Victory Vegas Jackpot reviews

After a long break from biking I wanted something that I could ride with confidence. 64 years young and still a rebel at heart. I fell in love with the low at first sight and nothing's changed. The thrill of the power when needed or just crusing around the lovely lanes in Devon. Buy one - you only have one life!! 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

I picked up my bike when I was stationed at Macdill a year ago and I have had nothing but awesome rides with it. I've ticked over 11k miles on mine and it still keeps chugging along. Other than tires, oil, and brakes, this rig just keeps going. And the few times I've worked on it, it's actually fun to work on, with little to no problems tearing it down for work. The rear wheel assembly comes off with a breeze and changing the oil, unlike other bike company's which I won't name, you only change the oil. Not 6 other kinds of fluids! The only thing that might be a problem is that I can't stay off of it! Huge power! I'll admit, I can't keep up with my buddy's Kaw' ZX14, but it'll smoke any showroom floor V-Twin on the market, hands down. Throw on some pipes and an intake, and she'll open up even more. Even with all that power on tap, I average 175 miles to the tank, about 40 miles to the gallon if I'm not getting on her hard all the time. I've been riding for about 5 years, trying out my friends bikes, sport bikes to hard baggers, and nothing compares to it. Now the bad....the transmission is geared a little bit low for my liking. Keeping in mind though, most of my riding is crankin down the interstate at 80mph (trying to keep up with traffic, crazy flordia drivers!), but even at that speed, the power band is right there all the time. No down shifting needed! Just roll down on the throttle and before you know it, she's touchin 100 mph. It's got the torque for the low end and the horsepower for the high end. After 4000rpm, this baby rips hard. If you're riding 2 up and you're a bigger dude, get the rear suspension pre-load tightened up, it's a little soggy in the rear end other wise. Get a new seat if you wanna do more than just bar hop and cruise the town. Nuff said... I would HIGHLY encourge you to try this rig out. If Victory keeps up with what they did with this bike, the 100 cu in motor and Six speed tranny will only shine up this rockets luster. don't get a HD, 'cause I know you've looked at them. Get a Victory and the only time you'll look at a HD is when your either passing them on the highway or passing them while it's in the shop getting even more work done to keep it running...

I stumbled across this bike in a Harley Store and instantly I was taken by it. I had no idea what it was, but I liked it. The salesman approached me and said - Do you just want to write the check now? I laughed and and asked Why do say that? He told me it was because my jaw dropped open when I first saw the bike and it stayed there until he walked up. I thought it about that for a second and realized he was right! That only happened to me one other time that I know of and I am still dating the gorgeous lady that caused that almost five years ago. The bike is black with blue highlights, factory paint. Needless to say, I ended up buying the bike after researching Victory and this particular model for about a month. I didn't find any negatives online or elsewhere, so I couldn't justify NOT owning it. I am in my third season now and I still absolutely love the bike. It is so solid and balanced that it is pure pleasure to ride. The power is incredible and the handling is hard to believe with a bike this big. The sound is truly awesome too. Add all of this up and you have the most incredible riding experience you could ever imagine! The only thing I want to add is highway pegs so I can stretch my legs on long rides, and the Victory saddlebags for storage. I will never sell this bike, and if I ever buy another one, it will be a Victory too! I just laugh at my friends that spend twice the money on half the bike at the Harley dealer. Oh yeah, Victory is an American made bike, so the HD people can't shut their traps about the foreign bike nonsense! I am a proud, converted Victory man! Show less

I purchased my Vegas 8-Ball in March of '09 and I can honestly tell you, this bike is bad ass!! Sixteen hundred and thirty four cc's of pure power. This bike is not only a power house on the streets, it also has the looks most people like. Some people have even said the bike is sexy. When I found it I was actually looking at the blacked out V-Rod, but when I seen this on the showroom floor, it had all the upgrades and was ready to go, it was an easy decision! 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!

My 2009 black Jackpot is a joy to ride. Once I adjusted to the fat rear tire and the cornering feel, the machine is a great motorcycle. The seat could be a bit wider for the passenger. The engine (a little quiet on the street) and transmission (a little loud on a shift) are solid. The bike is well designed and assembled. Some chrome accessories add to the look, which gets compliments at every stop. Show less

The bike feels lighter, faster and easier to handle with a lower center of gravity, more power and better ergonomics than any of the competing models from Harley. Victory did their homework. They placed the pedals in between mid position (where they ought to be) and the end of the frame. Everyone who has sat on it has remarked about the comfort and fit. A great bike. Show less

Bought my baby after I retired from the Navy, brand new back in '03, the year Victory overhauled their bikes. Can't say enough about the quality of their workmanship. Just the usual tire/oil/brake pad changes. That engine just keeps running strong. Beautiful machine, I still get the thumbs up on the freeways and compliments where ever I go. I've never owned a more reliable bike. Very satisfied with my bike, would buy another Victory in a heartbeat! Show less

I have owned a bike from each manufacturer over my years of riding and none come close to the dependability, smoothness of ride and all around great looks of this machine. Polaris has hit the nail on the head with these bikes as everyone wants to know where to get one up here in Canada. They are starting to take off big time up here. I own a Harley Electra Glide also and am wanting to trade it in for a cross country this year. I am keeping my 2004 Vegas. Way to go Polaris they are simply Perfection. Show less
