2012 Victory Cross Country 1731cc — Metallic Red/Silver — Fresh Florida Import — £10,995

American Cruiser UK is proud to offer this absolutely superb 2012 Victory Cross Country 1731cc, finished in a stunning metallic red and silver two-tone paint scheme and showing just 19,295 miles from new.

This is a very special machine. Not only is it one of the most striking American baggers of its era, but this particular bike has clearly been cherished, garage kept, and heavily upgraded with a long list of expensive, highly desirable custom parts. It is a two-owner bike, freshly imported from Florida, and the condition speaks for itself. The chrome, paintwork and overall presentation are exactly what you hope to find on a properly cared-for American cruiser.

We have also just fitted a new front tyre, and the bike benefits from braided lines throughout, adding both quality and reassurance to an already very impressive package.

At £10,995, this represents a huge amount of motorcycle for the money — big capacity, big presence, premium custom extras, genuine long-distance comfort and that unmistakable Victory character.

Background — The 2012 Victory Cross Country

Victory Motorcycles was Polaris Industries’ bold entry into the heavyweight American V-twin market. Built to offer something different from the traditional Harley-Davidson route, Victory motorcycles became known for their strong engines, modern chassis design, distinctive styling and excellent long-distance ability.

The Cross Country was one of Victory’s most important touring models. It gave riders the classic American bagger look — wide stance, flowing hard panniers, full front fairing and long, low cruiser attitude — but combined it with modern engineering and genuine touring practicality.

By 2012, the Cross Country had developed into a seriously capable mile-eater, powered by the legendary Freedom 106 V-Twin, a 1731cc engine with masses of torque and a relaxed, effortless delivery.

This was not a small cruiser dressed up to look big. The Cross Country was built from the start as a proper American touring bagger: low seat height, comfortable riding position, cruise control, hard luggage, stereo system, belt drive and a six-speed overdrive gearbox designed for long days on open roads.

Now that Victory Motorcycles is no longer in production, clean, low-mileage and well-kept examples are becoming increasingly difficult to find. The best ones — especially bikes with tasteful upgrades and strong ownership history — are now sought after by riders who want a premium American cruiser with individuality, presence and value.

This Particular Bike

This 2012 Victory Cross Country is a real standout. Finished in metallic red and silver, it has the correct big American touring look: long, low, wide, beautifully detailed and dripping in chrome.

The previous owner clearly loved this bike and spent a serious amount of money improving it. It has been tastefully customised with a huge list of premium additions, many of which would cost a fortune to buy and fit today. This is not a tired import or a basic standard bike. It is a properly dressed, high-spec Cross Country that looks, sounds and rides like a special machine.

Being a fresh Florida import, it benefits from the kind of life we love to see on American cruisers. Florida bikes generally avoid the harsh salt and winter road conditions that can affect UK motorcycles, and this one shows all the signs of being garage kept from new. The chrome is bright, the paintwork presents beautifully, and the whole bike has the look of a machine that has been polished, protected and enjoyed rather than abused.

Expensive Custom Extras & Upgrades

This Victory is loaded with high-quality extras, including a superb selection of chrome Arlen Ness accessories and several rare, desirable touring upgrades.

Fitted extras include:

• Chrome Arlen Ness mirrors
• Chrome Arlen Ness footboards
• Chrome Arlen Ness fork base covers
• Chrome Arlen Ness handlebars
• Chrome Arlen Ness engine shrouds
• Chrome front rim
• Klock Werks tinted windshield
• Magnum rear bag lids
• Custom pipes with Power Commander — sounds superb
• Rare cast alloy Magnum chromed front crash bars
• LED speaker covers
• LED headlight
• Upgraded Hi-Fi speaker system
• Painted inner fairing
• Bag rails
• Braided lines throughout
• New front tyre fitted by us
• Additional chrome and custom detailing throughout

The list really does go on. This is one of those bikes where the more you look, the more you notice. There are custom touches everywhere, and the overall effect is superb: classy, muscular and very expensive-looking without being overdone.

Condition

The condition is one of the strongest selling points of this bike. It has clearly been garage kept, and that shows in the quality of the chrome and paintwork. So many large American cruisers can look tired if they have been left outside or used through poor conditions, but this Victory presents beautifully throughout.

The metallic red and silver paintwork looks fantastic against the chrome, and the upgraded parts give it a real show-bike presence. The braided lines, newly fitted front tyre and overall level of detail all add to the feeling that this bike has been properly cared for and thoughtfully improved.

With only 19,295 miles from new, this Cross Country has covered very sensible mileage for a big 1731cc touring V-twin. These bikes were designed to cover distance in comfort, and this example has clearly had an easy, cherished life.

How It Rides

The Victory Cross Country is a proper long-distance American bagger. The 1731cc Freedom 106 engine delivers strong, relaxed torque, making it ideal for effortless cruising, overtaking and two-up touring. The six-speed overdrive gearbox keeps the bike settled at speed, while the belt drive gives smooth, low-maintenance power delivery.

The riding position is comfortable and commanding, with large footboards, wide bars, excellent wind protection from the fairing and screen, and proper hard-luggage practicality. Add in the upgraded audio, custom pipes and cruise-friendly character, and this becomes a bike that is just as happy on a Sunday ride as it is on a serious touring trip.

The custom exhaust and Power Commander setup give the bike a deep, strong sound without losing the refined touring nature of the Cross Country. It sounds exactly how a big American V-twin should — rich, muscular and full of character.

Why This One Stands Out

There are ordinary Cross Country models, and then there are bikes like this.

This one has the colour, the condition, the ownership background, the Florida import story and the expensive extras. It has been tastefully enhanced with the sort of parts that serious Victory owners look for: Arlen Ness chrome, Magnum details, upgraded lighting, upgraded audio, rare crash bars, custom pipes and a Power Commander.

It also benefits from braided lines throughout and a newly fitted front tyre, making it even more appealing to the next owner.

To recreate this specification today would cost a huge amount of money. That is what makes this bike such good value. You are not just buying a 2012 Victory Cross Country — you are buying a carefully built, well-kept, high-spec American touring cruiser that has already had the money spent in all the right places.
