The Appeal
Victory Motorcycles, Polaris's ambitious American cruiser brand, ceased production in 2017, making every surviving example increasingly difficult to find. The Cross Roads, powered by a 1,737cc Freedom V-twin, offered a distinctive alternative to the established cruiser marques, combining muscular touring capability with a notably low centre of gravity that set it apart from heavier rivals.
This 2013 example has been in the hands of its current keeper since 2015, purchased second-hand from the Victory dealership in Lyon. The owner, a qualified mechanic, has carried out all servicing himself and reports the service record is up to date. The vendor states the motorcycle is original throughout and describes it as running like clockwork. For those seeking a capable, comfortable, and increasingly collectable American touring cruiser, this Victory Cross Roads merits serious consideration.
