Victory Vision 8-Ball reviews

'It is the most comfortable ride! I could not believe how smooth and how well it handles. You will be surprised on how well balanced this bike is. It's an all-around keeper. Great looks, power, comfort, all in one. I'm very satisfied with this bike. Show less

I went for a test ride at the Victory dealership. The person who went out with me asked me what kind of ride I wanted. I said fast and lots of twists and I got exactly what I asked for. I love the bike, it's very comfortable, light and easy to manuever and is powerful. The Victory Vision 8 Ball is a very nice ride. Overall I give it a 10. Now to sell the Harley. Show less

I recently purchased the 2011 Vision 8-Ball this summer. I love it, it's very comfortable and has plenty of power. It's a nice looking bike and get lots of positive comments on it. The only negative I have heard is from folks that ride that other American-made bike. This is my fourth bike, and by far the best bike I have owned. I went to a demo days here in Minnesota, and I couldn't wait to get rid of my Road Star for this bike. I recommend that you take a Victory for a spin. I will never go back to metric. Show less

This is my fifth Victory and I must say it is the best one yet! I have been test riding the Vision at every opportunity since it came out in 2008. I could never get past some of its looks but the 8-ball took care of all that. Once you get on this thing, you will not want to get off. It is comfortable and handles like a dream. It leaves everyone in the dust on the Blue Ridge twistys. Show less

I traded in my 07 Hammer S. so that I could get a bike with storage capacity. My list included Harley's Road Glide Ultra, Honda's Goldwing and the Victory Vision. After riding all three, I stayed with Victory. The handling and power are better than Harley, the reliablility is equal to the Wing and the styling is like no other bike on the road. The only complaint I have about Victory is the incessant whine of the primary and gearbox. It isn't noticeable at highway speed, but cruising through town it really is annoying. That being said, I love the way it handles. It cruises the mountains of West Virginia like a sport tourer, it never fails to start in the morning and never fails to start a conversation at every stop. Show less

I traded in a Kingpin for the Vision 8-ball, in large measure because of the "ergos"--the low center of gravity and great handling. I liked the Kingpin but needed a little more bike. I also have a Goldwing and two other bikes, so I have lots to compare. The Vision is not a perfect bike--its engine is still no match for the Goldwing in terms of smooth power. The screen buzzes some after they put on the HID light, which should be fixable. But having just ridden the GW a good deal, overall I like it better because it handles so well and I am in, instead of high up on the bike. Storage is so-so but wind protection is superb and it is the best handling bike I have ever owned. I am much less likely to dump this bike, especially two up. In three weeks, I put 1,000 miles on it, which tells you what I think. Overall, a great value in a superb American motorcycle. Show less

I just finished riding 2000 miles thru Colorado! There are lots of turns and long straits just to get there. The bike handled way better than I was expecting thru the turns and at very high elevations. It had unbelievable performance thru the mountains. Show less
