2012 Victory Vegas | Preview

2012 Victory Motorcycle

Victory returns in 2012 with its popular Vegas model, a customized-style cruiser with the Polaris company’s 106 ci Freedom V-Twin.

From the scalloped fuel tank to the 21-inch front wheel to the low seat height, the Vegas follows the tradition of OEM custom-styling from its inception back in 2003, the lines inspired by Arlen and Corey Ness.

Following are highlights, color options and MSRP of the 2012 Victory Vegas.

Signature Vegas Styling

The Vegas never fit in the stodgy box of retro cruiser styling. It forged the way for progressive Victory styling with its scalloped fuel tank whose split tail integrates with the driver seat. The Vegas also has a raised spine on the fenders and fuel tank, giving the bike a distinctive, boundary-breaking styling cue. it also has a stylish 21" (53.3 cm) front wheel.

Premium Victory Performance

The Vegas is powered by the Freedom 106/6 stage 2 V-twin, a fuel-injected, counter-balanced, air-cooled engine producing 113 ft-lb of torque. the 6-speed transmission has overdrive.

Extraordinary Rider Comfort

Vegas ergonomics put a rider in a comfortable position with complete control of the bike. it has a low seat height or 25.5" (640 mm) and its 2" (5.0 cm) pull-back handlebars put the upper controls within easy reach.
