Victory Police Motorcycles Testimonials…
Initially my third day on the bike has been nothing short of cooler then cool. I can’t tell you how many
people are stopping me and asking about the bike. Thanks a ton. Initially my third day on the bike
has been nothing short of cooler then cool. I can’t tell you how many people are stopping me and
asking about the bike. Most of them say, “Hey that’s a Victory.” So that tells me most of them know
what a cool bike it is from the get go. Tim and I were riding next to each other today and while we
were stopped at a red light he had a lady on his right asking about the bike and I had a guy on
the left asking me. What a ball this has been already. GO VICTORY!! See you in five years when
I can join the team.

Victory Police Motorcycles are the “Ergonomics King” In the Police
Motorcycle world resulting in reduced Officer fatigue, providing
great back support and most importantly may extend an officers
career due to the comfort and ergonomic layout of this Great New
American Motorcycle. The Commander I, based on the awardwinning* Victory Cross Country® platform, provides the ultimate
performance and reliability in a fairing configuration.
*Cruiser Magazine, 2010 Cruiser of the Year
I thought I’d drop you a quick note and tell you how the bikes are holding up so far. I guess I can
best do this with a story. I was out and about today and was asked about the Victory. This happens
quite a bit. He asked how they compare to the Harley-Davidsons we had. This is a common question.
But this time, instead of saying that our Victory bikes are superior to the Road Kings in almost every
category (from performance to dependability and officer safety) I just told him that when it came time
to buy my own bike with my own money, the choice was easy…Victory all the way! I could see the
recognition in his eyes as he slowly nodded his head and thought about that.
The bikes, indeed, are doing great! They’re holding up nicely to the torture we’re putting them
through…and I have no reason to doubt they’ll continue to serve well. It’s always nerve-wracking
when you make a big, multi-bike purchase of a new-to-us brand; but when you have a great product,
backed by an equally great warranty, and see the bikes staying strong over time, well that just makes
you happy you made your choice and confident in it going forward (literally and figuratively).

Wanted to drop you guys a line since it’s been about 4 months since we took delivery of our
Commander 1’s and needless to say that I love this bike would be an understatement! I have approximately 5000km on the bike now and have nothing but praise for the product you guys
are producing! We have had an amazing summer with temps running in 80-90’s almost every day
and now that the fall weather is upon us the bike is comfortable also. The Victory Vision Police Motorcycle was launched at the request
of our customers that cover large geographical areas requiring
both officer comfort and built in protection from the elements.
With its electronically adjustable windshield, heated seat and
grips and lower air deflectors an Officer can adjust the Vision
on the fly to fit the riding conditions of the moment. With our
integrated tip over protection the Vision also provides officer
protection as well as protection for the motorcycle. The
protection from the elements on this full fixed fairing motorcycle
is simply unmatched in the law enforcement industry especially
for those departments covering large areas with minimal
coverage for protection.
I have had some close calls with cars pulling out in front of me but the training we received from
Kenny and Jay in Tucson in May has proven invaluable, to the point of saving me from some injuries,
if not death.
The training also got us used to the “fame” that comes with riding Victory’s. I am still blown away by
how many people come up to us and comment and literally stare at the bikes and the conversation
always turns into a sales pitch for Victory!
Keep up the great work and I can’t wait to purchase my own Victory one day!!!!

About Victory Police Motorcycles…
As former motor officers, instructors and developers of
the Victory Police Motorcycles, we had spent years on
the Kawasaki KZ1000 and on the Harley Davidson
Electra Glide. We were so impressed by the efforts
of Victory Police Motorcycles and what they were
developing I came on board with Nita Buckner and
Mike Schultz, owner of Arizona Victory, and Victory
Police Motorcycles has taken off. Victory Police Motorcycles has spent the past four
years dedicated to developing the best of the best.
We gathered and analyzed thousands of survey results
and combined those notes with years of hard work
and experience to create the Commander series Police
Motorcycle. It is the absolute Best Police Motorcycle on
the market and best of all, it is American made!.
Both models come standard with largest in class 106
cubic inch V Twin producing an industry leading 97
horsepower (4500 rpm) and best 119 ft./lbs. of torque
(3200 rpm). Coupled with a 6 speed, true overdrive
constant mesh transmission, right hand drive with
carbon fiber reinforced drive belt. We stand alone at
the front of the pack.
Victory Police Motorcycles provides a complete
turn-key solution (bike is delivered with lights, siren,
radio, crash bars, etc.) and is ready for duty on
day of delivery. We have two production bikes,
the Commander I is a fairing bike, and Commander
II is a windshield bike.
The Victory Police Motorcycle was years in the making
with tremendous input from the Law Enforcement
Community and for that we are grateful. Victory Police
Motorcycles began in 2007 by Nita Buckner with the
help of current and Retired Tucson Motor Officer’s and
the assistance of Polaris and their contribution.
and his gang simply mounted the Victory’s and rode
them home, proving Victory’s trademark of rugged
reliability. The Tucson Officers, Nita and Mike again
discussed the idea of a Victory Police Motorcycle and
started to look at the various models Victory had to
offer.
These Motor Officers have a combined 60 years of
Motor Officer experience not only as Motor Officers
but two of them were also instructors for the Tucson
Police Department. After countless hours of testing
and track time, both Kenny Vaughan and Bobby
Garcia instantly became enamored with the handling,
performance and reliability of this great American
Motorcycle. Officers approached Mike Schultz and
inquired as to why Victory had never offered a Police
Motorcycle. They talked about the possibility and its
design but did nothing more at the time than dream of
the ultimate Police Motorcycle.
That same year, Tucson Police Department purchased
their fleet of Harley Davidson Motorcycles and quickly
started to discover flaws in the motorcycle that were
occurring as a result of the aggressive riding nature
of the Motor Officer and some model changes of the
Harley. The Officers realized that these limitations were
interfering with the way they conducted their everyday
assignments and caused concern among them. Nita,
several TPD Officers and Mike got together again and
committed their time and money into building a Police
Motorcycle. Nita’s goal was to build a motorcycle
that was fast, dependable and agile, which made the
officer forget about the negative side of the job. Mike
as usual took the idea as another great challenge to be
conquered and offered his assistance.
Early in 2007, the Tucson Law Enforcement Cycle Fest
and Swap meet was held in downtown Tucson. TPD set
up the Police Motorcycle riding course, so the public
could watch the riding skills of Tucson’s finest. Mike
offered up four New Victory’s for the officers to ride
against the Kawasaki 1000’s and Harley Davidson
Electra Glide, and the Officers were impressed as to
how maneuverable the bikes were through the course.
What impressed them most was that after almost seven
hours of non- stop riding through the course, Mike
In late 2007, Mike contacted Victory and inquired
as to the possibility of entering the Police Motorcycle
business with the Victory Kingpin motorcycle. Victory
promptly provided Arizona Victory with a new Victory
Kingpin in which to convert for Police use.

Ergonomics Comparison
Victory paid very close attention to the human
ergonomics in developing its motorcycles
focusing on rider comfort and safety as key
benchmarks in its design. Note the seat positions,
riding posture, leg position and arm stretch/
position as it equates to rider comfort, which
should translate into extended careers, officer
safety, and most importantly less fatigue at the
end of a shift. All controls are ergonomically
positioned. The simplicity in police controls were
a major focus in development.
