What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Now I have transmission failure and the repair cost more than the motorcycle is worth.
While riding to work today back wheel started feeling loose .stopped and checked wheel and found two broken spoke and some bent spokes.I called the dealer they stated no knowledge of other bikes having an issue but when I checked the internet I found many people have had the same issue.
While driving my 2015 victory highball motorcycle the speedometer suddenly stopped working. As of today, 11/10/2014, it still does not work but the needle will jump periodically. I have only had this motorcycle for a week and plan on taking it back to the dealer to see if they can fix it.
