Introduction
92-hp fuel injected V-twin engine
Victory isn’t short of massive V-Twin engines to power their custom creations so for the 2010 Jackpot and Cory Ness Jackpot they went for the same 106 ci / 1,731 cc, 4-stroke 50 V-Twin engine called Freedom and also used on their Hammer muscle bikes. On the Jackpots, this engine is tuned to smoothly deliver 92 horsepower and 109 ft-lbs of torque and mates to the same six-speed overdrive transmission. The electronic fuel injection with dual 45mm throttle bodies is meant to keep things lively at all times and provide the needed throb when surpassing out on the freeway, while the sixth gear reduces fuel consumption and vibrations without cutting that much into passing power.
Technically, both the simple and Cory Ness Jackpot motorcycles are exactly the same. Style is what sets these two models apart, so we’ll have to start with the basics: designers had to pretty much come up with a work of art while maintaining the bike long (95.9 in / 2,435 mm), low (5.3 in / 135 mm ground clearance) and sleek (just look at it). You get a 25.7 in / 653 mm seat height and that, together with the 652 lbs (296 kg) dry weight should make the thing quite maneuverable.
Victory uses the same 43mm conventional telescopic fork and single, mono-tube gas, cast aluminum with rising rate linkage, preload adjustable spring suspension on all of their cruisers and customs, the only thing that differs from model to model being wheel travel. In this case, the front benefits of 5.1 in/130 mm of travel, while the rear only gets 3.0 in/76 mm of travel. The actual wheels are custom Anvil Billet units measuring 21 inches in diameter up front and 18 inches at the rear.
On each one, there is a 300mm floating rotor (with four-piston caliper front and two-piston caliper rear) but that’s most likely the last thing you’ll spot.
History
Competition
Exterior
On the 2010 Victory Cory Ness Jackpot, you do get the feel that this is a bike that got as special as it could get and it is all due to the multitude of features that make it limited: diamond-cut cylinder heads, numbered badges, custom-stitched seats, chrome Ness grips and mirrors as well as Ness billet wheels and engine covers and Ness footpegs. These are all little things that, together, add a special feel to the bike, but still the first thing that strikes you is the custom Ness paint and graphics. We like the Evil 7 billet wheels more than those on the standard bike, but the bike looks too loaded with graphics in our opinion.
Press Reviews
First impressions as I slid my skinny butt into the Jackpot’s saddle were encouraging. Its bars spread nicely and allow a relaxed riding stance with plenty of leverage to muscle the Jackpot through tighter corners. The pegs are far enough away from the rider that anyone under six feet will be able to have their legs almost straight. visordown
It delivers a burly surge of torquey power that will dust even Harley’s 110 c.i. CVO motor, and it is noticeably stronger than Victory’s 100 c.i. version we sampled in a Vegas 8-Ball while testing the Jackpot. Shift quality from the Jackpot’s 6-speed transmission wasn’t quite as smooth as the 8-Ball’s 5-speeder. motorcycle
The six-speed transmission shifted cleanly and expects precise rider input under hard acceleration, while the overdrive 6th gear and generous torque allows you to chug along while cruising the coast or at full-on highway speeds. ultimatemotorcycling
“Vibrations coming off the counterbalanced engine are nominal, and a combination air/oil cooled system keeps heat down to easily tolerable levels. Victory did an admirable job of tucking the oil cooler unobtrusively between the front downtubes.” motorcycle-usa
Handling can be described as the full-commitment type. You can get away with a simple countersteer and push your way through a turn, or better yet, throw a bit of body weight into it to get the bike to lean over further on that 250-spec rear tire. amadirectlink
Price
The prices for the Victory Jackpot models position them right within reach of the average cruiser buyer and far away from choppers they’re trying to make a statement against. This translates into $18,499 for the simple Jackpot and $24,499 for the Cory Ness Jackpot.
Conclusion
It seems Victory can’t get enough of delivering custom motorcycles that set new standards in their categories. Despite being powered by the same engine, the style is different and that’s how the Jackpot and Cory Ness Jackpot stand out. And if we give a second thought to this fact, we realize this is also how custom bike manufacturers and chopper builders use to get the job done as well.
