We are proud to announce that the Vengeance Vindicator has been named “Top 5 Bike of 2003” by Hotbike magazine. With all of the bikes tested annually by Hot Bike this is quite an honor. The fact that this award represents the first year of production, is an amazing complement to the hard work, expertise and dedication of our production staff.
TOP 5 BIKES
Our Favorites From ’03 — By Howard Kelly
Each year we’re able to test motorcycles from all of the major manufacturers in our industry, and each year they seem to improve. And much to the dismay of the manufacturers, our road tests become longer. The more we like a bike, the harder it is for them to have it returned.
If you are new to HOT BIKE, our road tests work on a very simple premise: We ride the bikes for a month, not just a day of playing on the bike. This includes a month of daily commuting, traveling, errand running, and weekend playing, just like you would do if you owned it. By using the bike everyday, we can pick out all the good and bad traits it will exhibit.
Vengeance Vindicator
Built to catch your eye, the Vindicator was a surprise for us this year. Usually, a first year company has a number of production changes to make before we find a test bike that we really like. Not so with the Vindicator. We liked the bike from the minute we saw it, and enjoyed it even more when we started riding it around. From one of the nicest polishing jobs on a motor we have ever seen to the beautifully shaped metal work, the vindicator grabs attention.
Twist the throttle and the big 113ci S&S reminds you of why low, fat customs are so much fun. With chrome everywhere you look, the Vengeance carries a well-deserved $29,995 price tag. Like we said, normally a brand-new manufacturer doesn’t score this high, but the Vindicator impressed us so much, one of our senior executives bought it. You may just see it on our pages again.
