The 2017 Victory Motorcycles line-up introduces new colours and LED headlights, but streamlines its range from 15 to an even dozen.
They have axed three cruisers, including the ‘5os hotrod style Jackpot, the Hammer 8 Ball, but not the Hammer S and sadly the Judge muscle cruiser.
In Australia there are only 14 current models, because we don’t yet import the Empulse TT electric motorcycle which this year gets increased power.
There is no word yet from Victory Motorcycles Australia on when the new models will arrive or colour choices.
CRUISERS
The new 1200cc Octane muscle cruiser now comes in four colours, instead of just black. There is now a steel grey, gloss black, pearl white and gloss black with gold stripe graphics.
Gunner now comes in suede titanium metallic or suede sagebrush green metallic, Vegas in sunset red, Vegas 8-Ball in gloss black, Hammer S in gloss black with white stripes and High-Ball in a new suede black with black-wall tyres or a new suede nuclear sunset orange with white-wall tyres.
