Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some experience handling heavy, long, low-slung cruisers, as the big V-Twin torque and 21-inch front wheel geometry demand confident low-speed clutch and throttle control.
PurposeBuilt as a bold, styling-forward power cruiser for boulevard cruising and weekend showing off rather than for outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe very low 653mm seat height suits shorter riders and those wanting a feet-forward stance, but the nearly 296kg dry weight makes tight maneuvers and parking lot U-turns physically demanding.
CharacterA chest-thumping, chrome-laden cruiser with a big-bore 106ci V-Twin that delivers strong, lazy torque and a distinctive fat 250mm rear tyre look over outright agility.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting a nimble commuter, an off-road capable machine, or a bike focused on aggressive cornering performance.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 653mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Victory Vegas Jackpot, 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 (2)

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.
