    Default Victory Motorcycles- No more

    Yup, that's right. They will pull the plug in 18 months. Stupid of them to announce it this soon. Dealers will have a hard time getting rid of what they have on hand. They state they will still provide support for another 10 years. Glad I got out of Victory years ago. I saw the writing on the wall way before this. Indian must really be taking off for them to dump the Vic line. And so much for resale value if you own one. Tom
    Baloo is my name. Spyders are my game. Well, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, yes, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, I mean a doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee-dee-doo. And, well, now. Ha ha! What have we here?

    They sold out...tried to go after the Harley crowd with the Indian. Victoria was a superior bike Imho. Too bad.

    Not surprising. The Indian is so good that it killed off the "other" competitor (Victory). Polaris is big enough to cover its Victory customers, and I believe its going to be a "buyers" market. You can get quality "big iron" and the prices will be very good. The statement about covering its previous customers is one you can have faith in.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Out here, the CAI figures show that Victory sales for the first half 2016 were half that of first half 2015 (100/200) and Indian sales increased minimally (295/292), Tom. I was looking at two wheels for shorter trips, so now might be the time to buy that Victory Magnum I've always wanted. The Vision was the best bike I ever owned. Unfortunately, selling non performing assets is simply part of any successful business.
