Buddy of mine bought a Victory Vegas Low last summer. Nice bike and really supprised me with the get up it had.
Would definatly be on the top of the list of cruisers... |

I liked the vegas apart from not having a tach and quiet exhaust. 1st gear tops out at 41-43 though, figured that much out. If I were more used to the v-twin and having to shift that often, it wouldn't be as big of a deal though.

The Victory engines are a beast. They put down nice numbers.

He had already put on an aftermarket exhaust when I rode it. As for the tach, nice to have, but I just listened to the engine for shift points. Never did hit the limiter, but I surely did exceed the speed limit!

I did hit the limiter when I first rode one and thought WTF but after realizing what I had done...it didn't happen anymore.
I had just gotten off of a TurboBusa after riding it for a couple of hours so it was quite a different experience. ![]() For a cruiser I did like the Victory though. |
