Victory Highball: $19,995
And that's a ride away price for the new 106 cubic-inch V-twin custom cruiser, with other models in the Victory line-up also being price ‘massaged' for 2012Victory Motorcycles’ new 2012 Highball custom cruiser will retail for $19,995 ride away when it goes on sale before the end of the year.
The Highball is priced the same as the Vegas 8-Ball, which shares the same all-American 106 cubic-inch (1731cc) Freedom Engine and six-speed gearbox.
The solo-leaning Highball features high-rise bars, spoked wheels, white-wall tyres and is all black – including the handlebars, headlight bucket, triple trees, frame, fender struts and cylinder heads covers.
And, following that theme, there’s only colour – matte black with a part white tank.
The high-rise handlebars are adjustable and can be set in an upright or laid-back position with minimal fuss.
The 16-inch wheels are gripped by chunky 130-section (front) and 150-section rubber, and the undersquare, fuel injected air/oil cooled-engine (101mm x 108mm bore and stroke) is good for 97hp and 153Nm. Like all Victorys, the Highball is belt driven.
“While you can certainly get a smaller capacity American-built motorcycle for under $20K on the road, currently the only true, large capacity offerings are Victorys,” said Managing Director of Victory Motorcycles Australia, Peter Alexander.
"In our home market of the USA we clearly topped the independent industry survey for quality and owner satisfaction, so we'll take that huge pat on the back as validation of our genuine challenger attitude and status.
"Now we're not just setting the standard for quality but for price also. We'd challenge anyone to ride a Victory and then seriously tell us that there is a better genuine cruiser product out there."
Meanwhile, the rest of the Victory range has also received some substantial price repositioning.
For example, the power cruising Hammer range now starts at $26,995 ride away, the factory custom Jackpot range at $29,995 ride away, and for touring riders it’s a $26,495 starting point.
