- Vengeance Named Top 10 by Easyriders (8/1/2005)
Easyriders magazine named the Vengeance Black Widow as one of the “Top 10 Bikes”. Each year Easyriders staff chooses 10 bikes that they feel are the best of the best. As you can imagine this is a monumental task and with the 100’s of bikes they see each year it is difficult to narrow down the field. Easyriders was so impressed with the Widow they included Vengeance in this elite group of manufacturers.
“Vengeance is proud to be selected as a top 10 bike for the second year in a row by such a prestigious publication. We would like to thank the staff of Easyriders for including Vengeance in such an elite group of manufacturers.”— Stephen C. Sharpe

- Vengeance Named Best of the Best Radical Customs (10/1/2003)
If you didn’t get your copy of the Hotbike 50+ Radical Customs, Vengeance was the 3rd custom listed right after the Arlen Ness fire fighters tribute bike. If the print is too small in the photo above here’s what Hotbike had to say:
“You may be asking yourself: ‘Who is this Vengeance company? I’ve never heard of them.’ And in that, you may be correct, since they just closed the books on year one of production. But in that time, Vengeance has created a six-bike lineup featuring four choppers, a pro street and a beach cruiser.
Five of the six carry a 113 ci S&S motor (the Striker has a 107) that looks as good as it runs—the finish on the polishing is incredible. Smooth-shifting five-speed transmissions and lots chrome billet everywhere add to the package.
With distinctive sheet metal designs and wild graphics, a Vengeance is easily recognized on the street. As you pour over any of the available models, the attention to detail will keep your attention at its peak.” — Howard Kelly, Editor Hotbike Magazine
Thanks for the kind words! Watch for next months issue of Hotbike with a feature story and test-ride review of a Vengeance Vindicator.
