- We go all American for this and the next two uploads. After three superbikes in recent weeks, we thought it time to look at horsepower in a different form; the lazy v-twin and where better to go for that than America! First up is the Victory Gunner.
I know little to nothing about bikes, but my dad has worked in the Polaris plant for almost 20 years and assisted on the Victory Line. I always thought the Gunner looked pretty cool!
As an american I got anxiety seeing him drive into the left lane XD
+Arik Haydn Me too!!!
Americans drive on the right side of the road. The British drive on the correct side of the road.
Especially with the on coming traffic
How did you guys convince Frank Zappa to do this review?
Please, come back Victory!
Great video! We here at VikingBags really appreciate your content!
That was hilarious! And the Victory is nice, too.
That hand pump espresso maker was hilarious. Try an AeroPress guys. It's much less expensive, simpler to use and makes a great espresso.
lol it's an outdated intro?
I liked it...
"Dun dun dun! Dun dun dun! Brr brr"
By the way Polaris is really putting dollars into their motorcycle line. They recently bought into Brammo and put out the fully electric as part of the Victory line, this can (hopefully) only push Harley Davidson to be be even more competative which means we the consumer will benefit. Ride safe.
Gunner or Judge? Gunner solo seat and nice OD green are cool BUT Judge has passenger seat and LED blinkers.
Opinions? Which is best pick? Apart from rims and tail light aesthetic...
Nice review!! by the way, what helmet are you wearing?? thanks
Part two way funny. Coffee fail! Being from Washington State (U.S.) Coffee is our thing and you failed hard, just stop at a coffee shop that looks like a lot of work for very little coffee. Bike yes, coffee press NO!
this was one of the best episodes.2.part hillariously funny
Ace review guys!! Question, how did you find the foot pegs going round bends? Any better/worse than bikes of similar stature?
***** They're exactly the same as all bikes in this class, unfortunately, so you'll have to save the knee down for the sport bikes!
why music? let's hear the bike
2:35 I was like, 'oh, crap, he's pulled out onto the wrong side of the road!' :) nice review BTW, but looks like the foot pegs aren't forward enough for taller riders, bummer
+Ed Thöne . Yeah, the pegs are a bit short for a 6"+ rider. Victory offers two different options for forward controls; a 2 inch (which puts the pegs in the same position as the older Vics) and another set that extends the stock set-up by 4 inches, which lets me stretch my 36" inseam out quite a bit.
RoadHunter72 nice!
+Ed Thöne I thought that too. I was so intensely looking at the bike that I didn't notice where he was riding for the first few seconds.
"Somuch time when i will see"
What kind of helmet are you wearing?
Victory bikes are nice but to be honest the HD is nicer, much better fit and finish on the HD, thats why I bought the Harley. For those that want a similar bike........they buy the cheaper Victory, and by cheaper I mean cheaper price and cheaper quality. Still with all that being said, the Victory and Indian is a good alternative to the Harley Davidson. Enjoyed your reviews again, thanks and hello from Canada, cheers!
According to consumer reports Indian and Victory have more major issues than Harley, like brakes and transmission issues which Harley does not have, still good bikes though. HD outsels all other cruisers combined as per financial reports.Check out the scout copy put out by Victory, the Octane. Ride safe.
I see they are about 16k Can here and 22K once they get to you guys! are you in Johannesburg? is it true that riding an expensive bike like that makes you a real target?
Kingsoupturbo No, not really. On a bike you can always get away much quicker than in a car!
Guys, I really enjoy your show but you need to do something about the opening titles and music, seems like something out of the 80s! Hope you don't mind some constructive criticism. All the best.
ray dollars Constructive criticism we always welcome. We know that the title sequence and music is not the best but we feel we'd rather spend the budget on the content of the show. But it's definitely on the to-do list.
The Bike Show Guys I think the show is great. Just an update on the intro and you'll be kicking ass.
I like both bikes quite a bit, I just don't believe in the competition that people see between them
Borat is here?
2 intros?
Harley Davidson and Victory that is
The early ground contact in the curve does not go at all. I know someone the hats thrown out of the curve and the machine is the slope down. Was ne HD. This can cost you a lifetime. For manufacturers, there is no problem to construct otherwise, there are examples.
what country is this from??????
I think South Africa
I blows my mind that Victory never made a proper chopper.
The dude looks unnervingly like Frank Zappa.
what is a round
South African Rand?
How many cc?
1700 and change
I like cheese :)
That American accent needs work.
I like your video but you need to stop riding on the wrong side of the road. You will cause an accident
das ist Deutsch du penner
it's a German bike ...
+Julian google
What were you smoking? Victory bikes were designed in Minnesota, and built in Iowa.
