost... I purchased the Victory Touring Cruiser after a friend recommended that I test ride one. That test ride was all I needed. The bike accelerates quickly, handles nicely, and stops extremely well. I am a big person and it rides smoothly with my wife and I riding two up along with packed bags. I got a bike that rides like a dream and outperforms my buddies on their Road Kings and Ultra Classic's every weekend. If you are a serious rider and want a solid touring bike you have to try this out. If you are in it for a name, then you belong on a Harley. HD makes a good bike, but Victory has something special for much less. Show less

got an '03 touring cruiser sonic blue yesterday, traded in a kawa 800 vulcan classic... the vic actually handles better and tracks better in slow turns than the kawa... stage one kit really improves sound and power... really great bike Show less

I read about Victory Motorcycles in US news and World report back in 1995? Yea right, I thought. A couple of years ago I looked them up again. Sure enough Polaris came through and built an inexpensive American bike. I had to check it out, I looked up the most local dealer and asked for a test drive. I could bearly hold on. That was 2001 and I have ridden my Vic for 15k since then. This is my first bike, and dropping it was inevitable. I had 2 minor spills at low speed and very little damage ocoured. I had a major spill involving wind, sand, and an exit ramp. The impact between the bike and the high curb was massive at 40+ mph. Despite spraining my ankle, I was able to ride the leaky broken bike home. It only cost about $1600 and an afternoon to repair the bike myself and it looks and rides good at new. My Vic is an outdoor bike. It lived 4 blocks from the beach for nearly 2 years and the chrome looks great, the sissy bar was the only problem. It started rusting. When I got a call from Vic to find out how I liked my bike. I let them know where I lived and that the sissy bar was a problem. In 2002 the sissy bar was totally different. I've never seen a company respond like that. I fully expect to see 100k on it. Well... unless I break down and buy a Vegas before then. Vic's tak a lickin and keep tickin. Show less

I really wanted a new roadking but 24,000 was just to much money. I can buy a new Truck for that. My 03 TC has about 2000 mile on it now and runs like a dream. I can out run out stop and out corner a roadking. It's a great value. If your in the market for a big road bike you owe it to yourself to go test ride a Victory. Show less

I used to dream about owning a Harley.... Not any more after purchasing my 2003 Victory Yellow Classic Cruiser. Show less

i purchased a 2003 touring cruiser. i have 1030 mi so far and it has been great. plenty of power and i get alot of compliments wherever i go. if it proves to be a reliable bike many miles down the road i won't hesitate to buy another. it is american made without the price gouging monopoly that harley uses in the business. i have to mention the great service and excellent treatment I get from my dealership. They go the extra mile to deal with you. i have read other reviews complaining of poor dealer support which makes me glad we have a dealership that has been strictly in the bike business for many years in my area. quin Show less
