2013 Victory Judge Features and Benefits

A NEW CRUISER EXPERIENCE
Victory reinvented the cruiser riding experience with the premium ride and performance of the Vegas. Now Victory again introduces a high new level of cruiser excitement with the stylish, sport-influenced Victory Judge.

MID MOUNTED CONTROLS
The mid mounted controls put the driver in an active, engaged riding position. The rider is confidently in total command of the bike, and the ergonomics ensure long-riding leg comfort for riders on the open road.

ALL-NEW VICTORY STYLING
Only Victory offers such distinctive cruiser styling. The Victory Judge is a powerful rolling sculpture showcasing fresh bodywork, blacked-out features, new drag handlebars, a new headlight nacelle and side panels an owner can customize. The Victory ignition cover between the cylinders also features a great new look.

AMERICAN CRUISER STYLE
The Victory Judge combines modern high-performance technology with American styling cues of the 1960s muscle car era, such as cast 5-spoke wheels. The 16" wheels are shod with premium Dunlop Elite II tires with raised white lettering, the perfect look on this cruiser.

CONFIDENCE-INSPIRING RIDE & HANDLING
Beautifully balanced and engineered with a low center of gravity, the Victory Judge is a full-sized cruiser with sporty & performance-oriented handling that instills confidence and delivers an incredibly smooth ride.

...and here we go, also the very first 2013 motorcycle model as well!

[madjak30]

Nice bike...but it isn't a big enough step away from existing models to warrant an awesome vote...

Voted: Cool

It's a Vegas with 16" front rubber and realistic sized rear...should be a nice ride, but I still like the Crossroads!!

I Voted: Awesome

Why? Because Victory needed a "Standard" bike, something with normal controls and a sport"ie" look to it. I really like the "60's muscle car look" of the rims (ya, baby!) and the idea of something other than cruiser (although, it is still a standard cruiser umm I guess). And the red, matte orange and black colors are awesome too.

Now, my wishes would have been:

- Should have been priced under $10k
- Should have used the old 2004 92 cubic inch Freedom V-twin or 2007 100 cubic inch engine to keep costs under $10k
- Should have been lighter (or smaller engined) to make it a "sportster" or attact new riders to the brand...

This is the 92 engine on this 2004:

Victory not only stole the name from Pontiac but the paint as well.

I'm not sure about the looks, thinking that they should have went with 17" wheels to allow for better looks and sportier rubber choices. And I'm not sure if reviving an older, smaller engine would have been lighter or any cheaper. I'd love to take one for a ride and find out if it is any more agile than the average cruiser

[ceemes]

No vote from me.....neither cool or uncool, sort of falls in between the middle of those two options IMHO....just another muscle cruiser in an already saturated market.

[madjak30]

Here's something to help...

Good official Victory video, shows the bike size and colors as well as "suggested riding" style. The bke is a little bit bigger than I thought originally it was, which would explain the 667lb wet weight.

I voted fail, I didn't like the looks of the bike and thought small things like that oval side cover was just nasty to look at.
