Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some prior motorcycling experience who are comfortable managing a heavy, big-displacement V-twin at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt for confident boulevard cruising and weekend power cruiser fun rather than outright speed or long-distance touring comfort.
Rider FitA low seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the substantial dry weight demands decent upper body strength for maneuvering at a stop.
CharacterA bold, muscular power cruiser with a big torquey V-twin, aggressive styling, and a low-slung stance meant to be seen as much as ridden.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking off-road capability, sharp cornering agility, or a lightweight, nimble city commuter.

2013 Victory Judge Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 658mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Victory Judge, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.

⚠ Safety Recalls (1)

EQUIPMENT Sep 2012 · 12V457000

Polaris is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Victory motorcycles manufactured from January 3, 2012, through August 15, 2012. A torqueing procedure may have been missed on some throttle cable retention nuts. On certain motorcycles, the throttle cable retention nuts for either the pull or push throttle cable may have not been torqued correctly.

Risk: If the torqueing is missed and the retention nuts are loose, the retention nuts closest to the throttle body can become dislodged and interfere with the throttle function, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Victory will notify owners and dealers will correctly torque the fasteners free of charge. The safety recall began on October 4, 2012. Owners may contact Victory consumer service department by calling 1-888-704-5290.
