2008 Victory Vegas

THE VEGAS 8-BALL IS PAINTED IN A WAY THAT MATCHES ITS PERSONALITY. IT DELIVERS SO MUCH MORE FOR SO MUCH LESS AND IS POWERED BY A 100 C.I. FREEDOM V-TWIN.

With its bold, modern style and groundbreaking performance the Vegas® not only redefined what an American cruiser should be, it set a new standard by which every new Victory model is measured. From its custom paint schemes, flush-mounted taillight, and signature sculpted tank to its trademark 100-cubic-inch Freedom® V-Twin™ engine with true 6-speed overdrive, the Victory Vegas continues to push the limits of custom style, power, performance, and reliability.

One look and you understand why the Vegas™ creates such a buzz. Smooth, flowing lines. Stunning styling details once seen only on hand-built customs. With styling touches from master custom builders and Victory design partners Arlen and Cory Ness, Vegas is the definition of "smooth."

FEATURES:

Flush mounted tail light - like the flush mounted fuel cap, this enhances the bike's clean, smooth styling. Light is less prone is damage than a raised tail light.

Split tail fuel tank intergrated with seat - Seat provides the ideal combination of cushion and support and its front edge blends into the split tail of the fuel tank.

Custom scallop tank - Along with its scallops, this tank features the vegas's signature raised spine that introduced a new ear in crusing styling.

Raised tip to tail spine - This signature Vegas styling cus runs from tip to tip on both fenders and down the center of the custom look scalloped fuel tank.

Custom inspired headlight - The streamlined headlight housing complements the bike's smooth, flowing lines and evokes the notion of motion even when the bike is stationary.

Closed loop fuel injection - The closed loop injection system provides constant feedback and measured amount of fuel and air for a smoother, more responsive ride.

Freedom 100 Cubic Inch V-Twin engine - Re-engineered for 2008, this next generation, smooth, efficient 100 cubic inch (1,634cc) engine produces 85 horsepower and 106 ft-lbs of torque.

Six Speed overdrive transmission - Re-engineered for 2008, it features a new quiet running, higher-ratio 6th gear, and lower ratio 1st gear improving drivability and acceleration.
