Naperville Victory - Chicagoland Cruisers

Geoff · 04-24-2009, 01:57 PM

We've discussed this before, but does anyone know what's happening with Naperville Victory? They were suppose to open in April, according to a rep I spoke with at the Rosemont bike show.

The dealer is reportedly located on Aurora Ave. near Menard's, but I don't even see a sign on the building.

Naperville surprises me. It's one of the largest cities in Illinois. But with LVC closing there's not a single motorcycle dealer in town. Considering the demographic, Naperville must be the most underserved market in the U.S.

I saw some construction near the VW dealer near ogden and wondered if that would be it----

I think its called N V Motorsports or something to that effect. I take a look inside next time i run to Menards. They have a sign up now, but I haven't looked through the window in a while.

Its still unbelievable how few bike shops there are around here. I know the winters are tough, but its a royal pain to go all the way to DGY for anything. Too bad LVC couldn't keep it together.

I heard there was supposed to b a new custom shop opening very different from your typical cycle shop....it was the House of something... I believe....The House of TORQ!!!

From a guy on a Victory site...they got occupancy permit last Friday. The guy called there this morning and although not everthing is in place on the shelves or walls, they were open today.
They are just West of Menards and between the liquor store and carpet store.

Hello Chicaoland Cruisers!-

I know that this is long overdo, but we are now open, we have bikes, gear, apparel (with more arriving everyday) , and we are set with the tools and diagnostic equipment to service any make or model bike.

We welcome all riders. Under our roof we have dirt, cruiser, sport touring, racing, drag, Metric, BMW, Triumph, and whateverelseyoucanthinkof, experience.

We are having our public open house May 23rd, the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend. On site we will have Stunters, a DJ, local 80's/90's cover band, and vendors (with cool stuff but they just want to peddle their stuff)

When you visit us you will see, we are not like other powersports stores. No gimmicks, and none of the egos we have all seen before.

Polaris and Victory are the premiun brands in the industry. We believe in treating our customers accordingly.

Please contact me with any questions 630 355 9965

welcome Roy!

Great to have a variety of dealers here. Consider this post as your freebie. If you want to advertise your store further pls PM/contact Fred first, the owner of the site.

Geoff · 05-11-2009, 09:43 AM

Roy, glad to hear you're open.

Is Kent still with the business? I ask because I sent him an email but didn't get a reply. Also, over time, do you intend to add any additional marques to your lineup...ie, BMW, Guzzi, Honda, etc.?

social distortion · 05-11-2009, 10:24 AM

Ive always wanted to try out a Victory since i dont know anyone with them and I have no clue on how they ride..

Tigz · 05-11-2009, 10:29 AM
