2008 Victory Vegas Jackpot First Impressions

8-18-2008

by Pascal Bastien , Auto123.com

Modern and high-revving
Just like Hammer and Kingpin models, the 2008 Victory Vegas Jackpot boasts the company's famous 1,634-cc V-twin. Using an air/oil cooling system, this engine is much more powerful than most competitors thanks to an ultra-modern design. Engineers incorporated an electronic fuel injection system and a single overhead camshaft with 4 valves per cylinder. Similar to any existing V-twin, the Freedom powerplant delivers plenty of low- and mid-range torque. But the thing that separates it from the competition is power at higher RPMs. Simply put, this mill loves to rev -- something you normally associate with liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engines.

With the 2008 Vegas Jackpot, Victory sets the bar even higher. Comfort is quite commendable for such a boldly styled two-wheeler. Attention to detail is remarkable in every respect, while motoring quality puts a big smile on your face as soon as you push the engine start button. The Jackpot is one of the best-designed cruisers in the entire industry and, of all the motorcycles produced by this styling guru, it's definitely our favorite.
