Al Unser, Jr. rode the first V92C into Planet Hollywood
at the Mall of America to debut the new motorcycle
line.
Full-scale production of Victory motorcycles began
in July of 1998.
The first model produced by Victory was the V92C,
which was named "Best Cruiser" by Cycle World magazine
before it was even
available to the consumer.

Petty Charity Ride Across America. As a major sponsor
for the past five years, Victory has helped raise
more than $2 million for children's hospitals and
the Victory Junction Gang Camps.
