Best for: Built for confident boulevard cruising and weekend power cruiser fun rather than outright speed or long-distance touring comfort.
Built for: A 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 for: Not a good fit for riders seeking off-road capability, sharp cornering agility, or a lightweight, nimble city commuter.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.

Safety Recalls

⚠ 1 recall may apply

EQUIPMENTSep 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.

These recalls cover some 2013 bikes of this model. Whether one applies to a specific bike, and whether the repair has already been done, depends on its VIN — check your VIN with NHTSA or ask a dealer.
