If there were more details centers this brand would survive. I'm over 1 hour and 20 mins to the closest dealer. I pass at least three HD places to get mine factory serviced

Sad day for Victory fans. To Polaris executives, thank you for keeping Victory alive as long as you could. As a result of this I will not be purchasing an Indian. Your company simply does not have an interest in the sport of motorcycling but rather an appetite for profit and cannot be relied upon to support what you sell long term. You also have no interest in building a following and would rather purchase heritage. It's disingenuous, at best. Good luck in your future endeavors.

I can say that my Victory Jackpot is the best bike in my current lot and my favorite, of all the bikes I have owned. What are you thinking Polaris? Don't the Victory bikes have the highest approval rating of production bikes on the market. So you turn your back on Victory to promote Indian and the slingshot. I am not angry, just shocked. Whoever is running the show at Polaris should be fired immediately. Honestly, who would plunk down 20-30k on Polaris product now with the bean counters in charge. The Indian bikes are big and heavy and the only thing that makes the slingshot a motorcycle is you have to have a mc license to drive one. RIP Victory and as for Polaris you deserve the slow painful death you will be receiving in the open market.

I just bought a Victory XCT. I can't believe this. The bike is great and I have a owned a lot of different bikes from Harley to Goldwing and this is the best I have ridden. Please keep it alive!

PLEASE don't stop making Victory Motorcycles! They are simply amazing bikes. Outstanding styling, reliability, and comfort. I ride a CCT and was thinking of purchasing another Vic, one of the cruisers. I feel like the rug was pulled out from under us. Victory had a lot of momentum going -- please don't stop that momentum!!

I bought a 2008 Vision, love the hell out of it!!! Wanted to Buy a new one soon, One of the best motorcycles I have ever owned. Polaris's loyalty to the brand is horrible, making me rethink buying another one of their products!

The first time I rode a Victory I knew I wanted to own one and was lucky enough to make that a reality in 2013. I have never been interested in riding another bike and other than taking an Indian out for a test ride (I personally didn't care for it) I haven't even considered another brand. Hoping someone will try to keep Victory going, even if it's not Polaris.

You folks at Polaris are making a huge mistake. My Victory is one of the finest machines I have had the luck to own.
I have owned every major brand and Victory is mechanically superior to most, right up there with BMW .

Why would anyone put this much R&D into perfecting a bike, Making Harley finally have to make changes to compete was great. Indian is nice to but not for everyone. Just because they are the new bike on the block, they may not stay as popular and in the long run who knows where the stock will settle. Not to mention if you marketing the Victory as you do the Indians when I walk into a dealership, they would probably sell just about as well if not the same. I ride both, not a hater of either, but the Vic just seems to offer a more forward thinking design.

I rode HD all my life till I was nearly 50. I test rode an 01 Vic, bought it and haven't looked back. I'm on my fourth one. Victory is a superior motorcycle. Don't kill a good thing.

I been riding for 25 years. Best all around touring bike I've ever rode or owned. Coming from a slew of Harleys...I fell for the if you ride one you'll buy one. If you put as much life and effort into the Victory Brand as you had the Indian the past few years you wouldn't be here. RIP the best cruiser/baggers out there. I personally would have stuck to a two bike Indian line, and a three or 4 bike victory line. Anyways...Here is to owning my 2011 XR for years to come. Just not sold on the looks or performance of the indian.

Victory is what brought me back to motorcycles because of such a well built bike.

It's a shame the Victory Motorcycles weren't advertised like the Indian is - can't for the life of me figure out why they'd drop the outstanding Victory's yet sell the slingshot and the butt ugly Indian. Just as the Victory line was taking off - loads of HD clients making the switch. Even a lot of Police departments were switching over. HD be having a good laugh I bet - the Victory was the only bike that exceeds that brand on almost every level. Sure hope they wake up soon and bring em back
Don't do it!
Keep Victory Alive!
