2012 Victory Motorcycle
Victory is well-known for its catering to the luxury-touring motorcyclist, but the Polaris-owned company is also huge on appealing to riders who enjoy a mean, American look while having the additional space of hard bags.
Victory continues this for 2012 with its popular hard-bagger, the Cross Country. And due to the popularity/positivity of the previous-year Cross Country, Victory didn’t change much for 2012.
The Victory Cross Country continues to offer that mean low styling combined with comfort, much cargo space and an integrated audio system.
Following are the highlights, color options, MSRP and specs of the 2012 Victory Cross Country.
