Information: Denny B. THE VICTORY 8-BALL
A STATEMENT. FOR THOSE WHO DON’T REALLY NEED TO MAKE A
STATEMENT.
It’s brash. It’s bold. It’s obviously American. The Victory Vegas 8-Ball is the very embodiment of menacing good looks. Blacked out from split tail tank to fork sliders to triple clamps. A sinister sea of black. Blacked-out engine, blacked-out swingarm, blacked-out belt guard. It may take a second glance to realize the 8-Ball is a direct descendent of the Vegas. But then it’s worth a second glance. And a third. With a five-speed, 100 cubic inch, four-valves-per-cylinder, overhead cam Freedom V-Twin, you’ll find its performance as solid as its powder-coated components. And if you think you’ll pay a premium, think again. You’re looking at a bike whose face value far exceeds its cost. Whose overall aesthetic is rivaled only by its ride prowess. Whose mere presence commands your attention.
