When Victory Motorcycles first came onto the scene, it led with the V92C, which began selling in 1998. As the first-ever model produced by Victory Motorcycles, it’s cherished as a piece of American history. At the time, it was powered by the biggest and baddest V-twin engine on the market, a 1507cc air-cooled engine capable of pumping out 65 horsepower.
Per Rider Magazine, “The engine doesn’t look like a Vulcan engine, and it doesn’t look like a Harley engine. It looks like a Victory engine.”
Riders touted its excellent torque and smooth handling, a testament to how well it was built, considering it weighed a whopping 600 pounds. The motorcycle only got better with time, as many claim the 2002-2003 models saw both engine and chassis improvements.
The motorcycle has a really old-school look, with mudguards, wide handlebars, and comfy seat. The bike also has large oil jackets and a front-mounted oil cooler for improved fuel efficiency. At one point, the V92C was considered the best cruiser on the market, and it was a real head-turner.
