SF Bay Area | With normal maintenance and good oil, you will likely see 150-200k miles, or more if the motor is left stock and you change the oil according to the factory schedule. We have had one Victory owner go over 200k, running Amsoil. The bikes are solid, well engineered motorcycles. |

Peachtree City, GA | Should be fine as long as it was maintained... It would be a good argument to use to get the dealer to come down on the price. |

B'ham, Al. | Hech, that's just 4k a year. 25k is nothing for a 4= yr old bike. If it looks good, runs good, and the price is right, I'd jump on it. That is if you like the bike!

New Bohemia, Va | I thought you said it was high mileage, 06, 25,000 miles, 5,000 a year, yeah is was rode, but not high mileage in my mind. My Vision has 87,000 miles after 3 1/2 years and it is still a strong bike. I would haggle the price down as low as he will go, and mileage would be a good haggle point. |

NE Florida Jacksonville | Your kidding right? This isn't a Harley, you find all the parts still attached. My 2002 had over 50,000 when I sold it and it ran just fine. |

| My '99 had almost 50,000 on it when I traded it on my Vision.
It still ran like a new one and if Victory had not come out with the Vision, I would still be riding it.
If you maintain these bikes, they are bullet proof! Go for it, if you are comdfortable with the cost! |

| I think the owners manual recommends the drive belt be replaced around 30K. You might want to have that negotiated into your purchase deal with the dealer just to have that out of the way but other than that just tires, oil changes and brakes is all you should need to worry about for some time.

Green Bay, WI United States | Buy it and let"s rock... Make a deal that if you don't like it you can return it. My bet is you will be impressed and need to work more on keeping your butt planted on this model than with dealer issues. This bike is a Hot Rod. Just sayin...... |

Cabot Arkansas | I bought a Jackpot in 2006 that listed for over $20K. I spent about $5K on upgrades through the years .I traded with 39K miles on it last July and got right at $11K trade in.If the bike you are looking at is in good shape that sounds like a good price to me.By the way I RAN THE HELL out of the Jackpot and only had to replace the clutch cable and tires  |
