Victory=Polaris
Polaris= POS
Every thing I've ever owned or had to deal with that says "polaris" on it has been nothing but trouble. Sleds are home to some of the worst engineering I've ever seen. They work well enough when they're running, but they break down constantly, and are an absolute nightmare to work on, particularly the newer 4 strokes. One of my friends has a 07 Sportsman 800 quad, and it spend more time in the shop than not last summer. It busted the front driveshaft going through a puddle my 25 year old Suzuki 230 2wd made it though no problem. Then the main computer crapped out. That got fixed, then the gauge cluster died about a week later. Then the motor got some weird misfire and ran like ****. The thing doesn't even have 50 hours on it.
Victor's 100c.i engine is barely pushing out 75hp....snore. Considering the monstrously large, heavy bikes they go into(around 700lbs for the solo cruisers), talk about a slug. Also heard lots of bad things about their transmissions, that they're almost as bad as HD ones for harsh shifting, lots of gear slop, and overall poor reliability.

I've always thought from far the Victory bikes were nice looking but when you get up close theyre a big hunk of plastic. I guess everything has a lot of plastic on it these days but the victory bikes just seem cheesey to me.
