We had a lot of fun riding the LE; it was definitely quick and had plenty of power through all six gears. The off-the-line torque made for some great stoplight-to-stoplight blips and the two-tone red and black paint scheme really fit with the muscle-car-esque look and performance of our test bike. While we wouldn't really expect to roll onto the Salt Flats and break any land speed records on the LE (maybe with some motor work though), we'd definitely expect to get noticed.
To coincide with the aggressive look and performance of the LE, Victory priced the bike pretty aggressively with an MSRP of $15,999, that's only $1,200 more than a standard Vegas model with the 100ci/six-speed drivetrain. Ok, now here's the kicker, being that it is a Limited Edition bike with only 100 units being produced, Victory has already closed out orders on the bike. This means you can't order an LE from the factory anymore, but maybe you can find one at a dealership or online. But we will say, if Victory continues to offer limited edition bikes with upgraded performance and exclusive paint schemes at reasonable price points like this Vegas LE, we think it'll definitely encourage those who have been on the fence or maybe never even considered buying a Victory to take a closer look.
