Performance Profile & Rider Fit
Best For
Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to experienced riders comfortable managing a very heavy, long-wheelbase machine at low speeds and in parking maneuvers. |
| Purpose | Built for effortless long-distance highway touring with a passenger and luggage rather than sporty riding. |
| Rider Fit | Requires reasonable strength and confidence to hold up and maneuver its substantial weight, though the low seat height helps shorter riders get feet down. |
| Character | A big-torque cruiser-tourer that rewards a relaxed, smooth riding style with plush comfort and strong straight-line stability. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable city bike. |

⚠ Safety Recalls (1)
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.
