The History of Victory

View Victory Model Histories | Discuss in our Victory Forum | Back to History Overview

In 1995 Victory was setup by the American All Terrain Vehicle giant and snow mobile expert Polaris. So in essence Victory isn’t a motorcycle brand by heart but more a sub division of Polaris specialized in motorcycles

The first model was a v-twin cruiser with about 1500cc of power. It launched in 1998 and was called the V92C. It wasn’t a success and to say it lightly a specialist was need to boost things up a little.

Legendary Harley designer Arlen Ness was brought in to help design the new model called the Vegas. Which indeed has a typical Arlan Ness touch. The launch in 2003 was a success due to the much improved styling compared to the V92C Victory model. Also the V-twin engine had been refined which made the Vegas more pleasant to ride.
