- Tune in as Tony goes over what it's like owning his (almost) 100,000 mile victory. Over the years his bike has seen it all. For The 3 Amigos our Victorys are the bikes that started the addiction and turned us into riders.

I agree. I bought my 2009 Vision in 2018 for $5,500 with about 23k miles on it. Outside of normal maintenance I've had ZERO problems so far. It's just a great bike.
They are amazing bikes!
We need to have a 3 amigos fan ride with the victory’s ! Let’s go !!
I'm on my second Victory. You've had alot of issues. Put the damn front fender back on and quit getting water up into the triple tree.
I bought my black on black 2015 Vision a few months ago. It has been completely flawless for thousands of miles. I love my Vision!
I’m sure it will be flawless for years to come!
I purchased my 03 V92C back in 06. Long story short, my oldest son now owns it. That bike has around 130,000 miles. Other than a fuel pump, coils and wires, thar engine/trans has had NOTHINGdone to it. I put most of the miles on it, and was absolutely relentless to it. It's been a great bike!!!
Cool that it stayed in the family!
@@3_AM agree! He always wanted that bike. It's cool to see him have it.
Nice video! Sorry to hear that you spent all that effort searching for a bad wheel bearing. My 08 vision has about 85k miles and runs like a top. Still goes to skills courses and track days with me. Parts are still available as needed but so far I've only ever needed wear parts and one clutch slave cylinder. 😎👍
I'd totally be on a victory right now if they didn't fold. Such awesome bikes
Glad bars are a good fit for you and not being wasted on my mower. Enjoy my amigo.
Thank you been riding it more this year. I’m really loving the bars. They are perfect.
Just bought my 3rd Victory (Vision 2011 8-Ball) over the past 13 years. I've literally had 2 problems between all 3, 1 clutch cable and 1 start switch. @ 66, I'ma ride this thing into the sunset and beyond. It's just that good...
Awesome to hear! Enjoy it!
I also agree, I bought a 2010 Victory Cross Country 3 weeks ago & hope to have ot in the wind by the end of the week. I rescued this old girl from a guy who let it set outside last winter, & our Ut. winter was a bad one. So I've been going over everything & making sure she's 100% before it hits the road. Paid $6000, with 34000 miles, so don't feel I got hurt!
You are going to love it, and all our experiences between all three of us owning victories they are bulletproof!
If victory was still in business, and had better aftermarket support, id 100% buy another. Left my judge sitting in a shed for a few years, new oil, sea foam, fresh gas and airfilter, and obviously a jump start, fired right up, shot out a few flames and some smoke but settled down very very quickly.
I used to have a Judge as well. I loved that bike!
Actually you have had a lot going on in those 100,000 miles. It is hard to let go when you love the bike! I know what you mean. I was sad when they quit making Victorys.
It was a sad day!
Awesome 👍
were you regularly maintaining your clutch cable ends? Im at over 100k miles on my Vics
Got 98,500 on that tan 13' that Schmitburger sold me. Runs like a top!
Awesome!
I remember meeting the guy who was certified the first to ride a Victory across the Country.
I just rode my 2012 Vision across Canada from coast to coast two weeks ago, two up and loaded with my wife. It was great!
101k miles on my 2012 cross roads. No engine issues, worn neck and wheel bearings thats it
You're making me feel guilty 😶 ... I got my XC to 80k miles, but after pulling the jugs to replace a blown base gasket, it developed another issue with the front injector, that left me stranded up in MA. I just didn't have it in me to crack that frame and dig in there again. So after 10years, 80k and whole lot of memories. I sold it to a Victory collector in Canada so it could continue to have a good life
Same here with my indian chieftain ltd 2018, 100t KM (not miles) though, opens the world and the most reliable bike.
Enjoy that Indian, Ride on!
I just purchased a 2014 Vision with 18,000 miles. In the beginning, the rear brake would go right to the floor. I looked at 5 bikes and they all did that. Bleeding the rear brake link circuit to the front calipers took care of that. One question…do you find that the front brakes are weak? I have several bikes that have much stronger front brakes (ST1300 and Concours 1400). Those bikes don’t weigh as much and do have linked brakes. Without the rear circuit, the fronts feel pretty weak. The discs are huge and twin piston calipers can have plenty of power.
I don’t feel that the front brakes on mine are weak and I do have over 90 K on my rotors and I am due to install new ones also, mine had the same problem a year ago with the rear brake pedal bleeding it fixed it
@@3_AM Perhaps it is because I come from a Kawasaki Concours with four piston radial calipers and master cylinder and linked brakes that weighs under 700 pounds. I have several other lighter bikes with good brakes. There is only so much that can be done to combat physics in the end. Without a slick surface, I doubt that I could lock the front wheel. If I somehow surprised myself, the ABS would come into play. Without the rear brake, the bike was quite scary to try to stop. With 18,000 miles, maybe it has glazed pads or they are just worn out. The lever is firm. I test rode two other Visions and the brakes on this one were very similar to those two. The brake pedal on the five that I looked at all went to the floor without any resistance. Fortunately, it isn't too difficult to bleed the front circuit and get it fixed.
100K MILES!!!! holy s#$% im stoked!!! my XC i just bought a few months ago just cracked 15000 KM!!! ya them Canadian Miles....
having clutch issues atm.... bought a Witch Docs upgrade billet plate and spring, still slips... using a very reputable wrench, cant wait to get it dialed in, and yes the stock clutch was slipping at 3k rpm or better when ON the gaz! and the high ball is just indestructible so far, cuz i beat on it like a red head step child!
Nice, enjoy those two Victorys.
And Ive only got 8K miles on mine ! haha ! Need some decent weather here for a change !
Fingers crossed!
100k on two engines, did you put any thought into this video?
I’m going to keep my two victories forever
I dont blame you!
Any idea why Victory was killed because by little research every😅ne says reliable bike. Just saw a 2016 Magnum with 50 000 km It oooked amazing in my opionion better loikingbthsn Indians and Harleys 😢
It seems the wanted to avoid the internal competition with owning Indian. Otherwise, as much as their owners love them, the numbers sold were relatively weak. There was a book published that covers the history of Victory and their demise. Thanks for watching !
I have 147,000 + miles on my 02 V-92
That’s impressive!
Maybe it's just me, but it sure sounds like he just rattled off a list of issues. 😅
Cool video. Wow. Forks, bearings...even a motor, etc? My CVO Electra with a 110 Screamin Eagle in it has over 100,000 miles on it and no such issues, and it's no tractor. The motor has never been opened. Oil, brakes, tires, belt, flush hydraulics, all normal maintenance. I did put a tranny in it, but that was my fault. I rode it for 6 months with a bad bearing and tore up the tranny. But it was still rideable even with the tranny all tore up. It has never been on a trailer, but it has a hydraulic clutch, so no cable to break. I'm sorry, but the bike does not have 100K on it if you put a new motor in it. And you had all that trouble getting the bike to track straight? So much frustration for four years that you haven't been riding it? And after all this you go on about the reliability? One of my best friends recently totaled his Street Glide with 340K on it, the motor had never been opened. Not kidding. How can you claim you will get "another" 100K out of it when you already replaced the motor? Just curious. They are great bikes, but your story is a little wonky regarding reliability and mileage. I am glad you like your bike.
There was nothing wrong with the engine that I replaced. I just wanted the fresh engine with the motor work done to it. My old engine will still go back in and run perfectly fine if I ever need it to.
Few issues with Harley and indain.
Dog shit old technology in the motor AKA Push rods.
Having to drain the oil and open the freaking primary every time you need to replace a drive belt yah that's bad engineering aka cash grab.
Also oil change in general freaking idiot tech.
What state are you in?
CT
15 XCT, 156,000 so far...
Nice, keep the miles rolling!
I bought a 2006 Kingpin brand new...I sold it in 2020 with 140K on it....
It’s a shame they dropped the victory line!
@@3_AM Yes it is....Thats why i dont reward Polaris by buying an Indian....I ride HD by default now...
