I got it late this afternoon and have ridden about 50 miles so far. My goal is to need the 500 mile service by the time the dealer opens back up after Memorial Day.
This is my first Victory and my first cruiser, so I don't have much to compare it to. However, I'm really amazed at the handling. It is very nimble and maneuvers easily. I also really dig the torque. It puts grin on my face that can be seen for miles. And lastly the looks... it's just bada$$. I personally wouldn't call it a "bobber" like the ads do but it does have that aggressive, don't give an eff look that I was goin' for.
The only downsides that I can tell right now are that the exhaust sound anemic (it will soon be replaced with an RPW Thor), and the transmission is loud and clunky (but spot on and never slips). Other than that it's perfect.
Finally seen one today. Looks great. A fat wheel Vegas my dealer calls it. They got it yesterday and out the door on Saturday it goes if that buyer doesn't see that Hammer 8 ball in there 1st.
The red seat looks sweet on the Gunner! Great looking bikes fellas, just waiting for someone to mount up some drag bars on one and maybe a hammer/Kingpin front fork and I'd be sold!
All the steel framed bikes are basically a Vegas. The hammer is the most unique because of the inverted front end. The jackpot is a Vegas with a 250 back tire. But the only differences between the rest of the line is wheels, tires, and handlebars.
Yes,looking at it now its a Vegas with different wheels and colour scheme,one with black shotgun pipes would look very nice in my garage but they are not available in UK unfortunately.
