There will be a new Victory Vegas Limited Edition for 2010 for those wanting a power-cruiser with speed and power. Recently unveiled at the New York Motorcycle Show, it’s up for some hard competition with Harley Davidson, currently in some deep water over last year’s losses.
The Vegas Limited Edition is equipped with Victory’s Freedom V-Twin engine, now with 97 hp and about 150 Nm of torque. That’s plenty of pulling power from the bike, which could prove to be the fastest in the Victory line-up. Colours are Fire Ball Red, Competition Yellow, Pearl White and Turbo Silver, and other features are a colour-matched frame and swingarm contrasted with black forks and drivetrain.
The Victory Vegas Limited Edition costs about $15,999 US (approx. 11,400 euros) and can be ordered until February 15th. Only 100 will be made and certainly none of them will be coming to Europe, so we can just sit back and admire the photos.
