For many, Daytona Bike Week begins the new riding season. And due to the popularity of the event, OEMs like to have a huge presence, and cater to their current and future customers.

Victory Motorcycles is one of these OEMs, and the American motorcycle manufacturer has many events set for Daytona Bike Week, which runs March 7-15. This Daytona Victory events include a new display that features the Gunner, demo rides, appearances by Gunny and the Ness family, a police-riding demo, and other events exclusive to Victory owners.

“Victory is going to keep riders busier than ever throughout Daytona Bike Week with the new Victory Display, Victory Bike Nights, and special events exclusively for Victory riders,” said Steve Menneto, Polaris VP Motorcycles. “You can get a free breakfast, meet ‘Gunny’ and the Ness family, and see and ride the new Victory Gunner cruiser. We plan on making this the best Bike Week ever.”
