2008 Victory Vegas Jackpot on 2040-motos

The queen of the Vegas lineup is aptly named. Jackpot is exactly what potential buyers think they have found when seeing this motorcycle for the first time in a Victory showroom. 

The Vegas Jackpot is a custom cruiser offering the same quality and reliability as a production bike. The American brand made no compromises when designing this magnificent beast.

Stylish steed
The 250-millimeter rear tire and long-stretching front fork give the Jackpot a striking look. The custom paint, one-piece leather seat and one-tone frame leave no one indifferent. Hands down, the Jackpot wins the styling award over every other model from this custom bike specialist. 

As comfortable as one could wish 
While the Vegas Jackpot is first and foremost about style (engineers sacrificed one inch of travel in favor of a low-profile look), the comfort level is surprising. In fact, it's just as comfortable as the regular Vegas thanks to clever shock and spring settings. Throughout my road test, the suspension never bottomed out, even on some of the bumpiest roads you will ever find. True, the Jackpot is not particularly sharp and precise when entering corners due to the considerable width difference between the front and rear tire, but the frame is extremely well designed and somewhat makes up for it. Consequently, rider safety is not affected. 

Victory has become a master at designing excellent seats and the Vegas Jackpot is no exception. The shape and padding are exemplary, which is great for long-distance rides. Ergonomics are another strength of this bike. The controls are conveniently laid out and easy to manipulate. There's plenty of room for the rider and, incidentally, the riding position is one of the segment's best.
