2012 Victory Motorcycle

The 2012 Victory Cross Roads brings simplicity to the touring motorcyclist by offering a fairing-free bagger.

But because of this simplicity, don’t think this cruiser is incapable of coast-to-coast trips in the saddle. The Cross Roads, which is powered by Victory’s 106 ci motor paired with a six-speed transmission, features a comfy dual-seat and driver floorboards for traveling comfort.

This comfort and power is featured on a touring machine that arrives with cruise control and standard ABS, making it the highest-value touring motorcycle in the 2012 Victory Lineup.

But there’s something more for the 2012 Victory Cross Roads. Under the Victory Core Custom Program, the rider can select the motorcycle’s color and its equipment, such as hard or soft saddlebags, and have the parts installed at Victory Dealerships.

Following is info about Victory’s Core Customer Program, some highlights, color options, MSRP and specs.

Victory Core Customer Program

The Victory Core Custom Program allows a rider to select the bike color, saddlebag style, highway bar style and whether the bike has a windshield or not; there are 48 different possible combinations of the available elements.

When purchasing a Cross Roads, a rider will choose:

  • Bike color: solid sunset Red or solid black
  • Saddlebag style: a rider chooses between leather "soft" saddlebags or hard bags. The soft saddlebags have a strong, formed interior and are covered by a grained vinyl and leather. They feature classic styling with rivet trim and large leather straps. the hard saddlebags are like those that are standard on the cross country, and have lockable lids.
  • Highway bar style: a rider chooses either Forged chrome Highway bars or chrome tube Highway bars
