This video turned me on to Victory ... bought a Vegas 8Ball in March of '13, put some saddlebags on her and rode from NY to Chicago, back along the Trans Canadian highway ... absolutely love this bike.
Just sitting on a Victory is amazing. From what I heard from others who test road them, they're monstrous and unmatched. Wouldn't mind having one of my own.
Nice video! I got to ride both of these last year at a demo day. The Victory is a far superiour machine, in my humble opinion. The Indian just felt like an over-priced bucket of bolts after riding the Victory.
I've owned several bikes over the years, and my pre-Polaris, 2009 Indian Chief Vintage has become my most favorite motorcycle that I have ever owned. Although I personally feel that BMW currently makes the very best motorcycles available, and I don't have one, I often times enjoy just looking at my Chief whenever I'm unable to ride, I've got back problems that might require I part ways with my two-wheeled love affair...... We shall see, and I hope to ride well into my 70's........
Darn, I have subscriptions to three motorcycle magazines and I STILL see precious few road tests on Victory motorcycles. At $12,499, the 8-Ball appears to be the least expensive way to upgrade from my metric cruiser (not the one in my thumbnail pic). I'm concerned about that skinny front tire. Okay, you say it has good straight line stability. How stable is it in a fast turn? Does it push to the outside easy or does it grip? I push mine like sport bike sometimes. Should I save up for the Hammer?

These guys give the best reviews on the net, no matter what the bike. No bullshit, no sales pitch just an honest opinion.
Nice work on the video! We here at Viking Bags really appreciate your content! Keep up the good work!

What you ride is what you ride... Like he said if it makes you feel like a million bucks when you ride it, "Isn't that what cruising is all about?".
please do more Cruiser based bikes. and your reviews are awesome :)
the 8 ball has tons of power.. really great ride..!!
Got a Victory. Bought it 2010. Reliable but incredible slow and boring.
It's ok, I am 67 now😂

How about a full colour lcd display for chrissakes. Even the cheapest hand phone has a colour display.
Like that Indian!👍
Try the Victory cross country :)
Love m Vegas
but until the 2014 indians come out none of them have been designed by victory.
polaris* not victory
This Channel is the shit. Just sayin.
