Victory Motorcycle - The Core

Part of our mission statement here at "Riders Update" is to expose you, the reader, to as wide a motorcycling universe as possible.  That scope spans as many brands, applications, people, and purposes as we can achieve.

This edition looks at one of the leading American made brands, Victory.  21st century engineering coupled with classic styling, Victory continues to refine is place in the market with cruisers that defy categorizing.

 

Victory Motorcycles is based in Spirit Lake, Iowa, and began production of its vehicles in 1998.

 

Its parent company, Polaris Industries, created the firm following the modern success of Harley-Davidson. Victory's motorcycles are designed to compete directly with Harley-Davidson and similar American-style motorcycle brands, with V-twin engines and touring, sport-touring, and cruiser configurations.

The first Victory, the V92C, was announced in 1997 and began selling in 1998. Victory has been modestly profitable since 2002.
